Model Trains anyone?

Who else here likes or is into Model Trains?

I love model trains and always wanted to have a setup in my basement. When I was a kid, one of my uncles had a pretty awesome table setup, but I've never actually followed through with this hobby on my own.

Would be pretty awesome though! It's on my bucket list ;)

When I was a kid, I had a BRIO set. I couldn't get enough of it! I would build something, set it up, and not touch it until all landmarks and junctions were named and mapped. Awww, memories! :)

My Grandpa and I used to set up model trains in the dining room. It was so much fun and the train set had to have been from the early 60's.

Haven't done any model train related stuff in years, but the N scale train set in my basement still works. :D It's BIG

I had a huge table top train set complete with City, Suburbs, Mountains and a real River when I was a kid. I am not sure what happened to it. Me and my dad had tons of fun with it. Such memories.

I will have to get back into some day.

Cool didn't think there was much interest. Yeah I am in the planning stages of a new N Scale layout. I had to tear down my old one, when I got my new job as I needed the room for my home office. I model US and Japan, and I will try to get some photos up here in the future of my trains.

I had an N scale set when I was young. Although I realized early on that I had more fun putting together the building models and imagining the cityscape than actually running the train itself. Rearranging the grain silo and post office in relation to the houses and farms occupied way more of my time than bothering with the silly little train. My favorites were my little herd of cows that I used to have stampede down mainstreet after 'escaping' from the fenced off pasture!

We bought all this N scale stuff. Houses, stores, train, track, and quonset huts. We built this little town on a large piece of wood and even went to radio shack to buy lighting for the town. Oh and we bought lots of people, trash cans, dumpsters. But somehow we didn't finish and it sits in the basement collecting dust and cobwebs. I was actually looking at it the other night and I want to finish our little town.

i'm waiting for my 70 part series model starships...
sighs, this is gonna cost a bomb -.-"

Thank God for the model trains. If they didn't have the model trains, they wouldn't have gotten the idea for the big trains.
