What kind of train did you start with

I received a Tyco HO Scale set from Santa in 1969 when I was five. I know that is when I got it because it was before we moved North and I started elementary school. Since I was five, my mom and her brother set it up on a 4 x 8 sheet for me. My mom built a whole city of houses and I still recognize many of them in the Walther's Catalog. The track consisted of a loop with 18 in. radius curves and one siding about thirty six inches long made from a single piece of flex track. After we moved North, we never set up the train again. <br /> <br />I got the railroad bug when I decided to give my father-in-law a Bachman set for Christmas. I set it all up but replaced the steel(!?) track with nickel silver. After I got it set up for him I learned alot about model railroading. I bought many books, subscribed to MR magazine and recently joined the NMRA. <br /> <br />Now I am waiting to buy that BWAHOI and put my plans in motion. - Ed
