Hi All
Influence is a on going aspect of our lives We are products of the information age
Media of all description has influence on our decisions in life and modeling
But what was your beginnings to the hobby
Someone said in a previous post that people often model or collect what they first were given as a present.
Following on from the post on Catalogs
I must admit , I really enjoy looking at catalogs
It is what started me in this hobby
My uncle gave me a 1962 Fleischmann catalog which I read about 1000 times
I had to choose between a Passenger Set and a Freight Set, I chose Freight
My New trains came with a brand new catalog , I still have it to this day (and the original trains)
The catalog is in good condition however the pages have yellowed a bit from much reading and dreaming!
I have since collected every Fleischmann HO catalog (apart from the 1952)
Obsessed? probably!
Regards Zmil
