Train Challenge


Nicolas is very into his trains. He plays with his GeoTrax almost every day. Now Melissa and I are often involved in the construction of the tracks that Nicolas plays with and lately we have gotten into a bit of a competition over who builds the better tracks. There are lively debates over what makes the best quality track like how many trains can run at once and the likely hood that they will collide, if the track is "self correcting" etc.

This is one of Melissa's creation. While it is clever and gets points on the elevated loop back (very cool) and parallel bridges the trains basically only go in one direction once they have turned around. I'll post some pictures of mine shortly to let the collective be the judge.
I think Santa will bring more track for Nicolas so I see this as a long term thing! Either way Nicolas will be the benefactor of some seriously cool creations to play with!
