[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 63106, member: 10"] My family is big into trains, models, the real things you name it someone in my family is involved. My great uncle woudl build 1/4 scale steam locomotives and run them in a park outside of Baltimore. one of the locomotives he built is on display at the Smithsonian. My father is a well known (in train collector circles anyway) authorities on American Flyer model trains - he has a vat collection and has authored or co-authored a number of books about collecting these trains. Anyway, for my son's 1st Christmas i talked the Old Man into letting me set up a 1936 Standard Gauge American Flyer Passenger set. Spent all afternoon getting stuff assembled and stuff. everything is up an running and I think my son is impressed - he burped at it :roll: Oh Yeah - FishCop will be proud to know that this set of model trains was made in Chicago (this is before the company was bought by A.C. Gilbert (erector set guy) in 1928 and moved to New Haven Connecticut. The Tree will go in the middle of course [img]https://www.tinboats.net/forum/images/albums/userpics/MVC-027F.JPG[/img] [img]https://www.tinboats.net/forum/images/albums/userpics/MVC-023F.JPG[/img] [/QUOTE]
