  2. Great issue ! It is nice showing different toy train companies and gauges!I have been surrounded by trains all my life,Real Trains,HO Gauge, O Gauge, S gauge,Wide Gauge, Lionel, Marx , Chicago American Flyer and Gilbert American Flyer.I received a Lionel train set in December of 1948 a day after I was born.My Dad started building our first permanent Christmas morning 1959 when I received a Lionel General train set.I enjoy reading about the different gauges.
