OTOH, a now 15 yr old got his first serious train experience when 8 mo. old watching a CSX MTY phosphate train SB as we were waiting for AMT NB to take me away. In more recent years he has been given multiple HO engines cars, and his dad and I built him a permanent train table. The net result is that he and his dad now play w/trains. What will happen as he grows older is anyone's guess but despite his access to 'puters, and playing trumpet he appears interested in trains, including sitting in the upper level sightseer. As with most other "habits" encouraging action from relatives and friends is useful.
