Wow, what a thread!
What got me into trains?
I vaguely remember as a 3-4 year old sitting on the coal bunker at my paternal Grandma's house in Ambergate looking down at the trains passing by on the Derby to Chesterfield line, there was also a pre-war Hornby catologue in the attic which I must have read the print off!! Evidently my father was not into trains.
Also my maternal Grandma, who lived in Derby on Uttoxeter Old Road, would take me to the bridge overlooking Friargate Goods shed so I could watch the trains..........it kept me happy.....and cheaply..no PS3's then!!
Then my dad received some Hornby-Dublo in receipt of payment for some work he did........... I found it!!.......Wish I still had it!!
But really I don't know why trains fascinate me.....
THEY JUST DO!! MUST THERE BE A REASON???????
