    Reminiscing-First Train Set

    I wish I had pics of my first. It was a cheap card table setup. I was maybe 5 or 6. It was the big Chrstmas present for my brother and me. I don't think it was HO, but it was too big to be N. My brother wanted it to go fast all the time, and the loco flew off the tracks several times, until...

    S-1 coupler conversion?

    I picked up an Atlas S-1 off of ebay recently. I had no idea that it had Hook/Horn couplers. Has anyone ever converted the couplers on one of these?
