A "first train" I do wish I had was a Marklin steam engine/cars in HO. Horne's in Pgh. was selling them and my wife wanted a Xmas train. This was 1962. Each year I added track, cars and switches until we had a nice layout. It even survived our house fire in 1985. Nice running train, really liked it. I made a big mistake giving it to my younger son who somehow managed to lose it. I think in one of his divorce moves. That Marklin was a nice train, I would like another.
