Dad and my late Uncle Jim got me into trains with the trains at Christmas time. Dad only put his trains up at Christmas time, but not every year. Uncle Jim had a train board, set up at Christmas time, and I always looked forward to the Christmas visits to my Grandparents. And Uncle Jim always let me fire off the 6650 Missile car, and hit the 6448 Boxcar.
Dad passed his trains to me after I got married, and I inherited Uncle Jim's trains and platform when he passed.
