Tess, Stewart makes a nice product -- quiet, reliable runners -- but they are kits that require at least an intermediate level of applying the details. If you choose to purchase a Stewart I would also suggest contacting a local model railroad club to see if there are any members willing to put the details on for you. Atlas makes an excellent Trainmaster -- a 2400 horsepower, six axle diesel built by Fairbanks Morse in the 1950's. Like others, I would suggest avoiding the trainset stuff. Here is an idea. Why not purchase a top of the line locomotive, a couple of brass cars and a one year membership at a local model railroad club. That way he does not have to wait until he builds a layout to run his train. Living in Reading, I am sure there are HO clubs that model Reading nearby. And this is the season when they have their open houses.
