I'd recommend some of the battery-powered train sets, as others have mentioned. The Brio and Fisher Price trains that others have mentioned are good for kids, but I'd personally go with the battery-powered sets. They're much bigger, they have more in common with a real train than do the others and it would be longer before they outgrow them. I'd personally recommend the large G scale sets, although the O gauge sets are good, too. Companies that make battery-powered G scale sets are New Bright, Goldlok and Echo Toys. Some of the Goldlok G scale sets use a simple infrared remote control that you put batteries in. The K-Line O gauge set also uses this system, as do a few other O gauge sets. Of course, the K-Line sets might perhaps be better because they have diesels. Most of the other sets have old 1800's-style steam engines and a diesel would be something that your granddaughters would relate to more.
