Jiihoo - thanks for the info but brio was purchased before he was even born in preparation for him coming alone. As Don eluded to, the electric train is really for me to play with, with them :-) thanks for all the info everyone. I was lucky enough that I mentioned it to my dad and he came over last night with his classic old OO track and engines. What I want to know is, why the heck has he just got this out now I'm 29!!!

I know how that works Chris. With me it was slot cars, Radio Control Planes, Boats and Cars. Now it is mostly my son that plays with them but the old man still enjoys them once in a while.

Chris, he was just waiting till he was sure you would use them properly. You know how some kids think walls are for writing on and cars and trains should be thrown and not driven. That may have been a valid excuse 28 years ago but why he waited so long I don't know. What ever you end up getting I am sure that you will share many happy hours in the years to come and someday you will be able to help pass it on to your grandson.  :D :)

Cheers  :beer:

I suggest 'L' gauge, Lego trains for a very young child, if they don't like trains the toys will still get played with..

But you do need a big room for a permanent layout, something like a double garage is quite nice!
