Every boy wants MAGNE-TRACTION

Since video games wouldn't be made for at least another few decades, Lionel Trains declared that 1953 was the year that EVERY boy would want their toy trains. Granted, the burst of the baby boomer tried to give the post-war generation a more peaceful and innocent age, but treating train sets that are something you as a boy should wrangle your father into instead of just going the heck outside and get some sunshine shows how far back the concept of grinding culture went. Just because your product has "magne-traction" doesn't mean children are going to have an expression on their face like it was the Second Coming.
