I Want To Start My Kid With A Train Set Next Year For Christmas ( He'll Be Almost Three) I Hope He Gets Into It And It Becomes A Tradition. I Don't Know Where To Get Started. Any Help?

Get something BIG. Like lionel, or LGB....something that little fingers can handle. Lionel is a good starter set because it is big, and if it comes off the track, his little hands can rerail it fairly easy, thus, less frustration, and he likes it. Kids turn off on anything if the frustration factor is high enough. Do a search for Lionel on Ebay, or, better yet, find a good local hobby shop and stop in. Lionel is big enough, that for the moment, you can just set it up on the floor.....hope this helps.....BnB
