When I was a kid, my Dad bought a Lionel train set for me. I still have it. He made a huge track upstairs that took up a whole wall. When we weren't playing with it, it folded back up into the wall. It was complete with paper mache tunnels, painted lakes, etc. I still have the trains and won't ever part with em, but the other stuff was too big to move, so it stayed with the house when we moved to Az. My Mom painted a Christmas village and I set the train up to run around her village the last Christmas she was still with us. Awesome memories.
