What kind of train did you start with

Although it was about 30 years in between my first and my current model trains, my first one was an American Flyer over/under figure eight freight set with the cardboard trestle pieces. The engine was a C&NW Baldwin diesel switcher with the forward/reverse switch on top of the hood. <br /> <br />My second train and my all-time favorite toy was a Marx "Train With a Brain" set. What a product that was! For those not familiar - it was a plastic, battery powered steam engine switcher with a couple of working freight cars and plastic track. There were cams on the ties and mechanical switches under the loco that caused it to change directions and run into spurs etc. I'd love to find another one someday...... :-)
