I LOVE TRAINS....

We bought the Thomas the Train set at Christmas time, but he really didn't get into it until lately. Now he is obsessed! He eats with his trains, sleeps with his trains and even watches t.v. with his trains. Dad just bought a battery powered Thomas so now it runs constantly. Every time we try to turn it off he "freaks" out! In one week we have already gone through 2 batteries. This looks to be an expensive toy... have you seen the price of the tracks. We are going to need to save for this one. What were we thinking?
