Comments.Text: If your kid loves trains, and Lego, I'd save my money for the system trains, which he'll be able to use in a couple years. Buy one or two duplo train sets, or get them used, but they don't last long, whereas the system train is an investment that will pay off for years, IMHO.

  I recently bought the **10508** train set for my 3 year old and he just loves playing with it. I am aware of the **10507** and **10506** sets to expand further.
  
  Are there any other resources available to buy locomotives / coaches and track pieces, bridges, etc. that are not part of the above 2 mentioned sets but will work with the **10508** set?
