Hi,

My 11 DS loves your Youtube channel and watches it all the time. He has started taking apart his trains trying to modify them. I would like to encourage his desire in working with the trains and electronics in general; and was wondering what your opinion would be on a good gift for him, to help him with this endeavor. Thank you so much for your time and your videos.

Maybe look on eBay for a parts/repair lot? For me it is always fun trying to see what you can get running from the lot. Some may be a simple battery terminal needing cleaned up, but some may need to be rewired. Good luck, and this site is definaletly the place to learn if there are questions. I know I have learned a ton from the site and members.

I assume you are addressing your question to Ucwepn? Not sure what 11 DS means but the age might help

Parting means to take certain misc parts and put them into another motor. I do not recommend, unless you prefer to take chances.

What does it do?

It's like Lego, but for electronics. You stick parts together and then make little gadgets.
