Good topic & good response Gerald! <br />My first: plastic windup British OO set in 1948 <br />[ I was 5 ]Then, Trix Twin 3-rail AC set 1951 and I still have the 4-4-0 engine and tender. <br />Also from 1951, still have an 0-6-2 OO/HO white metal windup engine that ran on the Trix track. <br />We moved to Canada in 1952. <br />Next was Marx O27 size set in 1953.Still have the transformer and a couple of freight cars. <br />Went into HO scale to stay, in 1957, with an Athearn GP9 [GP7]freight set.I still have that engine [converted to an early 60's gear drive from Hi-F rubber band ].It runs very well. All those 1957 freight cars run on my current [5th] HO layout, albeit with weathering, and Kadee wheels and couplers.Added a lot of HO in the 45 years since starting. <br />regards \Mike\ Meaford Ont Canada
