Very cool....When I was a teenager in the 1990's, I became somewhat of a "pen pal" with Richard Kughn, the owner of Lionel at the time when I was actively collecting Lionel trains. He was a very friendly man with a heck of a collection of trains and cars. While I still love toy trains and still have them all, I eventually moved on to other areas of interest. I did have my 1953 Santa Fe Super Chief passenger set around the Christmas tree this year, the first time I've had a train out in quite a few years. Still something that takes you back to your childhood when you run them!
I know the train hobby has suffered as the collectors aged, but this clock still appealing in many aspects. It will be neat to see what it ends at!
