Trains were made for little boys

Great video. No need to apologize for video quality. You got the looks on the boys faces, that makes it great. Tstark . This beats the grumpy vendor and customer post.

Video was fine. Nice to see the kids enjoying the trains. They looked like they were getting into it and also being pretty careful as well. Looks like they were really concentrating on their trains and what they were doing. I get more enjoyment out of watching the kids than I do running the trains myself. I think many others have the same feelings.

As for wrecks, every time I have had kids over here it was not the kids that wrecked the trains, it is always me when trying to show them something. Never demonstrate cross over switches with trains running!

Ray,

    You are so right, Trains were made for little boys and I never really grew up.

Never apologize it's a sign of weakness - Great video of the kids and Trains, you are a very lucky man!

Reminds me of my daughter on Monday when we (myself, my wife and daughter) went to the Walter Anderson nursery a block away from work to look at the G Scale trains on (running) display.  The idea was to see their real size and if we liked them.

As soon as she saw the trains running she screamed "CHOO-CHOO" and was pointing and trembling with excitement!

Now I have to set up a layout, no choice. 

But I gotta say, not just for little boys!  She might grow out of it later (she just turned 2), but for now she loves trains.  Every time we go to the Santee Trolley Square we have to sit on a bench until a Trolley consist comes by (is it still a consist if it is traction?).

Pretty cool that kids can still enjoy things we did when we were young instead of just TV and electronic devices (although model trains are electronic devices, no?).

Helmut,

Our visitors included one younger boy age four and a girl age three, these two were also anxious to see the trains but, I must be honest,  when my wife brought the doll buggy out Abby lost interest in the trains. Abby does visit at the Mad City train show and is always excited to see the layouts and ride the kiddy train.

Ray,

yeah, my daughter might grow out of the train thing but for now it is to my advantage! 

she also loves animals, cars and planes.  but she is only two and starting to discover the world so who knows where her interests will go later.

BTW she does have a purse and likes to go shopping with Mommy too!
