Hello all,
Like most children of the late 1970's, I started off with a Tyco set. In my case, it was the Silver Streak. Got rid of it and the rest of my HO years ago, but I'd like to get back into collecting the "vintage" stuff.
I'm currently modeling T Gauge (1:450 scale), and living in a one bedroom apartment, but there's a part of me that misses the smell of PT Ozone :D
Regards,
Dan M

I still have the complete Silver Streak set I got in 1979.
Welcome!

T
so, uh, you could post a "T" scale Time Table on that letter "T" by itself, eh?
"That's not a sugar cube! That's an ice refer!"
Then again, a "T" scale ice block could be taken with a grain of salt... er, literally & figuratively!
N T Z... it's mussing a "U"... as in, ARE YOU NUTZ!?"
no comment... John
I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
