It's Gratifying When...
Author: ChrisCampi

Our neighbors are very bright hippie, techies types who's four year old celebrated a birthday last Saturday. I picked a Thomas set as a gift not sure how well it would go over.

Well this morning my Wife reported that father and Son were out "playing trains" in the backyard.

So nice on many levels.

Next step, take Dad and son to a train store, then you've got both of them on the hook, finish the day trackside. Result, two lifelong model railroaders!

Good Job!!!

Or the next time there is a railroad event, a steam excursion, or maybe some live steam club is having their public run days, find an opportunity to casually mention it to the dad. I've never turned anyone into an avid modeler, but at least I have succeeded in getting a number of parents to take their kids out for some great railroad experiences.
