I have some old (1970s) HO scale train stuff from my childhood that I'd like to set up around the Christmas tree for my son, who's now two and a half. I know, I know, he's way too young to play with an HO set, but I thought he might enjoy watching the train while I run it--or maybe he could run it with close supervision. When we go into a store here in town with a train set in the window he's mesmerized. Just wondered if anybody has any experience with toddlers and trains. Any tips? Warnings? I realize they probably don't have the dexterity to handle HO scale cars, but I'm not going to go out and buy a new layout in a different scale. Am I stupid for even trying this? I think the truth is I'm dying to set up the train for old time's sake, and I know he'll be very excited to see it run. It's not fancy or collectors item stuff--just an old Tyco set plus some later Athearn and Atlas add-ons. Thanks.
