I second the comment about being perfect for the grandparents place so the novelty doesn't wear off -- now we just have to figure out how to talk them into it!</p> I know it’s always good to encourage imagination and everything, but I gotta say….damn, those are cool!

He would probably re-build terrain to make the yard fit to the tracks, not the other way around. (He took out two trees because you could not see the Christmas decorations from the corner of the street.)</p> My grandfather would put the first one in his yard in a heartbeat!

My dad would love it, the grandkids would love it, and the novelty of it wouldn't wear out because, well, it's at grandpa's house and we aren't there very often.

I might rent train number 2 for a birthday party, but I would hate to be the slowest kid on the track, you would be very unpopular pretty fast.

But, like molly, I’ll stick to the cardboard box.

He has repaired (lifesize) locomotive parts for years. My grandad did the same thing too. I can totally see him riding in the back yard with the grandbaby.</p> Well…I’m sending the links to my dad.

They wouldn't even need kids around to play with it. </p> I actually know a couple of grandfathers who would pay that much for a cool train in the backyard.

However, I bet she would like a cardboard box (to use like the last example) just as much.
