Cool, glad to hear members of the younger generation are still into model railroading. To echo the other posts, starting out using DCC is really the way to go, even though your first cost will be higher. Hooking up DCC controlers to the track is as easy as soldering two wires to the rails and, after that, you run trains instead of trying to run the layout. If you want to go whole hog, each boy can heve their own throttle and control their own train. It's a great way to teach cooperation since the boys will have to collaborate to get their trains around the layout without any cornfield meets.
Me, too. They are the future of the hobby. I've got two grandchildren that will carry on my love of trains and fishing. Hopefully they can see as much change in both hobbies in their lifetime as I have seen in mine. And, with just as much hope, they can pass it on.
