Gave it to a friend a couple years ago, one thing of interest is that the track was identical to Fleischmann's old track that had fiberboard ties and stamped metal rail. Also interesting is the unit number on the Cragstan loco. It almost sounds like a Lionel diesel number, as Lionel did make locos with the cab numbers of 2242, 2243, and 2245. No 2246 though, but it's an interesting thought.Steve Neubaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160467344558968688noreply@blogger.com
