Quoted from xTheBlackKnightx:Many EMs and woodrails are built like tanks in comparison to most modern games.
Well... yeah. How many of those factories had just been making tanks for WW2 when they switched back over.
But seriously, to someone who grew up in the era of everything being made of plastic, these old EM's are very interesting to see how more robustly built things were back then. (Granted they would have cheaped out if they could have; they just didn't know how yet)
