"I bought this for my great-grandsons aged 5 and 6. Their parents bought them the remote controlled train and I also got them extra track. We have a long tradition of Lego in our family. I bought the first Lego bricks for my son (not the boys grandfather) 54 years ago. They came in a square tube and the lid was the base for whatever one wanted to build. We still have some of the original bricks! We will continue the Lego tradition in our family."
