Turned my kid's train obsession into a permanent feature in our home

My son came back from Japan last year completely hooked on their trains. Started with a basic oval set but that just wasn't cutting it. Six months later, our reading room corner looks like this. Ancient temples on one side, modern Tokyo on the other. Kid learned patience, I learned that model train people are very specific about scale accuracy, and we both learned that "just one more building" is a dangerous phrase. https://youtu.be/KcGedj9shCI?si=5EX9UirCP5NdA-qY submitted by /u/wimboyen [link] [comments]
