family gathered this weekend for the baptism of my youngest grandson. his brother, will be 2 in march, and my granddaughter, 2 1/2, had their first exposure to the layout. both loved it and repeatedly (and successfully) asked for trips upstairs during their time here. not only did they appreciate it, they were extremely well-behaved and followed instructions as to buttons to push, etc. very satisfying.

Grandchildren make it even more fun. Both of mine (6 and 3) operate the handhelds on my layout (gave them DCS this past Christmas). My daughter passed on her daugher's comment last year when she failed on her plastic trains (with plastic battery controllers) to run multiple trains simultaneously with "Grandpop can run 3 trains on a loop and I can not even run 2". Priceless so she got another Proto 2 engine so she ran two on her Christmas loop this year from me.

This is the future of Modeling Trains.
