I was 2 days old on Christmas Day 1962.

Fashions sure have changed a lot huh? No one but no one wore antlers back in the day!

Yep, I still have it. It's a "Mountaineer" set from '53.

Below is a photo from '05. My daughter and the same train.

Have the book, love the picture and the book.  Thanks for the post- you should be proud!  We must be about the same age.  I have a similar picture with me, a Kiddie Car, and an American Flyer!

 Hello Bassflyer!   Nice Photo of you & your train. Now you're famous!  Do you still have that particular Train Set after all of these years?  Take Care.

And I've also bought quite a few  new & used books through Amazon.

They make nice gifts.

Anyone have it? Great book IMHO.

If you have it, you may recall this photo on page 33.
