I was aware of trains from a very young age. My mother taught me my alphabet by building trains out of blocks. One could say that my early education consisted of consists. My dad built an HO set for me when I was about 4 or five. I actually have all these early memories. <br /> <br />Originally I planned to by one of those "Coastal Express" battry powered trains for myself and see how far I could go with it, but as per yours and other's input, I think I will buy it for her. <br /> <br />I do so enjoy trains and gardining. I plan to use it as an educational tool for her, as it was made for me. She will have part ownership of our line. I even plan to draw up some official looking paperwork. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br />[4:-)]
