[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Bikerdad - era - steam or diesel, or combination, or something else (electric, traction, subway...???) - theme - rural or urban, big industry or small, freight or passenger? - industries you might want to have - small town, big city, one gigantic operation or many smaller? I wouldn't worry about the above. The Woodland Scenics sounds like a good idea, for loco and rolling stock get the Hogwarts set. The point is to ENGAGE his imagination, not bog down in details. If he's a Cub Scout, then you don't want to overwhelm him. [/quote] I didn't mean that the answers to the questions had to be limited to the examples above. Bikerdad, you are right - the answer to "theme" might be Hogwarts, or Thomas, or even "what if Saruman built a railroad in Middle Earth"... The questions were just a suggestion about a way to get started. Chiefbear - In model railroading you will find that there are many, many "right" answers to every question! The trick is to find what works for you. Andrew
