I'm guessing most of us got our first model trains this time of year, so I thought it would be fun to start a thread about our very first model trains, and the ultimate fate of those trains.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, to disappoint.Never received for first train as a child as a wrapped Christmas gift.(see below)..My dad was a modeler so,I ran his two rail O Scale
I have received Christmas money that I spent at Woolworth's and Halls hobby shop on trains but,until I was married there wasn't nary a train unwrapped on Christmas morn. My wife got me a Model Power RS11 for our first Christmas..I still have it safely tucked away and that remains the only train received as a wrapped Christmas gift.
Guys,off topic but,I would like to share the reason I usually got cash.
I was a hard child to buy for so,my family gave cash which usually totaled around $90.00.
A tidy sum of cash to spend on model trains every 26th day of December.
