Hooked me at a young age... | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

So I know it's no great shock that a little boy digs trains. But not all get to be cover models for a "major" publication.

I'm visiting my folks in North Alabama for Thanksgiving, and my mom's reminiscing turned to old photos. She busted out these gems, so I thought it would be fun to share...at least for a laugh. The photos were taken in 1984, but it was published in '87.

Bet ya'll didn't know I am a celebrity.

That's a good call!

I wonder if any of the manufacturers made a 308 numbered Amtrak F40? That would be cool to get for the layout.

Very nice. Definitely part of the wall furnishings for a train room.
