Well it started way back in I think 1984. IF you guys can inagine the times way back then. I was about 4 years old and it was christmas. We always had a huge family gathering on christmas eve with the whole family. I have a pretty big family and usually there were about 30-40 people. Well us younger folk got to open on epresent that night. We all tore open our gifts and there was this train sitting there. The Mighty Casey. It was a 4' circle with an old steamer and two open top box cars. I was in heaven. This beauty ran on 4 D batteries if you can remember what those were. I went through all the batteries in the house in about two hours. After that I was hooked. I wish my parents would have put it up when I wasn't looking. I later then found a box full of trains in my grandparents basement that my uncle had well that just rekindled the fire. I came home one day after school and my grandpa hollered at me and said hey come over here. So I went over there and he had built me my first 4x8 layout table in the basement. I was going nuts. He had a double loop with a figure 8 in the middle with a makeshift mountain. I was probably 6 at the time. I was then destined to like trains. I would be down there for hours. I remember one weekend my mom came down and was yelling at me for not being in bed yet, it was like 3AM. <br /> <br />this is a great thread sorry for dragging it out.....
