Trains. My Grandfather used to do quite a bit of
traveling after he
retired (delivering automobiles I believe). Whatever he saw a model
store, he'd pop in and buy a few cars or an engine or two. He never put
them together or told my Grandma about it. When he was dying of cancer he
gave them to me. I've gone through some of them.. must be about 15 N-scale
engines, 100+ cars, plus all the Lionel stuff I haven't gone through yet.
Also lots of buildings and little people.
Oh, and to keep this semi-on topic: Every times I typed the word "cars"
I automatically typed "card" the first time ;)
