Model Railroading Before the Age of the Internet

<p>I started my "career" as a model railroader over 50 years ago - decades before the invention of the Internet. Information was there, but not as easy to obtain as it is today. Magazines and books played a much bigger role, as did visits to local model railroad clubs. I still remember how eagerly I waited for the annual catalogues to arrive - just in time before Christmas. In the late 1960´s I was given a gift subscription of MR, which opened a whole new world of model railroading for me (and improved my English as a nice side effect). Lots of fond memories are attached to those days, although I am not saying they were better, just different.</p>
