<p>[quote user="two tone"]Hi JimMM <span class="smiley">[#welcome]</span>Two things you do no say how old your daughter is or where you are a little info on both helps as you can see from my ID I would buy the Backmann Polar train G scale But if you are going out doors I would recomend LGB track or Peco bachmann track is IN doors only will rust away in a few months AS for track power it is only 24v DC as long as power supply is in doors daughter should be ok out side with train and a basic speed controller. Hope this helps[/quote]</p><p>She will be 5-years-old Christmas Eve. We live in Florida. Places were running out of both versions of the Polar Express so I picked one of the G guage sets up this afternoon. I don't know what LGB or Peco Backmann are ... probably brands? I'll take a look. The track that came with this Lionel set is plastic. I dont' suppose it's going to hold up very long outside, but it should last long enough to tell whether she will stick with it. If she gets hooked we can look into getting more permanent, metal (brass?), tracks.</p>
