I am adding this to my "prolegomena" in response to N versus HO for a child. When my son was around 5, I went out and bought about 6 of those really large Tonka toys, like trucks, etc. I was thinking in my adult mode, bigger is better. He never really played with them. First they weren't comfortable in his hands, and secondly they were awkward to manoeuvre. If you go into any toy store you will find most of the toys available for kids to be small, because small is what the kids like. Take your cue from Brio trains. Brio is closer in size to N scale than HO and kids love Brio. <br /> <br />My son learnt how to handle - and still does handle - N scale better than I do. Its amazing how fast that 4 year old will turn into a 16 year old. N scale is a good scale for kids - and they can re-rail it better than you will be able to....lol. Most of the planet will tell you HO is the better size for kids - not really!
