When running was over and my parents said that I needed to do to bed, I would choose a car or locomotive to take to bed with me. I would set the car/loco on a piece of track on my dresser and stare at it before finally falling asleep. When I awoke the next morning, it was still there waiting for me and another day of railroading fun.
I really miss those days.
This is a fantastic thread loaded with great posts. The above from Brian being a real show-stealer.
Thanks All.

Thanks, Graz. I really appreciate your reply. I still do the same thing today with the difference being that the cars and locos got a little more expensive than an 027 starter set, but the magic and mystic have never gone away.
