I have an 11 year old son, his best friend, and a six year old who all want to build kits. What would be the best kits to use?
I'm of two minds here. My cheap side says to use HO kits. My 11 year old whizzes through Athearn "kits", so Intermountain or Red Caboose might be the way to go. On the other hand, building S scale kits supports "our" manufacturers and they can run the finished results on a layout. I do have several PRS/Gold Coast kits that I'll let them use (an advantage to having a stash of kits that don't fit into my era). Are there other kits more appropriate for beginners? I'm not interested in prototype fidelity here, as I just want to get them introduced to kit building with something that won't totally empty my pockets and won't be too frustrating for them to figure out. Building structures might be an option too, especially the NASG kit, but I think they'd prefer to have something that will run on tracks.
