This Christmas, a big dream came true. My son got a nice Piko Start-Set from my parents. I already bought some wooden boards before to be able to build a table for the model train.
We chose Piko because we already had some very old Piko model train, but the rails were not very good anymore. Since the transformer was operated with C batteries, it was very hard to handle.
So far, we just built up all the rails on the wooden boards without screwing it on the board. Thereby my son is already able to have fun with the model train and I am able to do all the planning, see what is still missing and think what I am going to construct in what manner.
Well, and there is still A LOT of things missing! I am not talking about houses, cars, tunnels etc. I am just talking about the electric drives for the railway switches, electric switches, transformers for the lights and much more.
So, please stay tuned. In the next days I am not going to tell you more on how it all started, about all the things we already have (like cars, houses etc.) and of course about the progress of our project.
