I think that I was obsessed with trains when I was in the womb! I don't know eactly why I became so interested in trains, but ever since I could talk I've been crazy about trains. Of course it was only natural that I get a train set. My first electirc train was a Playmobil G scale set I got when I was about 3 years old. Extra cars and track were added to it and I still have it now. I got my first HO train (a Bachmann Warbonnet F9 circle set) when I was about 5. I've been accumulating HO trains ever since. My Dad built me my first HO layout when I was in grade 2. I've also been very interested in toy trains and wanted a Lionel set for as long as I could remember because my uncle had a Scout set when he was a kid in the 50's. I now am a collector of Lionel and all sorts of other vintage O and S gauge tinplate trains in addition to HO. I'm only 17 right now and the basement of my house is packed with trains. I have no intention of slowing down at all! <br /> <br />Glen Chenier, the Countess of Dufferin doesn't pull the Prairie Dog. That operation is run by a different 4-4-0 that used to work for Winnipeg Hydro. The Countess is on display at the Winnipeg Railway Museum in the Via station.
