Scotie, is that you? Is that your brother, name please, thanks Don
That's me and my brother--I'm David and my brother is Douglas.
I was the most blessed boy in Weirton, WV.
Still am, in many, many ways.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Here's my dad putting together a Marx windup set. I was 3 years old at the time and have no recollection of that train. I do remember a Lionel set that I received when I was 7 years old I wish I had some photos of that.

Christmas 1972. My father, Frank Sr., nudges the train a bit while my brother, Frank Jr. mugs for the camera. You can see my hat brim and my hand on the orange cable reels just to the left of my Uncle's knee. Wish I still had that Marx Masterpieces Western Town!

Sometime around the early fifties. Thanks, Mom and Dad.
This is me next to my own layout in the basement of our house. Probably 1957.
Hey, Pennytrains, where's the picture of you. Don

I am liking all the Flyer pictures!
Christmas 1951 - 3 months before my 4th birthday. Can you believe that Santa brought me a ZW?

Ashland Ky I thought I was the only one from Ashland on here. LOL Small world. Do you belong to the Appalachian Model Railroad Society?
Thanks to Scale Rail for starting this terrific thread, and to all who posted photos and replies.
Regrettably, although I have all of the family LIONEL trains, Plasticville, LIONEL accessories, and etc. from the GREAT Postwar era of LIONEL, I have no photos--only very fond memories.
Thanks, again, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all.

I was born in West Virginia but Dad went to work for Ashland Oil soon after.....thus we were there for a number of years.
Not a member of the club but attend the Thanksgiving show when I can.
Steve, is the date 1990? Thanks Don
Dave, is that television a Trav-Ler? We had one like that.

Don if you mean mine, It's about 1964.
Neat thread Don! I'm loving these pics.
Here's me and my grandfather on New Year's Eve 1973. Looks like I'm receiving one of my very first lessons in the joy of model railroading.
Picture of my dad and I from around 1954 or 1955. Although you can't see them real good the trains were a Marx Army train and a couple of prewar American Flyers. I still have all these trains and they are set up on my layout.

What a delightful idea for a thread, Don. Every one of the photos is priceless.
Merry Christmas to you, too!

Now that's a dad with artistic vision! Great layout!

I'll have to look to see if there's anything else. Mom was a pretty bad photographer so most of them are out of focus (which I didn't think you could do with a point and shoot Kodak!).
Last call for Christmas Pictures before I start the edit of the Christmas Card Video. Will start December 14. Don
Can use just a few more pictures of your kids/you with Santa and or trains. Thanks Don
