Having been started in a love of trains by my father during world war two with homemade train made of scrap wood, thread spools and buttons it's hard to remember exactly when I got started . It was then the usual graduation through Marx, Lionel and several other brands of tinplate before a friend and his brother introduced me to HO trains. My first kits were a Globe silver Rock Island boxcar and a Mantua B&O gondola, shortly after that Athearn came out with their line of inexpensive plastic kits and every Nickel I made at various part time jobs went into buying them and the soon to follow plastic F7s. I wish we had some of the fine running equipment of today back then. Todays modeler don't know how great they have it. <br />Walter E. Kulpa Newton, Iowa
