Perhaps the options for the survey should include Lionel trains, as many model railroaders credit their exposure to these trains as youngsters with starting them in the hobby. I started with a used Louis Marx 027 train set that I traded from one of my school mates. Hauled it home on the bus in a shopping bag. I got a piece of 4' square hardboard and fastened the loop of track to this. This basic setup grew to two 4'by 8' tables and a few extensions in the cold damp basement of my parents' home. I later sold off all of the 027 stuff and swtiched to HO scale. It's been down hill ever since! There are a few photos of my early efforts on my website, under "history". Bob Boudreau
