My dad did, yes. I found and played with his Marx 999 & 666 steamers and cars along with the AF596 water tower and Lionel #85 telegraph posts. All those trains lived a hard life with me as a youngster and frankly did not survive very well. I killed Tonka trucks as well... anyway that was my start. Next came a Lionel DT&I switcher set in 1972 along with some Athearn HO trains in the same year. I still have most all of it.
