Re: Reconstituted Original Tractor Forum!!
murph, what size was it?
For the smaller hands of a child, the larger size trains seem to be the easiest to play with. That's why I think the Playmobil and other G size sets are great.
But something like a "O" scale Lionel is also a great size for a child. With Bonehead's son at age 4, Lionel might be a bit more advanced and more expensive than he might want to get . . . unless Bone plans on playing with the trains too.
Again, the question is really a question of is this a play alone toy or is this a bonding toy for growing up.
jodyand . . . are you talking about the old tin Marx trains? Those are amazing in that they look like crude tin toys but really they were some great trains. I believe they are still in production too. Simple folded metal trains but with great lithograph designs. Talk about a trip down memory lane!!!
