Look up the term "compulsive collector" in the dictionary and you'll find me. Beginning in the early 1990s, I made regular visits to just about every train store in North Texas and around the state looking for stuff. And I found it. Lots of it. Great Northern and the Hill Lines were my first love. H.O. scale, N scale, some brass. But I quickly branched out. I have more than 2,000 Micro-Trains N scale cars and about 1,000 Kadee H.O. cars. A long business trip to Japan aroused my interest in Japanese railroads. I have many Kato N scale Japanese passenger sets and engines. Kato, Kadee and M-T all make good stuff. I also have several hundred beer cars in H.O. and N, including more than 40 different from Show Me Lines. Tin Whistle anyone? The collection has been carefully -- air conditioned -- stored all these years. Some models have been on display, in cases, in my train room. Most everything is NIB and never run. . .and looking for good, new homes.
