Hello Guys. Haven't stopped by in a while. How R U ?
What is the most popular holiday gifts for model train lovers and kids.
I'm trying to find something for the grand children.
Thomas The Tank Engine or Polar Express sets both seem like it would be OK for a 3 year old.
What do ya think about them ?

I am good, how are you?

Personally for a three year old I would get him a Thomas the Tank Engine set... I know that I loved that TV show when I was around that age... Is it even on anymore? Maybe get him the Polar Express set in a couple of years... Now you have my two cents

Yeah Thomas is still on .. I read up on the show on Wikipedia the other day.

To my horror, they are moving to a complete CGI (computer generated) setup... big time FAIL

Oh well.

But back on topic, yeah Thomas is a winner no matter how you slice it. If they are young, start them with the Thomas wooden (Brio-type) trains as anything else will likely get trashed in a short time.

LOL nice, there is another good boat one I am trying to find.. basically it's a yacht that is going nose first into the water at a 90 degree angle and the captain or some other guy is at the end holding on for dear life.
