Not as often as I would have thought...considering what I run. Postwar to modern, any size, on Lionel tubular with 022 and 072 switches and crossovers, on many trestle bents.
I've left the room with four trains running, Cab 2's in the hands of my 3 and 5 year old Grandsons. They each run one train, any speed (they don't care for high speed, which is odd, but a good thing) and direction they want, automatic switch operation (I throw switches if need be). Right now at thier age they're enamored with the big stuff, Centipedes, scale S1, S2, T1, J1, DD35, SD-70ACe, JLC GG1 etc., but every now and then an Atlantic or K4, or F3.
I have more 'accidents' than them. And it's usually my error. Thank goodness for the ZW-L and modern circuit breakers.
