QUOTE: Originally posted by BSDtrain If youv'e seen my previous post on my grandfathers old trains, you already know that I know absolutely nothing about model trains, but I am interested in learning. It seems it might require alot of work and converting to get my grandfathers trains from the 40s & 50s to work today, so I guess I will try my hand with a new set. But this is where the questions abound. First off, I guess the best place to start would be a iss of Model railroader as I have seen suggested in another thread, but in the meantime, maybe the people here can help. I am looking for HO scale from a reliable co. whos engines hold their value over time, I'd like to give to my grandkids like mine did to me. Does anyone have suggestions, and places to look on the inetrnet whila I am work? Also does anyone make a HO size late 1930s-40s Milwaukee Road Hiawatha? Thanks BSD
