About 8yrs old. I helped my father with his old tyco ho silver and blue sharknose desiel . Every year at xmas help put up his 4x8 railroad under the tree. Trying to change things and reposition buildings on his layout,he finaly bought me for xmas my first ho train set. I built my own layout in the basement and kept it up all year round. when i recieved money , i would walk miles to the few hobby shops and could not wait to buy rolling stock ,buildings, switch tracks or model railroader and craftsman magazines. I would read the mags. from cover to cover 4 or 5 times.
I would constantly move track and buildings around and my dad would say" stop reading those books and finish one layout'. Som 46 years later iam at #? layout currently in construction
