QUOTE: Originally posted by cnw1995 I don't know what it was. My dad had some prewar Lionel which we never really saw. My brothers and I had a HO figure 8 on the ping-pong table when we were younger, but we had to give it up when my sister was born and we needed the room. I forgot about trains for a long time. Then I discovered MR mag in our local public library in 2000 and was hooked. Read five years of back issues, and bought myself an N scale train set. Eventually I had a 3 x 5 ft. layout on folding legs I would slide behind the couch when not using it. It gradually dawned on me that the N scale was too small and fiddly for my ten thumbs. I bought myself a Ballyhoo set for this past Xmas and I was hooked. Now I subscribe to CTT and OGR. I remembered my dad's old trains. He'd had them all refurbished at Madison Hardware in the early 80s. Here I am trying to put together a layout. See some of it at http://condor.depaul.edu/~dmurphy/pictures.htm
