Lol.... I used to have friends from school come over,  that's the first thing they ask "how fast does it go"? And I would show them my hot shot trailer train then lose the train in the curve throwing off trailers containers

My friend's 3 yr old hasn't quite figured out that the curves thru town are 15MPH!!!!!!!!!!! He usually runs thru at 40-50 scale MPH... and then goes... " the train went off the track... AGAIN!!!" Really? But, he also usually grabs every vehicle off the layout and stacks them in front of him... 1 hour of play time... equals 3 hours to fix everything he has screwed up!!! But, it is all good... got to get them interested when they are young.
