Starting Your Model Train Collection

Train sets are classic toys that children have enjoyed from generation to generation, and are perhaps one of the most loved playthings grandparents, parents, aunts, and uncles love to give as gifts to little ones. When buying a train set, you should take note of the following considerations:

• Consider the child’s age and maturity level. Younger children may not need train sets that are as elaborate or ornate as what an adult collector may want.

• The more technical and elaborate train sets are often meant to be collector items, which means they are designed to be displayed and not for play.

• Train sets that are meant for play are usually simpler and can be kept and stored easily. They often have smoother edges so kids won’t get hurt while playing with them.

• Train models that need to be assembled are for older children and adult hobbyists. Small parts pose choking hazards and are not safe for little kids.
