Hi Gary <br />I think there are a niumber of things that could be done based on my own observation at exhibitions most train layouts are too high for children to see them. <br />So there need to be some layouts that are lower down so children can see them that where built specificaly with children in mind Snooville HO which was at the Perth AMRA (I think) exhibition and in a magazine was a good example. <br />It was bright colourfull not strictly prototype simple and fun most house holds would have the <br />soap and makeup containers that the stock was made of on the wifes dressing table or in the bathroom. <br />The other thing is that no one seems to manufacture the good solid reliable <br />not strictly to scale bright colourfull kids pocket money priced trains any more. <br />Triang Hornby did some nice ones that did not have to chucked out when the child was old enough,and it was time to move on to the more scale trains like Dad played with. <br />We need a Large scale train that can match that.with all the add on bits <br />and the train layouts that used to be in the big toy shops back <br />i am sure if the exposure level was there alot more kids would be interested <br />thats my 50c worth <br />regards John <br /> <br />
