There's nothing more fascinating than watching young children marvel at a model train display. Their eyes light up in wonderment. And when a train jumps out from within a tunnel, it's like magic. Mostly its the movement that captivates them. Once they have watched the moving trains for a bit, their eyes start to wander over the layout. A whole world laid out in front of their eyes. Here's where you can really capture them if you have some amusing scenes, or something they didn't expect to see. I was inspired to write this when I read the article Model Trains Fascinate Fans In Webster, on the STLtoday.com site.
When you create your layout, and for most of us this is a private thing in our own home (not a public display), include some funny scenes or things that make you look closer to see what's going on. Whether your goal is to delight your children, or your grandchildren, or just for yourself, humor and/or interesting scenes add personality to your layout and help bring it to life.
