That is a wonderful idea, Danny. I hope you have many hours and years of fun ahead of you with your boys and their trains.

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!), Danny Click
