Reply to "Toy Train Time capsule reflecting on the last twenty-five years"

I came back to the hobby around 1995 and the most informative "time capsule" for me is the back issues of the hobby's magazines and company catalogs...which I am still culling through from issues dating from the late 1980s just to make room in my office, literally stacks piled on the floor. Great interviews with the respective leaders, the advertisements, product reviews, pros and cons of various technological features, etc. What I recall most is that Mike Wolf established an overseas connection with S. Korean company(s) early on, and this was the major game changer for the hobby as a whole.
