Mine was the size of a table tennis table, it's not any more 

[albitz]

I never had one when I was a boy. I desperately wanted one but it never materialised. I got one about 20 years ago, it is quite a big one (O gauge) but I have never used it. It has sat gathering dust in the loft since shortly after its arrival.

But for your benefit maria ( as you seem to have a 1 track mind these days)

When I was a boy it was quite small, it got played with quite a lot as a baby as it was a novelty value learing sort of thing.

As I grew older the novelty wore off and it lay dormant a few years.

Then as I became a teenager I started to play with it more and more, and as the the size of it develped then scenery was added as time went by to enhance scenery.

After a while it's potentential was reached and it could grow no more.  I often played with it a few times a day untill I got bored.  Then as I learnt more about and got to know how to get more out of it so then it got used for excessive periods of time.  I actually became quite experianced at using it.

As word got out about it;s size then more people wanted to have a go with it driving it in and out of the tunnels and through the bushes , inbetween the montains, oh so much fun in those days.

Now it stays all wrapped up cosy and warm, well whats left of it any way, and now only comes out for inspection one in a while, or on very special occasions when I have a vistor.

My God, it was actually quite big,








Oh I do miss my train set.
It would condece into a multple track layout the size of an omega, or stetch to a double garage size quite easily.
