<p>I got my first train set exactly 50 years ago. Out of a family tradition, it had to be Marklin, as mny Dad got his trains 30 years before that. His was a 0-4-0 clockwork loco, running on OO gauge track. A year later, Marklin introduced the HO scale electric version of it.</p> <p>In my youth, it was also a custom to put the trains up for Christmas. Kids were able to operate the trains, usually under the watchful eyes of their dads. Quite a lot put them away on January 6th - for next year´s use.</p>
