My son (9) and I bought tour first model railroad equipment. Thanks to the advice from the people in this forum we our happy with our initial purchase. The got the MRC 220 transformer and a proto 2000 gp7 locomotive and enough track to make an oval. <br /> <br />We were up and running in no time. We went into the store with no theme in mind. It took my son about 5 seconds to decide on a military theme so I bought him a flat bed that had a couple of army vehicles on it. We set up on the 4' x 8' piece of plywood. My son immediately started building lego tunnels and bridges while I built the frame for the table. After the frame work was done, and a good job too (a little self plug there), I told my son it was time to move the plywood on to the frame. He said it was more fun to play on the floor than on a table. Hmmm. <br /> <br />Last night when I was putting my son to bed he said, "dad, do you think we could set up the trains in my room?" I told him the trains were better off in the basement. Today he asked if he could eat dinner with the trains. I think I have him hooked already.
