Earliest memories, age 3 or so, are of Lionel set up in the bunk house on our ranch in NV. After a few moves ended up in Visalia, Ca with Lionel on back porch for us, 4 boys. Dad sold Lionel and moved to HO when I was 10 or 11 and that was end of it as was too fragile for us to use. Eqp eventually ended up in storage, then sold many many years later. <br /> <br />Fast fwd to abt 1972, Dad got 2 of the 1st LGB starter sets in CA, 1 ea frt and pax, my son still has them. I got a frt starter set in 1995 and have added much rolling stock since then, all LGB or Toytrain. Now live in Dallas, TX area and have loop inside my 12 x 24 ft barn. Grandkids are 5 & 7 and we're going outside next spring. I never did anything with trains in the interim as was in the USCG and moved often. <br /> <br />I'm staying with all LGB 2 axel eqp as it's easier for the gkids to use and put back on track. My son-in-law and I plan on putting ohead train in grandsons room in Jan or Feb. <br /> <br />SM
