DS (almost 3) still only likes trains. Started when he was 9 months and saw his first episode of Thomas. His grandmother bought him an engine and he has pretty much had at least one in his hand at all times since that moment.

I guess on the bright side... he knows an awful lot about trains for a two year old. He learned all of his colour and numbers from watching Thomas on TV. He can name every single engine on the Thomas website (I think there are 90). He has us take him on 'stake outs' of the train tracks in our area so he can see real trains. He likes to video tape them and then have us post them on You Tube (and no, I'm not kidding) and then he likes to watch thousands of videos about trains at crossings.

His only gadgets are skads of toy trains, tracks and accesories. He has a train table and spends 90% of his waking time playing with it. He really likes to act out stories from his books or episodes that he watches.

Almost seems a little obsessive to me. Personally, I'm damn sick of the trains!
