Advantages: adds interest

Disadvantages: side might become weak eventually

Come on join me playing with the Brio train set again. This time it's a loads wagon 33654 that I am playing with. The load's wagon is a bright red. It is an open carriage suitable for transporting many things.
This Brio wagon suitable for a child aged over 3 years old.

This wagon measures 3.35 inches /8cm. The wagon base is beech wood the open carriage is red plastic. The side wall of the carriage can flip down by pressure on the side clips. In side the carriage there is a green metal cylinder this can be picked up by a magnetic crane. At the ends of the carriage are magnetic couplers. This carriage will be attracted to a brio train and can be pulled along the railway line.

At one end of this wagon is a south magnet pole at the other end a north one so your child will need the carriage turned the right way for the engine to pull. If positioned the other way they will not attract if the weight inside the carriage is not too great, it will repel the magnet at the other side.

This carriage will add extra fun to a brio set. Unfortunately this set comes with only one piece of magnetic load, however my children being inventive will use other things such as small bricks, pasta, rice any small item really.

This wagon is quite durable, but I can see the side clip getting worn and possibly broken eventually.

I think this is a good addition to a Brio railway set. This wagon carriage costs £4.29p from Amazon. Its £3.95 at http://www.woodentoystore.co.uk , it is available at a lot of other places on or off line for the £4 to £ 5 mark.

I really like Brio wooden train sets so do both my children at work and my grandson although at 6 nearly he does not play with them as often as he used to. I love to sit watch and listen to the children talking. They will spend ages moving the trains around picking up and unloading goods.
So would I recommend this toy ? Yes if your child has or is going to have Brio train track , trains or the brio compatible ones from other companies.

Summary: A wagon for Brio tyrains that has a side which lowers and a "log"
