Children are coddled too much nowadays. If you aren't risking life and limb during your childhood then you aren't doing it right.

This is actually really awesome. I kind of want something like this right now. frick battery powered.

quote:

In 1843, realizing that boys might want a toy train that did more than just sit there, the Stevens Company created the Model Dockyard Locomotive, one of the first ones that actually moved. Of course, the main reason why toy trains didn’t move up to that point was simply that the technology didn’t exist. The Model Dockyard Locomotive got around that limitation by using a real steam-propelled engine that required kids to pour either kerosene or alcohol into the train and then light it.

Has nothing to do with coddling. Lawsuits have eliminated stuff like this.
