Hello, I go by Mr.tyco which I am trying to live up to. I started playing with TYCo in 1964 when I got a set as a Christmas present. It was fun cause it had a Santa Fe GP-20 and an operating hopper car with teestle accessory. Still I was basically a Lionel O scale kid and this set lost interest after the first traction tire blew off. Fast forward to 1990's.. I have a nice Lionel train collection and decide to tinker in vintage HO since it was cheap at shows at then. Once I got a few TYCO pieces.. all the good memories came back and I decided to go for it. I have been collecting strong ever since and have more than I can display as most people. I concentrated on UNUSED train sets and I have many from 1955 all the way thru 1970's. My all time favorite is one from 1955 that includes 8 freights and TWO steam engines and retailed for $99.50 in that year. WOW is that a ton of money for the time.I got it from the original owner who set it up once. Now I collect the odd and RARE stuff and know quite alot about TYCO between 1954 and 1971.. willing to share info with members. Also collect Lionel HO, Gilbert HO and strong on REVELL HO see ya later

Hey Brian:
I actually posted that last year when Anatol sent it to me when we were corresponding about an ebay sale.
You could try anatol as a search or mr.tyco. Or if you're a masochist type Tyco in the search box!!!!![:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D]
