Hi, there are several people I know that are interested in old
music makers and toy (and, or real) trains!  This topic is sometimes
discussed on the theatre organ lists.

Why are people interested in both?  What's the connection?  The only
reason I can think of: is it because we are fascinated with mechanical
things?

I love to work and operate Lionel steam locomotives with the puffing
smoke, operating whistle, and the shiny drive rods spinning!  Any
thoughts out there?
