Nyman's business pays for itself and it allows him to keep his hobby, but it is not profitable as of yet. His business grew out of what any train hobbyist does, and that is to trade pieces or sell pieces that you've lost interest in. There are even stainless steel trains and tracks which can be run outside and through a garden. Nyman wants to help beginners not repeat mistakes others have made. In the real world of trains, Nyman says, the biggest change is that they are more efficient than they used to be fifty years ago.
Trains run with three times the tonnage and with one third of the personnel.
He said there is an efficiency of a steel wheel on a steel track that is unmatched. Maybe part of the reason for our fascination of trains is their power and efficiency. But Nyman said he has always liked trains and that they are fun. He said it can usually take the abuse of children tossing it around. Customers should not overlook the new lines on the market because the five year warranties on some trains cannot be beat.
