We found this amazing used train table with 30+ trains and lots of track on KSL.com (Utah's most popular way to sell junk!) The family that had it took great care and all the trains are like new. If we had bought it all new it would have been 4 or 5 times the cost so we were really pleased. Initially, we wanted to continue a reward system we have where he gets to pick a train every time he fills his good deed jar with marbles. However, it didn't turn out quite that way. He plays with it all now and we decided it was fun to just have an early Christmas for him. Since he really doesn't get the whole toys at Christmas thing. It's really fun to watch him play and figure out how to change the track and recreate his own Thomas stories. He loves the trains and knows all their names, most of them I had never heard of but somehow even though I watch all the Thomas movies with him, he's picked out a few I missed, like Jack the tractor and Daisy the coach... etc. He also makes the best train noise I have ever heard! It really sounds like a train! Lincoln has become very interested in watching Miles play with his trains and so quite often Miles and I discuss how the trains are for all three children and he will happily share with Lincoln and Julia when they get old enough to play too! Lets see how that turns out!
