Pirate Train

Nick has outgrown his trains. Just no interest. He’s more into action figures and super heroes these days. Batman, Spiderman, Iron Man, Power Rangers, pirates, monsters, dragons…You get the point. But Chris made him a beautiful train table for Christmas a few years ago and I hated to see it all lonely in Nick’s room. Until we figured out how to play Pirate Train. I brought back some great pirates from Hong Kong. Swords and all. A pirate stands on a track and talks trash to Thomas the Engine. Thomas then speeds forward (with 10 + cars behind him) and knocks the pirate off the track. This continues with the 4 other pirates we have until there are no pirates left alive. Then Spiderman comes out. Same ending. And then a dinosaur comes out. Same ending. The grand finale is ALL the pirates, Spiderman AND the dinosaur standing on the tracks. Only to be defeated by Thomas and friends one more time. Who says trains are for babies?
