About as disturbing as grown men playing video games!
Besides, children can't afford model trains these days anyway. A decent N scale engine will cost between $100 to $300 alone. Then you need to spend gobs of cash on cars and accesories. It is not to be taken lightly, from a wallet perspective.
I made the mistake ONCE of saying that they looked kind of cool while looking through some magazine, and wound up getting a ton of it for Christmas one year. Careful what one says during Christmas time. I know I am a hard person to buy presents for, but that was a bit rediculous. I did set it up once, but that tiny track is too fragile. Looses connection easily. Maybe one day I'll get around to making a permanent setup for it in some room, but for now, it sits buried in storage bins for the last 10 years.
I'm looking for a bigger house right now anyway, so maybe I'll make sure I have a dedicated hobbie room, and dedicated computer room this time. Right now, my computer hardware eats up an entire room so I have no room for anything else.
