| Postage Stamp Trains

Return to Chapter 2 |

Of all the material items I had in my youth, this perhaps stirs the strongest and fondest
memories, for it was with this wonderful train set that my destiny as a lifelong N Scale model
railroader was established. While slightly crude by today's standards, Aurora's Postage Stamp
trains are still venerated by many modelers; they well and truly set the gold standard for the
industry in 1967.
Recently purchased through eBay purely for the sake of nostalgia, amazingly this
set is unused—the inner containers are still sealed in cellophane. |
