Reply to "Childhood train friends?"

As of 2023 I am 67 and growing up in the 60s I had a 16 X 5 layout with a small L on the one end and I was the only person in my neighborhood that had trains of any kind that I knew of, Once or twice a year I will connect with someone that I knew growing up, and they will always mention I remember your trains. I now have a permanent layout in my attic which is 12X8 with a 5 foot L. One of my cousins had a small layout in his basement for quite a few years growing up, and he's been to my house and loves what I have but he never did anything himself.
