We got the wooden train set from Target last year. The one this year looks pretty cool. It seems that all the wooden ones are interchangable, although a friend of mine had a hard time with the Ikea track fitting with other models. While my son likes his train set, I have found that he would much rather play with his friend's Geo Trax. They run with a little remote and they are colorful and plastic. They are not the "classic" train, but are so much cooler to him... Something to consider.
