QUOTE (BRITHO @ 22 Oct 2008, 16:01) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Grahame, I think you may have missed the point. My understanding is that clive is looking for a gift for his son, and therefore needs something he can handle as a starter in the hobby. I agree that ballasting is not that difficult, boring yes, but it is not what a beginner wants to do initially, what he will want to do, I suspect, is play with it.
No I haven't. Apart from the fact that the conversation/subject always tends to drift in forum threads, Peco is an ideal track system for beginners. The set track option has, without doubt, excellent play value and is available in 'starter sets' plus can be ballasted at a later date to look more realistic than the, what I consider to be horrid and plasticky, more expensive pre-ballasted stuff.

It's all relative really - whats the point of having 'bomb-proof' track when most rolling stck these days can easily be damaged by picking up up incorrectly?

That rather precludes them from ever purchasing any new stock in the future...........
