Definitely a creative way to involve kids! 
And IMHO, involving kids is a great way to plant the seeds that may grow into the future of the hobby.

Looks like you just had your first operating session! I guarantee that many years from now he'll remember these sessions with fondness when he does the same with his kids and grandkids.

You have found "operatons"!
And your way is not real "lite" either.
As an option, add some stub end sidings and have some cards require you drop off and pick up differnt cars - - Move the Giraffe car from on siding to the town for a circus?
Fantastic.
Hey Bill
This sounds like it would be great. Why not write it out in some type of book format and publish it. You can do it yourself, don't need an big name to sponsor you like Lionel, MTH, etc.
