I'd be posting a photo of a borrowed O gauge outfit, with a whistle, that my dad borrowed from a friend so that I had something to run under the tree, on a white sheet to imitate snow, at Christmas since my Marx set went belly-up (anyone remember the cardboard girder bridges). The next year a new Lionel HO set and a hand-me down 4 X 8 platform sent me on a decade and a half long journey in HO. I still have the Marx transformer and most of the HO set. O gauge Lionel came back when my children came along. Yes, I blame them.....my wife doesn't buy it.
