Starter Set for Dad & 3 Year Old

I would caution that N scale may be a little delicate for 3 year old hands. Unless of course it is really for Dad ;-) Would you consider the Bachmann HO Thomas set, or do you want something a little more realistic? <br /> <br />You will probably be better off buying things separately, although you might buy a track kit - I have heard that the Kato Unitrack pack is good quality. You might end up with this in the Kato starter set. <br /> <br />Overall, if you go with a starter set, I think that you will need to budget a bit for expansion in the (near) future. Watching a train go round an oval, while soothing and hypnotizing, can get a little old. <br /> <br />Good luck, and good for you for sharing with your son. My daughter is two, and loves to watch my trains run. She yells "choo choo" and claps every time it makes a loop. She also like to drive it at full throttle...! <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
