FYI, I had my first HO at age 5, though that is a bit younger than most would recommend.
Also, did you know that there is a Tomas line of HO trains? My boys started w/ battery powered Thomas w/ plastic track, but quickly graduated to HO. One still likes the Thomas version, and the other twin prefers DCC sound steam locomotives
(that, unlike Thomas, cost a lot).
PRR is famous; you will have no trouble adding to that set.
