Model Railroads & Trains on Ebay
Model railroads came about when I was looking for things to buy on Ebay and began to get some idea of just how popular model railroading has become. Prior to that my experience with model trains had been limited to our annual trips to the New Mexico state fair.
The fair has a model railroad building where the train collectors gather to show off their systems. It was always interesting to watch; especially since they put on the best show possible during the fair time. For those of you who don’t know, the New Mexico State Fair attendence is larger than the population of the entire state! It is a real popular event.
We never had space or money for model trains when I was growing up. I have vague memories of a 4′ x 4′ sheet of plywood with a single circular track, but nothing more.
