I'm all for getting the young folk interested in trains, both model and real. But let's leave the schools out of it; there's enough that they're not doing well, and having them fool with model trains is too much. Dad, stop leaving your kid's upbringing to somebody else and start doing it yourself. Take your son to the local model railroad club, or find a public spot where you can watch real railroading without stirring the local Fatherland Security. Take him to an excursion railroad to see big railroading close up. My dad drove me out to see the Ma & Pa as a kid. I've had those little trains rolling through the lush meadows permanently etched in my brain; a life-long love of railroads in general and short lines in particular has resulted (not to mention a career). Nothing will get a little boy's eyes wide quicker that a close up look at a living, breathing steam locomotive.
