I used to have an HO scale model train set but was forced to tear it down a couple of years ago. It wasn't really that large or elaborate but it did a fantastic job of amusing me.

I think that doing the electrical work on my layout may have been a contributing factor for my interest in electronics.

Watch the Crewe loco works build a "Princess Royal" steam locomotive in the 1930's.
