I'm pretty sure if I rummage through my basket of old Dinkey toys and Matchbox cars, I'll find a few pieces of Lone Star rolling stock. I had it when I was about 3 (1968), and a loop of track my Dad glued to a sheet of plywood, then painted on scenery and roads. I still had the "layout" until about 6 years ago when we cleaned out my Mom's house after she died.
This stuff was pretty tough, and provided a young budding model railroader with many happy hours, until it was supplanted first by a clockwork Tri-ang set, then electric Tri-ang trains, and then HO scale, then N scale, and so on, and so on and so on....
Thanks for bringing back the memories!
