I had had the opportunity to ride the UP(The City of Portland) on vacations to the West to visit relatives and fell in love with trains. When I was in the sixth grade I went to the local hoppy shop with a freind. They had an HO layout set up in the shop. The detail of the engines and rolling stock (Athearn) was so fantastic that I immedicately bought a single green box car kit. I didn't have a layout or even one single piece of track, but I just had to have one of those beautiful cars. I was sixteen then and I have continued to be affected for the past forty years by the bug that bit me that day. I wouldn't change a thing!
