For me it takes me back to 1977 or '78 and my Life Like set, or 3/4 of it anyway. If I ignore one set of drivers, I see my Life Like 0-4-0, gondola, and northeastern caboose. All that's missing is the 40 foot reefer. Of course, I did have a few Tyco 50 foot boxcars that could sub for that C&O!
I might have to check out the WK&S...

I do have to agree, it looks like it may have slight inspirations to the Tyco, Life Like, Model Power, etc train sets of the 70s and 80s. Not exactly but it still looks somewhat similar.

"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."
