…or just trains. Toys for two year olds to ninety year olds.
For some, there is nothing quite like building your own personal model railway. My hubby’s father scooted him out of his bedroom to make space for one!
For all those enthusiasts out there, I found an interesting tip on balast by Stan in Irvine:
In a scale model, the ballast is not loose as it is with real train tracks, but glued down. Considering that the real ballast is only an inch or two in size, model train ballast has to be pretty small to look right. Ballast may be purchased from train and hobby stores. In order to keep costs down, some model railroaders use masonry sand.
Your tot might not be there yet, so that’s just a lil’ sumthin’ for dads. But if you want junior interested in your hobby, try a Wooden Railway Set, good old Thomas the Tank Engine
or a Ride-on Train
