I was born in Memphis, TN. Currently living in Oklahoma. Most young children slept with a stuffed animal in bed, I slept best with an American Flyer #302 Atlantic. Now I enjoy all sizes of trains, but the best scale is 12" to the foot. I don't have the luxury of a Local Hobby Shop, or even any regular freight service through our town. 3-4 times a week is all that the SK&O comes through, usually around 3AM
