About The Author

Growing up in the 1970s, I was lucky to have been the right age to enjoy the many companies that entered and in many cases quickly exited the HO-scale trains market. My train layout in those days was packed with offerings from AHM, Athearn, Atlas, AT&T, Bachmann, Cox, Like-Like, Lionel-HO, Pemco, Revell and of course TYCO...and today decades later I still enjoy a look through those company's old catalogs and owning their products.

In 2000, I noticed that there was no site devoted to TYCO's line of trains and I was surprised and thought such a site would be enjoyed by many. Years later, the TYCO site is one of many I maintain and continually expand and enhance. My sites received thousands of visitors each day, proving that there are a great many other folks out there with an interest in older ready-to-run trains.

Thanks for visiting my American, Train & Track site and stop by again in the near future, there's always something new to see!

If you haven't guessed, that's me on the right. I'm standing next to the Jerseyville, Illinois Gulf, Mobile & Ohio depot. The date is October 1970.
