I would suggest a wooden childs play train set...usually they come with wooden track too. I had a set like this as a child, but have no idea what it would be called. 5 sound a bit old to have a pull behind train, so that would be my suggestion.

Hi, my name is Elonna and my 5 year old son is a complete train enthusiast. I would like to start getting him involved in model trains but do not know anything about it myself. Does anyone have any suggestions for websites that will basically take me from the ground floor up in learning about how to start, what scale is best ot start learning with, etc? Any help or advice would be most appreciated.

Thank you
