    Must be rare indeed! The P-38 was the "Lightning"

    You're probably thinking P-39

    Yeah, I have a Lionel train set that’s about ten or so years old. I used to put toy cars on the tracks and it’ll short out the circuit. It really scared 5 year old me. :) @RailfanEthan

    i dont know much about model planes but from my experience with model trains, buying newer trains will be worth it, because most of the older ones are more dangerous and not as detailed. for example, i inherited a Marx Trains set that my grandfather had. When we put it on the tracks and tried it out, that thing left so many sparks i thought it was gonna start a fire

    I don’t know. Some of the bits may have flexed a little since it was packaged, so it may not go together very well. But my dad built quite a few model aircraft back in the 80s, and they’re all hanging on the roof of me and my brother’s bedrooms. And they’re as good as models you could buy today.
    So idk.
