Do you recall the moment your journey in model railroading began? If you’re like me, your interest was awakened about this time of year and arrived in a colorfully wrapped box. Inside were a locomotive, cars, track, and a power pack. An electric train. A plaything. A beginning.
My first set was an Aurora Postage Stamp Train in N scale, which the company called “Micro Gauge.” Made in Austria by Trix and imported by Long Island-based Aurora Plastics Corp., the sets were cleverly packaged in boxes that resembled hardcover books and were marketed to the general public rather than hobbyists.
The product line was initially popular but faded relatively quickly. It disappeared after 1973. Gone but not forgotten in
my case – I’ve never outgrown that gift. It was my introduction to this hobby. Postage Stamp Trains were a good product for the time, but are crude by today’s standards.
In the same way, my first layout was an oval of track with one siding nailed on green-painted plywood. I was 8 years old, and I thought it looked great! But over the decades each subsequent layout I built was a considerable improvement on the one it replaced. The next one I build will certainly be the best yet. The past was wonderful, but I don’t dwell on it. How can I, when better things are just around the corner?
