darlander posted:Had a great time last Saturday entertaining some young engineers and running trains. Ages ranged from 3 years to mid 50’s. They all got to run trains and work the gantry crane. Great fun was had by all and they all left with a back dated copy of Classic Toy Trains or O Gauge Railroading.
What a great way to clean out the file cabinet and hopefully, spread the hobby!

We need more of this! We need train layouts in stores such as Walmart, Target, Sears, ToysRus. We need to get Lionel back on the kids radar once again. A hobby that taught kids about basic electric, hand tools, carpentry, engineering and just using their imaginations in general! I just mentioned in another post that Lionel did do a good job taking advantage of the Polar Express and Harry Potter opportunity's, and I am confident that the way we are going with the wifi controlled layouts, more options to play with, more realistic speeds and sounds, the kids will have a better interest. After all, if they can put it on their IPad's it's almost a home run.
