I started collecting seriously some 45+ years ago. I bought trains because I liked them and did buy and sell, but without the view of possibly making a net gain. I amassed (collected) toy trains and, over the years, refined as to what I wanted to have in the collection. My tastes and also my pocket book, define what I'll purchase.
Three children and seven grand kids have run whatever was on the floor layouts without restrictions. Just remembering that kids are kids and LOVE speed so only put those on the track that I wouldn't worry about getting another nick. Got two great-grandsons that I have to now infect.
