Posing another question about the hobby.

[Lester Perry]

I started when I was 2 years old and Santa claus / my father bought an American Flier for ME for Christmas. in the mid sixties I was about 9 or10 We couldn't find AF things. Or my dad told me that because of cost making it prohibitive. We used balsa wood to make ties and rails which we covered with aluminum foil for electric. I guess that would be good article for scratch building . At about that time he told me we would have to change to HO. I rebelled but was over ruled by Dad. I have built plenty of bridges but mostly Kits I would prefer kits but I am thankful for RTR as I can no longer put kits together.
