LOL Bosgood!.

And Eric, I'm sorry.
I used to like HO, but It became to much. Its so annoying with the stupid couplers on the tracks and the cork. Thats why I switched to O gauge.

The only thing I like about HO is the price! ! ! ! !

Since I can remember, i've been toying with model railroads, i'm Eric. Born 3-29-89, and my father died in '96.

earliest i remember me doing model railroading was with HO scales , back in about 92 or 93, i believe. last night , i got a bunch of old 50s-60's lionel o-gauge trains that were my dads when he was a little boy, and i'm trying to find out as much as i can about them.

My son would post if he could type. He is 5.

We were in a train store the other evening and there was a blue comet set up there. My son asks the store owner what train is that. The man says thats a passenger train sonny. My son says "I know that I meant what LINE. I like Pennsylvania Rail Road."

I'm 18 right now. My primary interest is collecting and operating prewar and postwar toy trains (modern era stuff doesn't really interest me too much), but I also have a lot of HO as well. My O and S gauge trains and accessories are set up on a large U-shaped traditional tinplate green carpet layout. The majority of my stuff is Lionel, American Flyer and Marx, but I love trains by the various smaller and foreign manufacturers and a large portion of my collection is devoted to them. I like having a varied collection that is able to showcase the history of vintage toy trains as a whole, rather than that of just one or two manufacturers. Besides American-made trains, I have trains from Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Great Britain, France, West Germany, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Denmark, USSR and Japan. To quote Elliot, "If it has flanged wheels, I like it!"
