Nicholas, <br /> To paraphrase the age old addage, " I think you can, I think you can,,,".[:D] <br /> <br /> Better still, with careful and selective language, if you can get your Dad to help out, you may find that even HE can get sucked into the hobby. What I mean by that is as you take steps in construction, ask your Dad HIS opinion on things. Examples? "Dad, I'm thinking of going with a 42 inch layout height, what do you think?" or if Dad knows a little about electronics. " Dad, I'm thinking about 14 guage feeder wires for the track, what do you think?". Just remember one thing. If you commit to it, do it. Don't start anything you cannot finish. Showing yourself and Dad that you can keep after a project long after the inital novelty of it wears off will pay major benefits later in life.[^]
