38. had a HO AMTRAK 4x8 at around 8 to 12. got the bug again from an internet search one day as i uncovered what seemed like some pretty neat stuff for little $. about 2k later i am the proud papa of 150 feet of double main line on a 40 foot wall that traverses back and forth gaining over 2 feet, 2% grade. not much railroad action, completely devoid of scenery, but i like to see the trains go! all my stock is the cheap stuff, real cheap. i bought freight cars from IHC for 99 cents a peice about a year ago. gee, with a new wheelset and coupler, that brings em in at 12 bucks!! oh, plus about 2 hours labor on each one. oh well, i tell myself that comparable stuff sells for 20 or 30 bucks. ha!
