<p>My older brother wouldn´t let me play with his trains, so one fine Christmas santa brought me my own Marklin starter set and a kit for a depot as well! That was back in 1963 and I was a lad of 7 then. The depot I still have - it was assembled the same day! The Marklin trains, to which each year an addition was made fro Christmas and birthday, are long gone now, but the hobby stuck over all those more than 50 years now. OK, I have dabbled with plastic airplanes and ships, but that didn´t last long. At the age of 11, I finally got to the place to build a small layout.</p> <p>Model railroading was done during Winter or when the weather was bad. As soon as it was dry or sunny, I was outside and out of sight of my parents. Miraculously, I always made it home on time for the meals - without a watch!</p>
