I have had toy train layouts of postwar era plus O scale (2rail) layouts, complete with scale buildings, figures, diecast cars and fine details of everything I could scratchbuild ( but certainly Not a rivet counter). As I am a child of the 50's heritage. I discovered a latent desire to make my PW type rebuilt layout more toy like in it's enjoyment. Simplicity of the colorful plastic production era just brings back a sense of play that I had tucked away in my psyche. So, I remember the few plasticville structures and a couple of plastic vehicles I played with and wore out 60 years ago. After attending the Westchester toy and Train Show this year i had this awakening. I am now thinking I can mix sizes of several makes of vehicles. I was so scale size conscious in my past! I found that I really Like colorful toy vehicles! Funny how the pendulum swings back after many decades, I feel fortunate to enjoy a more flexible mixture. I must mention that many forum members photos and videos have influenced the possible mix and match toys concept. Lol.
Anyone have a similar transition of interests?
Best of everything to you for 2019.
