What got me started back up in mid 80's was Kiddie City in Fredrick Md. Right along Rt.40. We went there for the kids toys at Christmas. I walked past a Kline coke car. I looked it over and my memory went back to the late 50's early 60's. We would visit friends of my parents in Herminie Pa. Their son had Lionel trains under the tree. From looking at that Coke car I remembered the white milk car with the man bringing out the cans under his tree. And before I knew it I was smelling the smoke of the engine and the smell of icicles on the track. I wondered if I could find a milk car anymore. See I had been away from trains for a long time. I found a hobby shop in Thurmont Md. I drove there one Saturday which would be the beginning of dozens of trips. I left that day with my milk car, track, and a ZW. As they say it's been downhill since. Thanks for letting me share. Dave
