[#welcome] to the forum!!! [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ericsp I am partial to Athearn. They are a pretty good deal. The Walthers train set might not be bad, though I should note that I have never bought Walthers Trainline. I started model railroading about 7 and got Athearn kits about that age. I think the rolling stock in the train sets is ready to run though. [/quote] [#ditto] Well said. Athearn's aren't the best in detail or in smoothess of running, but are nearly indestructible. They last forever and are a huge step up from a Bachmann or a LifeLike set. HO scale is the only way to go for a 7 year old, it is easy to work with, but not so big it takes up a whole room for a small layout. Good Luck, Greg
