What kind of train did you start with

Twenty five years ago (boy has it really been that long) my son Steven was given at christmas by his grandparents a train set. It was a F7 CP loco with several cars, track, power pack - enough track to make up samll oval. We spent time together setting it up and once running Steve soon lost interest (he was more interested in slot cars at the time) but not I - I was hooked for life. I've been as stated above involved in the hobby for over twenty five years and looking forward to another twenty five years (The good Lord willing.) I've come a long way since that Tyco train set but you know what I wish I would have kept that loco as a reminder or those early years. Recently found the instruction booklet that went with that train set and it brought back a flood of happy memories. So a little bit of advice to you guys (and gals) starting out in model railroading - as you progress dont get rid of that very first locomotive - keep it as a reminder of your early skils and as you improuve within the hobby look back at it sometimes and see what a truly wonderful hobby model railroading is. <br /> Keep on trackin <br /> <br /> Rudy Montreal Canada
