Reply to "Did your Dad get you into this hobby?"

That's for sure! He's holding the camera. I'm doing minor "layout detail work" , and my mother, who helped him craft those houses, considered the layout also hers, of course, is off-camera saying, "Move out of there, Frankie."  But I wasn't moving, obviously.

Mom & Dad's Christmas layout

I would not have know about model/toy trains except for this layout, having had hundreds of other toys, esp. cars & trucks, to play with. This layout shown here was not my playpen. It was only a Christmas special treat and got removed from the dining room after New Years.

I esp. enjoyed laying flat on my back under it, behind that brick-paper skirting, looking upward and listening, when my father ran the trains. I also liked pretending I was "running things". He would let me dump that load of sticks in the dumper-car, and then go and retrieve them for the next re-load.Christmas layout
