<p>Largely it's so they can put those trains they just bought to some immediate use. I know that's what my family and I did when I got a trainset for christmas at the age of 9. Since we had a very large dining room we used a corner of it to put the train layout in. Needless to say it never dawned on us that cat invasions would become an issue. And to a kid at that age just watching the trains go around is enough. It isn't until you start getting older you begin thinking of concepts like operation or simply "how do I make this train do something other than endless laps around the layout?". </p>
