My first model railway was a great train set bought for me one Christmas as a boy. It was a Hornby Royal Mail set with working mail despatch system and a Class 37 hauled train of coaches. This formed the basis of my first permanent railway set in my parents' garage. You can see a couple of photographs below. It was not up to much and the garage was not a good site for the layout being rather draughty and slowly rotting away. I did keep a layout here into my teens. I must see if i can find a few more photos.
