Welcome to our site. Our family have been active train collectors for over 25 years and from a very young age all the family kids were taught about trains. Trains have been and continue to be a family passion. Our family has continued to grow and be blessed with the addition of three little boys who can't seem to get enough of the trains. As a child, my dad never had a train to call his own. Luckily for our dad, he married a wonderful and understanding woman who supported him in his childhood dream of having trains for his own children and grandchildren . Sam's vision of having a few trains grew into a passion and he became very active in the local Toy Train Operating Society - Southwestern Division, train club were he eventually became President. His greatest joy however came from watching the children and adults delight in the magic of trains. He always encouraged others to join one of the many train clubs that gathered across the country on a monthly basis so that they too could become involved in the world of trains. Today, our family continues his legacy by spreading the joy of train collecting to as a many people as possible.
