My first RR experience was with my big brothers Lionel trains. I was given an HO Varney set for my first trains as they "took up less space". I wish I still had that first set. It was a Santé Fe A & B unit, B & M box car, UP Cattle Car, Sinclair tanker, Swift Reefer, a Hopper car, gondola and a Sante Fe Caboose.
