As every one says Ahh what a lovely baby ,
Congratulations, I think that you had better start building a Thomas the Tank layout ,as they say start them young, not that that worked with our three .

Well, it turns out Father-in-Law is a bit of a closet model railway fan, who had some O and HO stuff in his youth and is dying to see my layout, and Brother-in-Law could spend hours watching trains from the comfort of his pushchair, and though Mrs. Squid can't tell a pre-TOPS Peak from an obscure back-of-beyond Japanese EMU she has this bizarre insistence I should buy an automated level crossing for the layout, so I'm cautiously optimistic. Also the nearest park from Chez Squid is right next to the local commuter line.

Massive congratulations railsquid

As one who didn't become a father until he was 45 I have only one bit of advice - take as many photos/videos as you can because the time passes amazingly quickly and if you blink you'll miss it.

I'm no spring chicken myself... The Mrs. made me go out and buy a nice new camera, recording of baby, for purposes of. I also work mainly from home, which is not without its downsides but vastly preferable to the working life experienced by most here, so will no doubt see a fair bit of the little one as he grows.

Apparently it's a non-runner at the moment, but the motive power unit is fuelled by an innovative biofuel system controlled by an autonomous built-in command unit.

Will the squidlet end up in one of the Inter-City/Swallow/NSE liveries?

Who's stalking whom here?  :hmmm:

Anyway there can only be one answer to your question:

Give it yellow ends and it will be acceptable. Erm, the MU that is, not the squidlet.

Oh dear ... the squidlet looked a little bored at one point !!!

Not enough steamers ...  :P

An electric locomotive is technically a steamer... just the steam is generated remotely  :P Anyway he perks up once the train comes back into view.

I wouldn't have been much older that the baby when I first discovered the joys of N gauge - then called OOO and was push along.

Somewhere on the shelf in the background I have a couple of boxes of OOO bearing the brand name "Lonestar"... albeit the advanced version involving electric motors and elastic bands.

Those old metal Lone Star ones were awesome. Came with ready ballasted track like the old Triang stuff or Kato Unitrack.....  ;)

I think you have found a perfect way of inducing sleep to your little squidlet  :sleep:  ;)

I love the chair, I wonder if they do them in old bloke sizes  :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing:

cheers John.

G'day from Australia,  :hellosign:
Loved the video of the sqidlet as it brought back fond memories of my 2 when they were that age. They are now Shane 42 and Carol 44. My God where did all those years go.  :hmmm:
Shane never caught the Train Bug but is a Fishing Nut and has fished all over the Planet.
Carol has 2 Daughters, Charlotte 8 and Eloise 6 and are as big a Train Nuts as Pa (me).
so I figure All Good.
Cheers   :beers: Denis the QLD KID.
