I have been collecting trains for 30 years and about 9 years ago sold off almost all of my LGB and Lionel and re-invested in more Porsche's. I had a pretty good collection but still collect HO. I have most of mine in boxes right now also but still go to train shows and take pictures all the time of 1:1.
Last winter I took Amtrack from Kentucky to California, well didnt quit make it to California, we ran into a snow storm in Reno, Nv. and the sister train coming from Sacramento derailed up on the mountain. At first they told us we were going to go on up the mountain and rescue the other passengers coming into Reno from the other direction. They decided againsts that and put us up in a Casino for the night and then bused us to Sacramento the next morning. I did get some cool pictures of some UP's in the snow with the lights on.
I take the train whenever I can. They have some really neat tours in West Virginia which is close to me but I haven't had time to do it since I have been back here.
