An oldie but a goodie

Got my first layout as an Xmas present in 1952. Blew the mind of an 8 year old boy living in Toronto. The Lionel rolling stock in their original boxes is probably worth a fortune now. No idea what happened to them.

Fast forward to the 1970s and a young Science teacher in northern Ontario was experimenting with my own design for transistorized throttles and HO block control. Sold it all and moved back to southern Ontario to get a Computer Science degree.

Fast forward to the 1990s and a large DCC layout in HO in a cottage on the campus of a private school. Retired and sold it all.

Fast forward to 2011 and retired in the tobacco country north of Lake Erie. Just bought Kato N Scale rolling stock and track. Here we go again.

First try at N Scale. Ain`t it great!

Where's my "Like" button? :thumbs_up:

 

Hi Bill, Welcome to the TrainBoard, we're glad that you're aboard. My evolution of scales is similar to yours, though my transition to N occurred in the early 80's. I'm very impressed with how N's technology and craftsmanship has evolved into today's market, and don't regret switching one bit.
