So....Bobby Bacala got it while buying the "Blue Comet."
The "Blue Comet" might well be the most famous of all Lionel trains - here is a link to the original, built in the more-massive-than-O "standard gauge" that Lionel dropped during the Depression. For those who aren't interested in dropping quite that much money for Depression-era electrical technologies, MTH has also started a modern "Tinplate Tradition" set which is still pretty expensive - although you can buy it piece by piece.
MTH did a modern version in O Scale - here's a link; it's nice, but it lacks the satisfyingly shiny enamel finish of the tinplate models, to say nothing of their size.
