One of the things I love most about this hobby is the history behind it — not just of the real railroads, but of the models themselves! From early tinplate trains to brass masterpieces and today’s high-tech DCC locos, there’s so much evolution packed into our collections.
I’d love to hear:
How did you first get interested in the history of model trains?
Do you have a favorite era or manufacturer you enjoy researching?
Have you ever restored or collected vintage pieces?
