Obviously, we all started somewhere. So what was your first foray into railways?
Mine was a Lima Motorail Express train set in the early 1990's. It was a Dutch liveried 26 (I believe) with an Intercity MK1, an Intercity GUV and motorail wagon with cars. Also included was a loading ramp. I remember the 26 having a Highland Westie on the side. It was probably purchased mainly for the play value, but looking back now I think I had pretty good taste in traction and it possibly subconsciously partly explains my fondness for Scottish railway modelling, despite being from West Yorkshire and having no Scottish connections!
