Where did your love of trains come from ?

Thought id throw this one in. My earliest recollections are listening to the Class 37s here in the Uk in my bed listening to them close by passing my house in the late 60s/70s with the night mail train,on the West Coast main line.(The TPO) Loved the sound of the class 37s! Also remember as a child reading the original Thomas books from our local library. I was then lucky enough later in life around 2005/6 to work on board here in the UK as a CSA,a customer service assistant on board GNER which again was absolutely fantastic! My love of trains has always been there !
