Trains from your childhood??

[Anonymous]

I am just wondering how many of us still have our first train we had as a kid and are still running it?? As for me I still have that first train that Santa brought me many many years ago. I run that train often, it is just a real cheep train, but it is still the one I like the best. Alan www.MrTrain.com

Between watching The Addams Family and all those Godzilla movies as a kid, eventually all my trains got vaporized .

Alan,
My very first train went up in smoke after only two laps. The second one came two years later. A TYCO CP Rail freight set. Still have most of it! Love the smell those old motors made! Later eh...Brian.

I had one of those cheap tin train sets that sold for a nice penny or two.

When I was young and innocent I had two American Flyer Royal Blue sets (late 1940s). None of them survived my childhood. If they had they would probably be worth a lot of money today.

Hi
I don't have many of the trains from my child hood but I do have some of them.
They are all packed up I keep meaning to get them out find out what works, and send
the rest away for repair so I can set them up but never get round to it..
