Wow John you are a brave man indeed. I have a hard enough time monitoring the
trains, and keeping an eye out for run away toddlers (and if anyone has one they
know that a couple of pieces of rope mean nothing), but having to keep an eye on
the entire crowd and run the trains at the same time would make me a nervous
wreck at the end of the day. I have been working with some plexi glass to allow
people to get closer with out fear of mass destruction.

But of course here at home with my 3 year old, I just go with the flow. I figure
as long as I don't loose the pieces I'm ok.
