Model Railroad memorys. My First H.O layout. Febuary 1986.

This is one of the first photographs I had taken after deciding to get involved in 1/87 H.O Scale Model Railroading back in Febuary of 1986. Believe Me...It was a Trial and Error learning experience all the way for Me.
My first layout was basically a loop of track on a 4' x 4' board made of pressed composite wood.
( Not a good choice. Pressed wood easilly breaks.)

My rolling stock was a Mix of Athearn, Bachman, and used Tyco cars with both truck mounted and body mounted Horn Hook plastic couplers.
I bought that old Tyco Caboose for about a Dollar at a local hobby store, and just couldn't resist adding those tall 1971 Era Norfolk & Western Railroad NW markings. The real N&W had a fleet of simular cabooses acquired from the 1964 merger with the Wabash Railroad. I have built and operated several small layouts since.
