thank you all of you for your help. I will look into the references for using the # 5 turnout before going back to the model train store to get the turnouts. We do have a sizable train table for his layout - 6' x 8', we made it that big so that we could have some room to grow AND keep the track from being right on the edge so our little guy (who is 18 months) can quite reach the track!
I remember playing with my dad's train table when I was a child and how much fun it was. I am not sure who is having more fun with this, my 5 year old or me! He truly loves trains, it started out with Thomas and friends and now has moved into all kinds of model steam trains. I look at it as being much better than sitting around playing video games like so many kids his age.
