Actually, silverchampion, I'd forgotten about that one. I had a windup train, too, with a brightly lithographed metal engine. I was about three or four. My mom for years told the story about her son's first train. He and daddy were upstairs playing with it, and after about half an hour she heard a little voice ask, "Daddy, can I do it now?" She got a big kick out of 'my' first train! I'm not bitter, though. Dad and I had lots of fun on railfan trips and with HO in later years. Those were golden years. At 57, I'm still wound up about trains, thanks to him.
