Thomas & Friends in N-gauge

Hi all,

Having been to a few exhibitions now and read many reports from others, it seems that the younger kids don't really get chance to see let alone play with any of the layouts.

I've been thinking on this, and would welcome your thoughts,

I'm looking at building the Thomas & Friends trakmat layout in N-gauge, this will give two continuous loops....yes it can be done all with set track!
I have found a place where I can buy the N-gauge Thomas loco range, although converting them to DCC can be done but it's quite involved.
With a combination of Hornby Lyddle end and peco N-gauge, I should be able to make an almost exact copy of the complete traditional Hornby TrakMat layout.
Not only will this be set at a height that the younger kids can actually see it without a stool, but on the front will be two Bachmann EZ command companions, so they can also have a play as well!

These will be linked to the EZ command station which I will control at the back of the layout, just in case of trouble, I will set up the decoders to a slow max speed anyway using my PowerCab.

Points will be hand of god, it's just really for the little ones to play with.

Any thoughts, opinions?

Have I missed something?

Just thinking out loud, but I thought it would be a nice idea.
