Wow, that was around 1946-47 and from what I recall, not a very large set....they came in different sizes. My dad caught hell from mom in 1948 for spending $20 on a Lionel Crane car for my train set Back then, $20 was a week's grocery bill. I had a 4-6-2 Lionel, an American Flyer, believe 4-6-4 and a Marx train set. Yeah, we all had Lincoln Logs and they made nice train tunnels and buildings we didn't have. My dad was a master Tinsmith with a great reputation, so although we weren't in the rich catagory, Dad had a new Packard every other year and I did get some nice stuff. Of course, as dad's son, I helped in the shop.

Lincoln Logs are still available but the Erector sets have gone mod, from what I see, and nothing like the old original stuff. The stuff on the market now, we could only have dreamed about back then. Hi Tech was only Space Cadets and Buck Rogers. That's before we all started watching Annette on Mickey mouse Club.
