My Grandson and I ,,,, Have a great time .
He always drags me to his bed room to "play trains" with a toot out of the side of his mouth
I think its quite educational and er ,,GREAT FUN
Chris, You have a very handsome grandson and I bet those trains came from Santa grampa? My son enjoyed playing with his until he was about six and then started video craze,so hold on to these precious times.
I see in the 3rd photo your grandson is quite the operations expert... delivering a cut of cars to the siding... but the 4th photo seems to show a derailment of some sort...I don't suppose he has a little sister that works for the US Department of Transportation who might be investigating the circumstances
Getting them addicted at such a young age. It's great!! My grandfather was a tremendous influence on me. He lived his whole life just a stone's throw from the Erie Railroad. First in Harriman NY, then Monroe NY and finally Fairlawn NJ. I used to climb up on his lap and he would show me Railroad magazine. I still have many of them. He had lost the use of his legs so he had braces on them and used a cane. Dispite his disability he slid down the stairs on his butt just to see my Lionel set up. Unfortunatly, he passed away when i was only 5 years old but those memories are as clear as if they were yesterday. Now 35 years later I still miss him but look at the wonderful hobby he has left me. Thank you Robert Clarence Maddox.
Thanks folks, Yep he is a handful, I take him of Mum for an hour, she is glad of the break to do other things, that`s when we go roaring around the track.
Hi Val yes he is the same wee fellow, a bit more bossy now
