Grandpa & Grandson Build A Train Set

As an avid model railroader, I'm hopeful that my grandson will also get involved with the hobby. So far, he has really taken to his "brio" type wooden trains during the past couple of years. He loves building layouts with the track and his most wanted present last Christmas was "more track" to build with. We gave him over 200 pieces in all combinations. He enjoys designing and building his layouts more than actually playing with them! Hmm ... sounds like a future model railroader to me.
Now that he's five, he's not quite ready for HO or Lionel yet, so I got him a Wow Toyz battery operated train set, which will serve as a transition from wooden to electric trains, and which you'll see in this time lapse video, performs surprisingly well. He and I recently spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon assembling and conducting our first operating session together. Enjoy witnessing the glee of a young boy with a new train set.
