Purchased a Piko steam engine starter set for my autistic son. He's really into trains.. he draws train, watch train in youtube, he creates designs railway layout in Train Simulator software, do trains using lego etc. We purchased numerous number, I lost count, of the plastic train toys. At the moment there two plastic train sets, I think we have thrown more than 50 sets. Anyway.. he's into steam trains only.. not diesel or electric.

I think he can spend the whole day enjoying some of you guys fantastic setup. I get to know about the local shops selling these kind of trains from this thread. TQ guys. Initially I thought of getting a hornby set online but I think it's better if I can see & test it physically. I knew about hornby because my late grandfather have a set of mallard hornby & played with it when I was 6-7 yrs old. Dunno what happened to the set.

Contemplated to purchase the digital upgradeable starter set but I'm not sure how my son will take care of it and it is expensive in the first place. He normally take a great care of his stuff but I just don't want to take the risk. If he really likes it then maybe I can add tracks and caboose later. I also checked out the shop at Paradigm mall & they have cool stuff but the one in Dai Kong is more affordable.
