Bought my 4 year old the little lionel polar express. set it up for Christmas morning. He had taken my scout set off the track and tried to push it on the floor so he is not ready for real ones yet. He ran his set constantly all day Christmas day and starts it first thing the next morning. He runs it off the track and on the hardwood and says it is the scene where the train was running on the frozen lake. He will likely be ready for an O scale next year. Glad I just got him this set this year and not a real one. He is real pleased. I am too. I could have gotten him GEo trax but those trains do not have significance to him like the polar express does.
