[bill pointon]

when i grew up we had plastic bricks and lincoln logs but the best was  
the ERECTOR SET --- built plenty of cranes bridges ... >>>>> etc ------- 
also had ( and still do ) a bunch of LIONEL trains -- some in prewar 
( II ) o gauge that had been my uncles when he was little and some in 
the newer 027 gauge -- now those were trains .... but they took a lot of 
space to set up  --- billp
