I just gave my nephew 2 yellow trains from Thomas and friends. he just turned 4 this past Sunday. How many other people know of childern that likes these trains? My nephew has liked these trains for a good while now. He likes me to look them up on my computer and likes playing with them more then any of his other toys.

Trains make for great and interesting toys, Shaun, and I can guess that your nephew will be well pleased at your generosity. Who knows? Maybe someday he will go into a line of work that involves trains! One of my grandsons showed a great interest in toy cars when he was small, and we gifted him with models often. Today he is an excellent mechanic.

My mother ran a nursery school for almost 15 years, and the children in her school absolutely loved those toys. She ran the school from 1988-2002. that should give you an idea of how long they have been popular. I was born in 1982, and I remember seeing Thomas on TV.

My son wasn't into trains, but big trucks, semis, soon as he could draw he would draw pics of big trucks, I know a lot of boys are into trains, and like to see pics of them in books and on the computer. I would think it is their dream to one day be a train engineer or a truck driver. I am not aware of these 2 special types of trains, but I know that you are a good aunt to help him find pics of these trains on the computer. Some parents and aunts, grand mothers don't have time to spend with these small children, and I think that is where a lot of kids become problems in society. Keep up the good work with your nephew it is never too early to show them we care.
