Great ideas. Let me throw my two cents in.
Out of my 5 sons I have only one that has been interested in trains and as he has gotten older he has slowly lost interest. BUT, I have one grandson that is really crazy about them. He can't wait to come over to my house to work on my layout.
One of our favorite things is to watch "Trains and Locomotives" together. The little bugger is so smart he is always asking questions about trains that ,for the most part, I can answer. But the other day the show was about the
Challenger and Big Boy. He immediately noticed that the drive wheels were not in sync. So, he asked why. After waiting an embarrassing long time, I told him "Kyle, I just don't know". So if there are some folks out there who could give me an answer, I would certainly appreciate it. Does it have anything to do with speed or pulling power?
Thanks, Bill
