Let The Kids Be Kids

Here is a short video taken tonight with my 7 year old son at the throttle of a long train. Note how the locomotives are literally swarming with Lego people. Note how Hot Wheels, Matchbox and other vehicles have run amok on the layout. Also notice the fun he is having.

One of the reasons I named my railroad the FUN Lines is to remind me that it is supposed to be FUN and not to get overly concerned with scale accuracy, ultra-realistic scenery, rivet counting, historical accuracy and such.

Let the kids be kids on the layout! Even if YOU think the building should go here and not there, let THEM take control. You will both have more fun in the end.
