thanks guys , I took another look and now I am wondering about the Marklin startup system. https://www.maerklinshop.de/maerklin/maerklin-start-up/?p=1

Thanks for the sermon David , it is very helpful. Thanks everyone for the other comments. I have been looking online and it seems that the lego system addresses your point in that anything made from lego can be dismantled and rebuilt in a different form . There are lego train collectors out there doing that. I am thinking of a lego train system to be followed by an 00 scale set in a few years. The problem I see with LGB is our weather !!

Thanks Galteemore . He is 4 .

Hello all , anyone any opinions about the best way to introduce a child to the hobby. He is too young for the finescale models we like ,so what might be the best beginners system . Lego train ( maybe in the garden ) ? OO scale starter set ( eg. jouef junior set ) ? 6x4 layout somewhere in the house ? any thoughts?

the market is so small here that it clearly would not be viable to manufacture locally . With the exception of ECM trains . The RTR market is peculiar to railway modelling. I have a small quantity of ROCO minitanks. When they were supplied (almost )fully assembled by Herpa , the more expensive ones would cost about 45 euros. Now I can buy a kit of parts for the same model from a shop in Germany (Arsenalm) for 20 euros.

I'm sure you are right , but it might be interesting to know what the cost difference would be.
-
If assembly costs are a large part of the cost , I would be happy to assemble pre finished kits as per the KATO models example. I have a couple of MM locos and they came with small packets of parts to be fitted by the purchaser .

got this 47' flat from shapeways recently. it will easily pass the 2ft test. , though it does not have large flat panels like a coach would have.
