My first train set was an American Flyer HO New York Central 4-6-4 Hudson with about 6 freight cars. Man, that train was bullet-proof! Talk about used and abused! I got it when I was about 8 and it got handed down to my nephew when I was 18. The smoke unit and "chug" sounds still worked perfectly. I know it lasted for years after that until my nephew sold it to a friend of his years later. <br /> <br />I can't begin to imagine how many hours run time it had on it while I had it, had to be in the hundreds of hours, especially during the winter. It was the only train on my 4x8 layout, so it got lots of use. <br /> <br />I thought it was really realistic at the time.
