What kind of train did you start with

Some of my earliest memories are of my father running my great-grandfathers lionel sets in the basement of their first house. I would just sit and watch the thing go 'round and 'round, only one of the engines worked, and for some reason, he never thought to have the others looked at. I think we had about 5. When Iwas about 10, I got my first set, the HO scale Clemntine by Tyco. I ran that train for about 6mos, until I stripped the gears out of it by playing with it on the wood floor. Ooops. I still have some of the cars that came with that set, I remember going to Greenbergs train show and buying an Amtrak passenger engine to run the train, I still have that and it still works. I didn't have much interest in model trains as a teen, the discovery of girls and guitars taking most of my time then. Besides, trains weren't cool, I'm sure most of you can relate. Now, after about a 15 yr haitus, I'm running trains again, much to my girlfriends chagrin.
