Yep. Junk. And yes, my first train was a Tyco set: the "Chattanooga Choo Choo" complete with 0-8-0 featuring tender-drive. Christmas gift when I was about 9. <br /> <br />Yes, It got me started in the hobby, but also very nearly drove me out. One Christmas later I'd quit playing with the set and it was moldering away in the basement. <br /> <br />The gift of a Bachmann Mike probably saved the day. Though we're still not talking about the paragon of quality, at least it freakin' ran and re-sparked the interest in model railroading.
