Recommend starting with Brio, Thomas, and Whittle Short Line. My kids eventually had enough gear to turn most of house into a layout. Whittle sells extra large curves which allows really long trains. The bridge ramps are a little abrupt. Depending on temperment, HO may or may not be appropriate as early as five. A surer bet is O gauge and leave the HO for when they get a little older. Some kids get interested early and some never get it. Rail fanning will help them develop appropriate play.
