I see too many boxcars. At the age of five a fleet of flatcars and gondola to put things in are the key to kid fun. And a minimum of two sidings, at different areas. The coal loader will rapidly become boring. As will most accessories, with the exception of a remote controlled crane to load and unload. A crane never gets boring. And promotes development of a child's dexterity.
I also like the robotic arm, which could be another accessory to load and unload cargo. They are relatively inexpensive.
Funny that you mentioned that! He already owned one before RR started and we have about 13 gondolas they are a kids best friend. Flat cars are kinda short only have about 6. I need a scale size crane for the layout. His tower crane is a little bit much. But it does clean up derailments. He is a little Different he doesn't like to run them fast at all ZERo. I will sometimes I was probably more responsible for what speed lessons we have learned. And weeding out couplings that unlock under heavy loads is something nobody here mentioned But I have it fixed now.
