Lego Trains - How have I managed to pull this off...

[dundarach]

Over Christmas managed to convince my wife that my 14 week old son and 2 year old daughter needed this building...



It'll be good when it's finished

This got me wondering, what have the other husbands and partners managed to get by their women?

(Outside, Garages and Cars don't count - has to be in the house)

When do they need the Scalextric as well

My 5 year old son has been doing the 8+ Technics Lego for 3 years now, I bloody love the stuff!

Haha, they're mostly to make sure the staion straights are long enough for a full rake of coaches
The video is a better representation of how it is now, and how it has been for 4 months. The door to the spare room is closed and I literally lost any motivation to finish it

I'm more impressed with the turntable. That does precisely 1 job

Pointless - love it

Your kid started building technic lego when he was 2 .

my little girl is 2 and she helps with builds - show her the pic in the instructions and she goes looking for it! I do organise all the colours into tubs so its a bit easier for her

A quick update for anyone interested....



Cleaned track, laid on painted cork and road in place...

Now to start building

Of course you realise that a 2-yr old is not going to be able to see anything 'cos they're too short...?

haha - there's a step to stand on - not large enough to touch mind you
