Reply to "Maybe a way to get small children interested in the Hobby?"

Mannyrock,

Have you thought of setting up a small wooden Thomas layout for you grandson? As he is still in the hand-powered phase, this could be a way to further his interest in the hobby. There are also many Thomas books you can pick up for $3-6 on Amazon, you can keep these at your house and they could be "Pop's Thomas Books!"

For his 4th or 5th Birthday, if he still shows interest, perhaps you can get him an O-scale train set ($140-200 on da'bay right now for the Thomas Set). He could run his own trains, with his grandpa! I personally have many wonderful memories of running trains with my grandfather. Also, this would be a great hands-on way to teach him about the basics of electricity.

I second what Richie has said. As an LCCA member, they really do a fantastic job of getting kids interested in the hobby.
