Hi, I forgot to mention that he will be almost 8 by Christmas, but a very smart 8. I will certainly take your advice, and look into the 2-8-0 sets. Are these sets N/S e-z tracks?

update: I just checked out those 2-8-0 sets, and they indeed come with N/S track.

I am thinking of purchasing a train set for my grandson and was wondering which train sets come with the N/S e-z track. I was also looking at the Overland Limited along with the extra box of N/S track to start out, but I am not sure of which track comes with the Overland. Also would there be a better set to start out with? I have not been associated with trains since I was a kid. Thanks for the advice.
