Yes, and we go a bit further. When a parent(s) has small kids with them or
mention the younger kids (includinf grandparents), we also put in a plug for the
Dupo trains, both 'push' and the battery-powered sets as starter sets til the
child becomes older and ready for the 'L' gage sets.
We have an example on our layout:
