My first Tyco train set was the Santa Fe passenger set in 1973.
Long gone but I have duplicates to replace them. No set box.

My first HO train set (held in common with my brothers) was a Tyco set with the plastic bodied Shifter, lettered for the Pennsylvania, a streamlined caboose, also Pennsy. There was a Swift refrigerator car, a Boston and Maine coal hopper car, and a dumping log car. We also had an oval of track with two switches so that at one end of the oval there were two side-by-side curves. That was for Christmas. The next Christmas, we got a Tyco Pacific and three Roundhouse models of wood passenger and mail cars.

Over the years, equipment came and went and some of that original stuff is still running on my layout today, alongside newer Athearn, Roundhouse, Accurail, etc. equipment. It may have been a toy trainset, but the equipment was credible enough to run alongside stuff made more for the adult model market.

Carpe Manana!

Given to me as a joke, by a model rail buddy who is a rivet counter, about ten years
ago. Hah. Hah. Hah. It took off shortly after that.

Without getting into the long, boring story, I divide my attention between OO and Tyco HO,
though not with the superlative efforts of RP. A video here shares some of my views
on model railroading.

Very few modelers do what RP, Erik, and Blax are up to. RP has a certain angle, that is
very well done, but only Blax and Erik do story boards. There are a few out there, but
I only see them as one offs.
