Hey all, my name is Chris and would like to say what an awesome site! Tons of good info here. My model railroading habit started when i was a kid, when my dad bought me the Rock Island set from Tyco. We would go to all the local places like walmart and otasco and pick out new box cars and locos and had alot of fun together with the set. As many others here have said, the set got put away as I grew older. Now that I'm grown and have a son of my own, I see him get excited when the local UP goes by and watching Thomas, etc. It made me decide to get my old sets back out. So i'm at it on Ebay and the local fleas trying to see whats out there...lol Heck, even my dad's interest is rekindled. He's into the postwar Lionels. Once again, thanks for having me!!!
