Collecting toy trains

[Thefile]

I collect old and new toy trains, my father bought me my first train set at age seven, I am now 74 and still going strong. I took one room on the second floor of my house and build a train layout wall to wall.

Welcome from the Show-Me-State, Thefile!

Looking forward to some photos of your wall-to-wall train layout. When I was very young, my Dad built for us kids a train track set up, which was l-shaped along two basement walls. Lots of fun and good memories.

BTW, do you own any Henrys or other firearms? Always glad to hear about other Folks' hobbies and interests.
And because of your signature comment, are you a Veteran, too? If so, appreciate your service.

To start I am a Veteran,
As soon as I learn how to post pictures I will include some of my train layout.
I recently ordered a Browning Buckmark UDX, when I pick it up I am going to order a Henry Big Boy in 44 mag. That would be my only Henry.
I do have a nice gun collection, my favorite are the Ruger Blackhawk’s.
I use to belong to SASS but quit back in the late 70’s because of two shoulder surgery's, since then I had two more, I ended up selling my more powerful rifles.

Pictures are always welcome!

I don't collect. But I do have a couple train sets. My first is a Lionel my parents got me when I was probably 8 or 9. Out of college while working my first job I got interested in HO scale. Created a landscaped layout 5'x10'. Later sold the layout when I moved. Still have both train sets. Sometimes get them out for Christmas for a simple layout around the Christmas tree.

Anyway, welcome from the TV Oregon!

I have this one. My dad bought it for me back in 1960. Christmas. Still in box, still runs. It ran hundreds of miles and was held up countless times by toy cowboys...
