Remember when Christmas tree tinsel  strips were lead and would short out and spark on electric train tracks under the tree.   The new tinsel today is nonconductive.  What fun is that ??

Hey, if it can keep my American Flyer "S" gauge running, then give me the unleaded tinsel. LOL.

I found a package of that lead tinsel a while back.  It's in my "Old" display case.  The grandkids get a big kick out of the stuff when I show them some of it.  They keep asking about the metal roller skates that clamp onto your shoes.  I won't tell them what they are yet.....
