Advantages: brio trains are great

Disadvantages: I prefer the classic trains

It’s the computer age so Brio classic wooden train sets are trying to keep up with the times.

One of the more modern trains Brio have produced is the EMO’s (Email officers) transporter. This is a set of a train and two carriages. The train is a sleek looking blue vehicle designed for speed, the carriages are both email blue too. The carriages are simple with a slot along the centre top. In this slot your child can slot the email messages that are to be delivered.

With the train you also get a net worker figure and 2 emails which the net worker figure can hold in his /her hand when delivering them.

This train will add a little extra to the Classic set adding more play opportunities. The net worker figure can ride the train and send the messages.

Your child does not need a computer to play with this train as it runs on a classic old fashioned brio system.
If your child wishes to hear the messages he/she will need a mail reader, this is a block with a slot the email message in and a place for the net worker figure to stand. The email messages can be heard using the rail hub that is available. This set does not come with a mail reader, or hub.


You do not need the extra sets with this train but I think some of them would be good if your child is to get full value.

There are packs of email message, A mail reader , A mail hub, , funky modern looking net workers to go with this set . Some of these figures are the baddies the viruses.

Brio trains are well made, and classic toys that will last a generation or two they last well are durable... My grandson has many brio trains and has spent hours playing with them. This train is suitable for a child aged 3 and over although a slightly younger child may play with it too. My grandson aged 5 still plays with his wooden brio trains but not as much as he used to.
Brio trains are compatible with the Tesco range of brio trains and tracks, also with the Hero sets and the ELC train sets


The basic emo transporter set that I described is available at many places

It’s a £11.97 from http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brio-33286000-BRIO-33286- Transporter/dp/B000EGFSVQ/ref=pd_bxgy_k_h_b_cs_tex t_b/202-5450309-3744640

http://www.amazon.com/Brio-33286000-Network-EMO%2 527s- Transporter/dp/B000EGFSVQ has it reduced from the RRP of 24$ to 12$

£8.49 from http://www.littlenuttreetoys.co.uk /buy-toys.php? item=411.

To be honest I prefer the classic old fashioned Brio wooden train sets but maybe that’s because I am not completely switched on to the computer age.

Summary: Brio moves in to the computer age
