Welcome back to Big Blue, Matthew, and also to fatherhood.
My kids were never much interested in model trains, but several of my grandkids were, or still are, interested.
Sorry to hear that your trains were stolen, particularly when current prices have risen severely from what they used to be. While in many ways they're a lot better, it's still possible to find older stuff at decent prices, and then simply upgrade them somewhat. I seldom buy the high-end stuff, as I prefer to re-work older stuff with better details, and better paint and lettering, too.
I think that you'll settle in nicely, and get back in you groove with a fresh start.
