I had some Lionel, and Marx HO. I remember being so frustrated with my Marx 0-40 steamer that I smashed it with a baseball bat. I learned thought trial and error, and my dad, who was a good mechanic, to fix things. My experience with model trains was instrumental in my career in electronics. I became a Development Engineer Sr, at a research center. In my hobbyt, spend much time re-motoring, re-gearing, adding decoders and sound, and have built many kits, including a G-Scale live steamer. I also build some of my own operating accessories.
