My son is crazy about Train Toys. I use to play train toys together with him during my spare time. Looks childish for some people, but I do enjoy it :)

That train looks cools. You just need some little Uglydolls to ride it!

And well she should not. At 27 you should still be restricted to Duplos. Legos are serious business, I believe it says on the box Ages 30+

I’m also 27 but I’m sure Tamami wouldn’t let me play with legos!

Having kids is the best excuse in the world for new toys.

OMG, you’re supposed to wait until you have children before you buy toy trains? I am so screwed.

I still enjoy using LEGO toys even in my ripe old 27 years ;)

(brings up fond memories of the old LEGO Town set)

I think she might not object to a wooden set like the one martin linked to.

So paint the trains pink and put faces on them if that’s what it takes. (Though as a kid, I didn’t want stuff like that to look girly… I wanted it to look REAL.)

Hey it’s not me, it’s her mum! She thinks trains are too macho.

Hinano might like trains but I have to deal with her mum, too.

I had tons of the blue-track trains when I was a kid … back in the early 1970s … I am amazed they still manufacture them

Definitely the best. I would go to the department store’s toy section to look at all those toy train sets and wish I could have one of those.

I also like Thomas the Tank Engine!

So it’s BRT on the top deck and LRT on the bottom. One bus v. 3 car train set.
My God. Where’s the ridership detail, headway data, stop spacing,
Crap! I need much more data on this new invention from Japan before I can comment.
Whew, got that out of my system.
Enjoy your trip, Andrew :)

My 3 1/2 year old daughter loves the Thomas trains because they have faces. That’s what she says, anyway.

Sorta following in Martin’s link above, there’s a lot of cool wooden train toys out there that put this plastic crap to shame…

As a female I must chastise you for your assumption that girls wouldn’t like toys like this. I always, always loved trains. So start shopping for those train sets!

My niece loves toy trains, cars, planes, and construction gear as much as she loves her dolls.
