In the beginning,,,,,,,

Christmas, 1965 I was a tyke of 4 but I had my 1st train set! Set up on a plywood base, these Lionel FA's spent many hours running and addicting me to the hobby. These were retired but kept in storage as later Athearn,Atlas,Stewart, and Kato products held the mainline, but the were always missed. The old rubber band drivelines were shot! A few years ago the entire chassis were swapped out for Walthers FA chassis, and now they are back in the game.
Oh, and thanks Dad!
