I have 16 grand kids and none are interested in Grandpas layout other than to destroy it trying to run their toys cars on the roads. So I was pleased to see the latest article in September's RM on "A shunting Puzzle for the Grandchildren" A simple puzzle layout in a box using a Hornby 0-4-0 (smokey Joe is a good choice) and a few old wagons with good couplings.
A simple idea which might just spur some interest from the grandkids. They enjoy doing shunting puzzles on my i-phone so maybe the real thing will help

I’m sure you’ll have great fun playing with it, oh and the grand kids as well.

Peter you can’t beat a good shunting puzzle layout. If planned right you and the grand kids can have hours of fun.
