Hey, I've been a railfan all my life. Not all of you are "lascivious pigs"!! :-)
Was just watching ANtiques Roadshow from Minneapolis where a gal brought a train set produced by Lionel in 1957, all in pink and pastel colors in a rather ill-fated attempt to attract young girls to the hobby. The train set was in pristine condition and with all the original boxes and they said it was worth $5000-7000!! However, a pink steam loco just doesn't "do" it for me!!
