One thing the GMLTC seems to do well is talk to kids.  If a kid is scoping out
the layout with a parent, we'll start talking to the kid before we'll talk to
the parent.  We know that kids are our "target audience", if the kids are happy
the parents will probably be happy.

Yes, and we go a bit further.  When a parent(s) has small kids with them or
mention the younger kids (includinf grandparents), we also put in a plug for the
Dupo trains, both 'push' and the battery-powered sets as starter sets til the
child becomes older and ready for the 'L' gage sets.

We have an example on our layout:

Great idea!  Now, if we can only figure out how to put one into our layout...
