That is a lad playing with a toy train.  By himself, no one telling him how the train should look or where to stop it.  No track switches to complicate matters.  Just a kid playing with a toy.  Might be what Joshua thought of when he made toy trains.  No complicated track plans, no switching problems.  If it derails, put it back on the track.  John

Its all about having fun. I would say this young man is having a ball.
