Is your family bored? Here's an idea...

These are extraordinary times. Most of us probably never imagined having to spend so much time confined to our homes. It must be especially challenging for parents with children. Even in ordinary times, keeping kids interested in anything for an extended time is no small feat. At some point, kids get bored with just about everything - yes, even video games. The same can be said for adults, as well.

After a week or two of home confinement, it may be time to think outside the box for "the next big thing" in an attempt to keep everyone in the family sane. Maybe that "thing" could be building a small railroad empire. Model trains are a great way to teach or learn new skills in a fun setting that can involve the whole family. 
N-scale model trains are a perfect option for a family project. They are small enough that it is possible to build something fun for kids (and adults) without taking an enormous amount of space. A complete railroad can easily fit in the corner of a bedroom when finished.

Many online retailers are selling products at vastly reduced prices to stimulate sales. It does not have to be complicated or super expensive. There are trainsets and building kits from simple to elaborate that are complete with everything needed to build a finished railroad. A quick Internet search will reveal lots of options. Pick one - or two or three - and get started today. 
​Building a small model train layout is a project your family can enjoy together during those times when nothing else seems interesting, and it will leave everyone with great memories and something tangible to enjoy for years to come.
