Who's a train collector here.

I have a Lifelike HO scale set, thats the engine that I have. Still collecting more stuff, someday I'd like to have a small city.

Its an expensive hobby, I've probably spend over $2k since I started in '93.

I've got about 20 locomotives and 250 pieces of rolling stock, also several hundred feet of track, and about 50 various turnouts. Not to mention about 50 buildings, and numerous books. Still have a Fleischmann 4 car crane set that I got in 1959, in Germany as a kid (9th birthday present). I am looking to sell some of my stuff, a lot of the buildings and engines don't fit into what I am modeling (waterfront in the 50's).
