Re: small children.

Number 90 assisted the Lone Star HiRailers in hosting a "Day out with Thomas" in Grapevine, TX this past weekend.  I could not attend, so we talked on the phone for about an hour while he drove home, and the following is one of his conclusions in regard to showing trains to the public:

People want to see an "O-27 type" train set going REAL FAST around the track.  You are not going to impress anyone with a high level of detail, a realistic mix of road names in a wheel report, long consists, etc...they want a short train going full blast.

Within my family are many school teachers, both public and private schools.  On our get-togethers they recount the latest horror stories that have unfolded in their respective classrooms.  The common conclusion to all of it says that discipline within the home has fallen off a cliff. 

And the root meaning of discipline is not "to punish", but rather "to teach"  (disciple). 

These are things to bear in mind toward our society of young people.
