The Dear Nephew has a birthday party this weekend, train themed. Dear Nephew is a young teen who is into trains. I know nothing about trains. Here is the problem: I always like to take the perfect gift. That is a pride thing, I know. But still, the perfect gift, it seems would be something for his H-O scale sets, preferably something we make ourselves or at least pull together as a gift. But since I have only the foggiest memory of what he has, that knowledge only goes so far and it is not anywhere near the station.
Sigh.
Any omniscient train gift experts out there? At this point, if no inspiration chugs down the track, I will be fashioning a train out of rice krispie squares and putting it on top of a box holding a gift card. I think I can... I think I can... I think I can... I think I'm out of steam on this one.
Hmm... Have you thought of getting a book/video about the history of trains? Maybe a cross-section book of trains? I don't know... We're an airplane family... ;-)
