I was a railfan by age 3 and became a model railroader when I grew tall enough to see the top of a table. I wanted to recreate what I saw in the prototype. This was during Lionel and Flyer's peak years and I always wore out their catalogs. In the last 50 years I've modeled in O, S, HO and N scales, and currently find S scale (not tinplate) the most rewarding. <br /> I think the biggest surprise in present day model railroading is the strong interest in steam locomotives by modelers who never saw steam in regular service.
