<p>My "career" as a model railroader began 53 years ago, when Santa brought me a Marklin starter set consisting of an oval of that typical Marklin tinplate track, 2 4-wheeled tinplate passenger cars and a simple, but rugged tank engine. Those were the days way before Thomas The Tank Engine.</p> <p>Mind you, the set was a simply one, but good quality stuff, and with the additions rolling in for each birthday  and Christmas in the following years, it grew into a humble empire. Marklin trains were not the most detailed ones, but certainly the most durable - with a little maintenance, they are literally indestructible, very much unlike today´s trains, wich are highly detailed, rather expensive pieces of quite often overpriced junk.</p>
