I'll throw my two cents worth in, since I have the Kato Unitrack WGH plan set. It is roughly a 4' x 8' HO set. ALthough it is HO, and not N scale, I think the N scale would be pretty much the same. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. The HO scale Unitrack turnouts can be made for power routing (DC), or non power routing (DCC), by only moving a small pair of screws underneath. If you ever decide to upgrade to DCC later on....when he gets hooked...and he will, conversion will be fairly easy. So far, I'm very impressed with the Kato quality. Having said that, I need to tell you this: I have been out of the hobby for several years, and am a newcommer to DCC, which is what my layout will be. All I have done is assemble a small bit of track on a table and run some trains on it in DCC. So far, I am very happy. Even though the track is pre ballasted, I still like it. You're right. It is a bit more expensive. If the N scale is the same quality as the HO, I would say it is well worth the extra cost.
