Although none blame the scarcity on Lionel's recent bankruptcy, two shopkeepers tell me that workers in China, where the sets are made, are getting back at the U.S. for screwing up trade relations. Another blames a boat jam in San Francisco harbor. A man explains that a truck carrying trains to his Arkansas store was in a horrific, mysterious accident...
