Reply to "What other Hobbies did you get in and Dump?"

Guys,

I suppose I've been into a lot of stuff but when I was 10 one Christmas I got a new train set of American Flyers then just as quickly it disappeared into the attic once Christmas was over and when I asked about next Christmas my Dad didn"t bring it down, because he said that my brother and sister were breaking them and he wanted to save them for when I was older and could appreciate them.

Some of my hobbies were collecting comic books and Topps Baseball cards (the kind with buble gum) then later I collected model cars and built airplanes.

Much later, I got into O gauge trains again (after an absence of 40 odd years) and I have been into it ever since luckily my old hobby didn't die just because my interest waned.

PS. I must say it was due to this forum and the many discussions of the mayhem of York that has kept me interested, thanks guys!!! I hope your holidays were festive I for one am glad that spring has finally sprung in the northeast.
