It was Christmas 1963, when this 7-year old got his first train set. It was one of those infamous Marklin HO scale starter sets with a fantasy 0-6-0, two tinplate fourwheeler passenger cars, an oval of tinplate track and a powerpack. The set was acoompanied by a Faller kit of a little train station, which I assembled at that very day. I still have it (in fact, the only thing that survived those 52 years since then). <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1100225_zps0khpnw4a.jpg" alt=" " /> Each year saw an addition to this frugal beginning, be it more track, rolling stock or a new loco. Life was good then! Over those 5 decades I have built a number of layouts, but I have never enjoyed them as much as I did that simple oval of track set up on the family´s dining table for a few hours (it had to be cleared for the meals...)!
