I am certain several of you can top this. Not a picture of the actual train, but of the board that Santa put up for my sister and me....though I am pretty sure it was the old man, and it was mainly for the old man!
I was born in 1947, so this is probably when I was 3, about 1951. I know many of us still have our original trains from back then (I have the 1947 GG1 and the 225E from then) .....so, who has a picture of a layout from back in those days? How early can we go? I have seen some early pictures on here.
The board is done in snow, and every board I have ever put up for Christmas since then, has been done in snow scenes. I still have those visible accessories, and a couple of the dime store, cardboard houses, on the 2024 layout!
Go for it, Greg
