Here's my two cents:
My dad had (and still has) a Lionel Berk set. He never rain it but I would sometimes pull it out of its crate and look at it. My grandma had a Marx set that once belonged to my uncles. My sister and I loved to set it up and zoom it on the track as fast as we could get it to go. Fun stuff.


My dad and I built an HO set when I was about 5 years old (aside from christmass battery operated christmas trains.) We had trains on and off, when I became somewhat of and adult of limited means I started in N, but always wanted to venture outside.
