Hornby Train Set Reminds Son-in-law of Childhood
My son-in-law is a collector of unique things. He loves having something special and interesting to display and discuss. When I asked him what he would like for Christmas, he said that he wanted a hornby train set. Why, I wondered would he want to start collecting trains. Joe responded that when he was a boy, he loved to listen to the lonely sound of the cargo trains passing through his mid-west home in the dark night hours. Now he wanted to recreate some of those memories by building his own station, track, and car collection. If this stirs up good memories for Joe, then I guess it will be a worthwhile gift.
