The railroads in this country are still very much alive and nowhere close to becoming a thing of the past.By all means indulge your son in railfanning.With all the nastiness in this world today a passion for trains is a great outlet.Just remember in our hobby,safety allways comes first.

I HAVE A SON WHO LOVES TRAINS. WE TAKE HIM TO THE TRAIN STATION, HE LOVES TO WATCH SHOWS ABOUT TRAINS, AND HE LOVES TO PLAY WITH THEM. ( AS A MOM I NEVER KNEW A CHILD THIS YOUNG COULD BECOME SO OBSESSED WITH SOMETHING) HIS 2 YEAR OLD BIRTHDAY IS COMING UP, AND WE ARE PLANNING A TRAIN PARTY. THAT IS HOW I FOUNND THIS SIGHT. I READ A FEW THINGS ABOUT HOW THERE ARE NO GOOD TRAIN TRACKS OUT THERE FOR KIDS, AND I AM HERE TO SAY I DISAGREE. IT MAY NOT BE MODEL TRAINS AT THIS POINT BUT MY SON LOVES THE THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE TRAINS. HE KNOWS THEM ALL BY NAME. WE HAVE TAKEN HIM TO A DAY WITH THOMAS WHERE HE GOT TO RIDE THE TRAINS. HE LOVES IT. ONE DAY WHEN HE IS OLDER WE WILL BUY HIM BETTER TRAINS, BUT FOR RIGHT NOW I THING COUPLING TRAINS WITH MAGNETS IS PERFECT EXPOSURE TO SOMETHING THAT HAS SHAPED OUR COUNTRY SO GREATLY. I DONT WANT RAILROADING TO BE A COMPLETE THING OF THE PAST, SO TO ME TRAIN EXPOSURE OF ANY KIND IS BETTER THAN NONE.
