Ahhh, the tragedy. You've forgotten what it was to be a 5 yr old boy around trainsBack in the 80's, when I had my first HO and a friend from work stopped to visit. We were in the basement and I lead him over towards my layout to find a gun reloading book. He noticed the layout and said "nice toy trains". I said thanks and for him that was the end of it. But, he had his 5 years old boy with him and not being tall enough, he keep saying " let me see, let me see". I moved the stool over for him and ran my GP-50 with some cars around the layout. My friend told him just watch and don't touch and we went back to BSing. A few laps later, the boy grabbed the GP-50. We quickly got it out of his hands and no damage was done other than a few broken stanchions. At least it didn't end up on the concrete floor.
I was nervous letting the 5 year old that close to the layout, but I also remember being that age and being totally fascinated with trains, so I couldn't have denied him that experience.Ahhh, the tragedy. You've forgotten what it was to be a 5 yr old boy around trains
To me, anything you have that you don't need, but just makes you happy is kind of a 'toy'.
