Tobbe, Tobbe....
In August 2000 me and my SO was in Billund, and we bought our first 4561 at
an auction there, for DKK 610. Already then did my housebound say: "We can
afford one train, but not the consequences of starting to collect trains".
By Christmas 2000 we already had one 4565 and a 4560 to go with the first
one, and for the last two years we've bought almost all the second hand
trains we've found, and got S@H-parcels with trains from both Germany and
USA... We now own something like 10 full train sets, plenty of extra rail, 4
extra motors – and even if we bought a 3 story row house when we got a
bigger place, we need to use the church hall to get most of our train-tracks up!
Welcome to the addiction of trains!
