Why go to Disneyland, when there’s places like Walthers to visit?!  Here I am riding on my mom’s shoulders at the original Walthers’ home offices in Milwaukee in 1968.

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 train market. My train layout in those days was packed with offerings from AHM, Athearn, Atlas, 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. 
 
Thanks for visiting and stop by again in the near future, there’s always something new to see!
