Trains & Mechanical Music Enthusiasts
By Tyler J. Smith 

For what it's worth, here's another train nut.  In addition to a
Steinway Duo-Art grand and a Reproduco, I have lots and lots of prewar
toy trains (tinplate).  I built an HO scale layout about 25 years ago.
The obsession with detail got to me, in addition to my limitations as
a craftsman.  _Toy_ trains are liberating -- not very realistic, just
charming and fun.
