My Mom and Dad like trains, my Grampa had a HO layout which was used so much that by the time he gave it to me it hardly worked. But when I was 8 my dad and Grampa gave me a Lionel starter set. I kept getting more track (even Louis Marx track) and cars after that. Suddenly my starter engine was to weak to pull all my cars at once, so we got a super-power GT GP-9 which in turn needed a big transformer. Then I got the HO, but it was in bad shape. I put the trains away for awhile, and just helped build my Grampa's new Garden Railway in California. I got my Lionel out again just last week and made a small layout in my bedroom. That in brief is the history of my model railroading. But I am interested in full size trains too. I have been round-trip cross-country by train 6 times. My Dad hates planes. We like trains, so there you have it.
