By - By layout

You can be very creative when it comes to your "Carpet Central". The thing you must remember is to include your two boys. You can make it into a game where they have some input. The three of you can draw out track plans together, remember to keep it simple .

Keep the boys interested and happy, make sure you run some trains during the transition period.

 

Good luck with your new layout. Always and exciting time.

Best of luck with your new layout. Please keep us posted.

      Nothing wrong with upgrading your layout, keep the boys interested by having them help with the building of the new layout.  Some train running on the carpet sounds great also, as the building takes place.

Trial and error is one of the best ways to learn and running trains on the floor for a while will offer more opportunities for that type of learning experience than having a permanent layout. Sounds like the boys have a pretty good pa to give them all that time to have some creative learning.

My oldest has known this was coming but was very concerned that I was going to sell everything as I packed stuff up.  They are both excited to have the trains on the floor so they can see them more at their level, like the Christmas layout.  I also have a big surprise for them, their very own train set.  I've been waiting for a good time to give it to them and this is a good time to do it.
