I collect prewar and postwar toy trains from almost any manufacturer or country. I also have a very large collection of HO and layout for all my trains. I lot of them are on shelves since I don't have enough room for all of them on the layouts. I have hundreds of magazines about real and toy/model train, bith North American (mostly) and British. I'm not sure of the exact number, but I must have over 30 large, hardcover "coffee table" type train books. Keep in mind, however, that probably 95% of my model and toy trains and 50% of my books and magazines have been bought used. I have some videos, but not a lot. I do, however, tape every single episode of Tracks Ahead and any other train show that may be on. I've been cutting out and saving any newspaper article about trains or railroading I've found for several years. I also have a few boxes in the garage of rusty old spikes and simmilar items. I also have three railroad lanterns and other items. I suppose I just collect anything and everything that has to do with trains!

Memories of a time and place when SP Black Widow F7A/B ruled the Sunset Line in LA, and "Fruit Salad" PCC ran barefoot in the city streets, steamlined Hudsons, Henry J, and such. N scale model locos between '49-67, more recent current locos, P42, Superliners, a few of what I see today on the rails in IL.
Memories of current trains, pictures of what I can catch.
Die Cast PCC 1/50th, die cast streamlined cars. 1942, 1949 what fits the era in larger sizes, will be a small collection.
Growing credit card balance!
