Just shortly after being born - at the age of 32 month - I saw
"my" first TRIX EXPRESS Model Train underneath our Xmas tree in 1961.
But this present wasn't actually destined for me.
But how should I have realized. Well - finally the years came where I was
allowed to play with that nice little 3-rail DC train for several years. And the
train disappeared again on the attic of our house. And was discovered again in
1986 - conditions as being "banned" in 1974.
By visiting second hand shops and flea markets I completed and even extended the initial stock. But just until our 1st child was due to be born - housing space was too small at that time - and all the train display had to be removed again. So I decided to concentrate on collecting the TRIX EXPRESS.
1998 - TRIX has ceased production of the EXPRESS series in 1995 - I changed the topic - collecting now Tin Toys produced by Johann Biller of Nuremberg.
Meanwhile I had
finished school, made a short "intermezzo"
as chemical assistant in a textile company and then went joining the German Air
Force. I retired in July 2014 - however still working part-time as a
freelance Air Traffic Controller on a Regional Airport 200 km north of Berlin.
