Railroad (Double) Crossing

A Novel: A Skirmish in the Lionel Vs Mth Train War

By: Jim Mortensen,Mortensen Jim Mortensen

As the twentieth century turned to the twenty-first, there was a civil war raging in the toy train hobby between those who ran and/or collected O-gauge toy trains. The icon of the hobby, Lionel LLC, was being challenged by an upstart company, Mike's Train House (MTH), for the minds, hearts and pocketbooks of those in the hobby or just beginning in it. When Bill and Amy Weaver inherit a rare, one-of-a-kind toy train locomotive they are targeted by two wealthy collectors who will do anything, legal or otherwise, to obtain this valuable addition to their collection. If they can't buy it then maybe they will have to kill for it.
