I got my first 'train set' ,( Tyco,"Spirit of '76", of which I still have all the cars, but lost the loco)in 1974 or '75. Unfortunately, I really didn't care for trains, so it went into a box. For a few years, I inherited some HO stuff from my uncle, and relatives would buy me cars. When I was around 11, I discovered scale models and built 1/48 aircraft and 1/35 military, mostly WWII stuff. Around 9 years ago, I re-discovered, if you will, my trains in a box and decided to bring them out. Now I can't stop. I think that all those years of modelling have prepared me for this by teaching me skills and patience while being cost effective. The price of a decent quality scale model is low compared to some railroad accessories. So you can mess up a paint job and practice without ruining something of high quality. I'm 37 now, and have found that the rr keeps me from going completely insane, I think.
