No kids of my own here. Does my dog qualify? Her ears perk up each time she hears the trains running, and her tail wags in excitement.[:D]

I have three boys aged 5,4, and 2. The only problem I have is they want to "help" rerail the cars or add ones to a moving train. When they start doing that the seesion usually ends.

OF course when we see the prototypes they've started naming the type of cars.

Hello all,

I have an 18-month old son. I started taking him down to see my basement layout around age 2 months; he is now 18 months and is HOOKED on model railroading!

He insists on operation any time of the day or night (good for the call) that he can possibly convince Daddy and the Dispatcher (i.e. Mommy).

His "sign" to visit the MR is to say, "ch, ch, ch ch".

Has anyone else has this wonderful experience?

Just wondering,

Michael in CA
