Not all 5-year old are alike, but most of them will not be able to concentrate on one toy for any longer period of time. Running a train on an oval of track and a little bit of switching will most likely catch the little one´s attention for, say, 10 to 15 minutes, but it will get boring soon - unless there is more play value attached and he can actually do something with the trains, like loading unloading, adding figures as passengers and the like. HO scale trains are not very well suited for this type of playing, but O gauge as well as Lego or Playmobil trains are. When my son turned 5, I bought him a Playmobil train set, adding to other Playmobil toys he already had. Once he knew how to set it up, he would be out of sight for hours, playing with it. The "liitle one" will be turning 30 next month ....
