I’ve always been fascinated by the steam era, there’s something magical about the sound of a steam locomotive chugging along the tracks. One of my prized pieces is a brass HO scale model of a 4-6-2 Pacific, it’s a beauty, and even though it’s a bit temperamental, I love running it on special occasions.
I’ve also been collecting vintage Lionel trains from the ’50s and ’60s, there’s a certain charm and nostalgia they bring, and the craftsmanship still amazes me.
Would love to see others’ collections or hear your stories about what got you hooked on historic railroading!
