Thankyou very much for your kind welcomes and replies. I am fortunate indeed that Troy has spared parts of the garden for myself and the children and he is quite insistent that the 320ft of track "blends in". My father in law's garden railway has entirely done away with the garden itself however, he clearly derives alot of pleasure from it. <br />We are fortunate here in that, not only do the children involve themselves in the garden railway, but they also have the steam railway which crosses the main road out of here. Far from being annoyed at the wait, we usually end up having to slow down and stop in advance of the gates being shut so that the children can see which train it is (They all still have names). The children did not know that electric trains existed until we took a tube in London and even then they thought there must be a diesel pulling it. Of course their only other knowledge of trains had come from the Thomas videos. They still do not conceive of the modern electric train. In this respect Thomas has been particularly influential. <br /> <br />Andrea
