Advantages: good track

Disadvantages: none

My grandson now ages 5 ½ has moved on to playing with small Lego. He loves trains, has spent many happy hours playing with both brio and duplo trains. He is not quite old enough for Hornby oo model trains he would love to play with granddads model trains but they would soon get destroyed. So for his 5th birthday we have started to build a Lego electric train set buying him a train and some rail enough to make a small circuit.

Amongst the items we bought was a pack of curved rails. This pack includes 8 pieces of track and costs £11.99 from http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=4520. These curves are 5 inches long and will make half a circle when joined together. . Each piece has 5 sleepers between the rails .The tracks will conduct electricity to allow the 9v Lego trains to run. These tracks are compatible for the newer Lego RC trains.

These train tracks are fairly easy to put together the rails just slide together and clip in place. To undo the tracks will just slide away from each other when pulled lightly.
They are fairly robust would not enjoy rough treatment but should survive many standard play hours.
The trains run smoothly on these tracks when they are fitted together with other pieces of tracks.

Curves are really a good addition to Lego 9v train sets. These curves will allow circuits behind granddads chair, around the coffee table legs taking the passengers on the train for adventures around nanas sitting room. At home the train runs on the bedroom carpet under the bed round these curves back under the bed and completes its circuit by the toy box.
Adrian enjoys this Lego train and the curves make the track more versatile. His sister aged 2 would love to get to these tracks and the train but Adrian forbids her as she is too young and only messes up his carefully laid circuits .

Yes I would recommend these Lego curved tracks for anyone who is thinking of getting Lego 9v trains.

Lego trains and track are available on line and in many toy shops. I would recommend these train track curves Lego trains are good play value

Summary: some curved lego rail track
