I'm 60, but in my early teens I had a mid size layout I was building from a starter Tyco steam set with a Santa Fe 0-6-0 switcher with a sloped back tender.
Typical, with entering the work force, women and other interests ended with the dismantlement of the layout to free up space in my parents basement. Back then, it was brass track and always had electrical contact problems. About 20 years ago, right after I got married I was going through all of my stored stuff at my parents and I ended up selling it all for $100. I should have gotten a lot more, but over the years some damage occurred on most of the buildings and some of the rolling stock.
Anyway, what ever happened to Tyco? I have tried searching and it appears they jump out of the hobby some time ago?
