Model train people

[iCe]

If you are in the market for a model train, Micromark has what seems to be a good deal going. Micromark sells some really good quality small tools so I assume that the train sets are decent.

Appreciate the link, it is a good product and a great value as an introductory train set, especially for a younger person. It's frustrating for parents to shell out big bucks for true "model" trains only to find out that the receiver loses interest. (applicable to trains, cameras, guitars, etc....)

Often these toy trains sets do spark an interest that can last a lifetime (mine started when about 8-9, and altho it varies over the year, I still have an entire room (~200sf) devoted to that hobby.) In fact, the desire to improve my model skills led me to photography and into that black hole.....

fwiw, here's some of my model train work:

and yes, I probably used some various MicroMark tools in the process!
