Again, thank you! I think we do have a local hobby shop; I will try to go by there to see what I can learn. I don't think my son would know how to answer your question about what types of locomotives he would like! ha ha. He just knows trains are cool.....like I said, we are both rank beginners. Besides, believe it or not, he still believes in Santa Claus, and it is the big guy who will be giving the set for Christmas, so I can't really ask his opinion! I hope I can do well on my own. :) <br /> <br />One question......do you mean that *all* starter sets do not run well, or just cheaper ones? The previous post also suggested athearn and proto. I was looking at their websites, and they have sets more in my price range. (around $150) I am a single mother with a very low income, so even this is a big expense for me. I hope to get him a set that runs well, but that he can expand later. Just start learning about it simply. Thanks again for all the help!
