I'll throw my 2 cents in: I've been there and back with trains, Lionel O set as a little boy, then HO, then Lionel postwar, a 100% super O layout by means of a very large neighborhood buy in 1968, then back to HO, then pulling out most of the same Lionel Postwar 30 years later (and getting it all working well again), and then standard gauge, which has become a bit of an obsession over the past 5 years. The Standard Gauge Module Association and folks like Arno Baars really kindled my enthusiasm for almost all things standard gauge, Arno was also the impetus for me reproducing the Lee Lines GS4 Daylight and their passenger cars in STD, and later picking up the Harmon Challenger, passengers cars and my own design PRR GG1.
