Hi, <br /> <br />I am looking for some advice and opinions. A long time ago, 1976 to be exact, I received an HO scale train set. At the time I only had track on a piece of plywood, but it brought me alot of enjoyment at age 9. Of course it was short lived and we had to move. I was never able to set it up again. <br />Fast forward present day.....I now have some room, maybe 4x8 give or take, that is if the wife gives or takes, to have a layout. I want to share this experience with my boys. They are ages 12, 8 and almost 4. <br />Now for the opinions. What age is good to start the boys out at and what scale do you think would be best? I did talk to a local hobby shop last year and they recommended 13 at a minimum. They also recommended the O scale which is well out of my price range. I thought that that was strange, but I have been out of it for a long time. I can really use any help that is out there. <br /> <br />Thanks for your time. <br /> <br />Darrick
