A boy and a train...nice story

Great story. I read it yesterday and wanted to post it here but then couldn't find it again. Thanks for posting it Allan. Don

Well done, Lego. First class.

The story of the season without a doubt.

Thanks,, Allan !

I met a child at a train show in Denver that was mentally challenged.  He was a genius at making unconventional Lego creations.  He had a very large Lego train display with very unique action accessories that he designed himself.  His parents told me how he had assisted Lego in making a large display for them several years ago.

That's a truly great story and everyone involved deserves congratulations.

One thing:  I have no idea what the letter from Lego said because someone felt it was necessary to add a music track to the background.

Come on, people, take pity on us old timers with hearing problems.  The music (and most other background noise) just turns everything into garble.

Thanks for sharing Allan. I have quite a few friends that have children with Autism and I am amazed at the determination and will power of these inteligent loving children. This story just warms my heart, and its so great to see there are some good companies left in cruel "corporate america".

Awesome story!  Makes me feel a lot better about all the money I have dumped into Legos for my son over the years!

Thanks for sharring.

Thank's Allan, a great Christmas read. It says alot about Lego and what a great product they make.

My son grew up with their kits trains, boats and rocket ships. He still has all of them inventoried and labled with each section of the kits in zip lock bags..

We took him to a toy show at the Pennsylvania Convention Center about ten years ago and we where amazed at the size and scope of the Lego layout an adult club built.

What I liked about the Lego sets was that Mike would mix and match parts from each kit to build his own concepts of engines or what ever.

That was a beautiful story. Thanks for posting
