Like you, I have had a great love for trains for as long as I can remember. I received my first American Flyer train set at the early age of four, which meant my father played with it more that I did. Over the years, I received additional sets and accessories. However, the years past with college, marriage and kids, you know the drill. Railroading was put on the shelf for many of those years while other responsibilities took precedence. That brings us to the present, which is about as fast as life went. I decided, late in years, that I wanted to contribute to the hobby that I love.
