[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by DaveZee Could the Thomas the Tank be upgraded to something more mature as he gets older, or would I have to start from scratch? Thanks to everyone for the advice so far... Dave [/quote] Hi Dave I don't have any G scale stuff myself , so I can't say a whole lot about the subject. You can post another question in [url="http://www.trains.com/community/forum/default.asp?CAT_ID=5 "]Classic Toy Trains Forum[/url] though. I think Thomas probably will hold his intrest until the age of 7 or 8. Depends how long he likes the TV show. I'm 49 and I still watch it if I can. The track is G gage so you can run any other G scale equipment. There is a lot available now. Have you visited [url="http://www.walthers.com/exec/search?category=Trainset&scale=G&manu=&item=&keywords=&instock=Q&split=30&Submit=Search"]Walthers.com[/url]? Lionel hold its value very well, so you probably would want to mothball the set (including the box it came in) untill he's your age and has kids of his own. And if your grand children aren't into trains, well he could always sell it on Bay for more than you paid for it. Another plus about G scale is it's great for small hands. Little kids have a tough time with HO scale. LGB trains are so rugged kids can ride on them. I don't know if they can do that with other brands. I also would like to add that G scale is very popular in Garden Railroading. There is also a forum for them too.[url="http://www.trains.com/community/forum/default.asp?CAT_ID=7"] click here[/url]
