Nice pics 33lima. I loved HO railroading from about 9 to 13 years old, and my setup covered our ping pong table during those years. I bought the book, HO Railroad That Grows if I remember correctly and built my rail road from that blueprint plan included in the book. I had a mountain with 2 tunnels that I constructed from hydrocal and plaster, a sawmill, a freight station and a spur that emerged from one of the tunnels that was to be occupied by a mining building which I never finished assembling. I still have the freight building in my basement and the half finished mine building in a box in the closet. There is definitely a love of trains still in my heart. Maybe someday I will revert back to HO modeling. Thanks for the spark to start a little trip down memory lane.
That is a great story Blade! Thank-you for sharing that! I also have a very deep affection for trains. We'll get into that later but, thanks 33lima! Those pics are awesome! You always beat me to the punch!
