Next up--from FAMILY GARDEN TRAINS--G Gauge Christmas Train Sale at the Springfield Train Show Sunday. In the 1980s, Lionel produced several charming track-powered train sets that could run outside, but looked great around a Christmas tree. Most of these sell for $200 or more used now. Later, Lionel went to making battery-powered sets, including a Polar Express set.  READ AND SEE MUCH MORE AT (2) G Gauge Christmas Train Sale at the... - Family Garden Trains | Facebook

From 1964 Mitch Miller--and the gang---an ad for the Thomas Organ; this show was much loved by the grandmother. For those who don't remember, Sing Along with Mitch was a music television show, led by chorus director Mitch Miller, that ran from 1961 to 1964.
