TYCO

My first HO trains were also a TYCO 'Shifter' , a couple of freight cars and a 4 wheel bobber. That was in very early fifties and I immediately parked my American Flyer S gauge tinplate. I remember that the TYCO didn't run too well-no where as good as Amer. Flyer. The loco had a nylon gear that never seemed to mesh correctly and kept chewing itself up. Years later a TYCO mikado did same thing. But that first TYCO looked so realistic to my seven year old eyes compared to the goofy tinplate stuff (my opinion back then) that I never looked back and have been in HO ever since. I still have a TYCO "Shifter" and a TYCO bobber caboose just for the heck of it.
