Hello "S" list,
It is interesting that John snapped photos of some of the trains that I have
recently purchased for my sons. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and they
have had a blast playing with them! The problem (and the "S" content) is that
the track that comes with them is really bad. A similar problem to most of the
entry level sets of the 70's and 80's that Bob Werre spoke of. The kids are
playing with the trains now on the floor with no track. This has lead me down
a new path to keep trains (on tracks) in front of them. I have decided to
acquire and permanently attach S helper track to a 5'X8' board and get them
some AF trains to play with until they are old enough for some scale
equipment. I know I could use AF track, but I may want to play on the layout
with some scale equipment during their nap time! While it is very good to see
trains back in stores, the stuff on the shelves at the big box and toy stores
just doesn't cut it for me.
The quality is traded for the more affordable price point. I am glad there is
a resurgence though!
Growing a couple of future S scalers (I hope!),
