Brio Wooden Train Sets

This is such a fantastic durable fun toy set. I bought the large set for my grand daughter for Xmas. Even though it's meant to be for 3 plus (she is 18 months) she just loves it and up to a point, knows what to do. This is the large set they do (as far as I know) and comes with it's own table and has loads of track, bridges, viaducts, a crane and sidings. The table is self assembly but you get everything you need to build it (screw driver, screws, Allen Key etc.). Build time is around half an hour, so that's not a problem either. The bridge makes different sounds as the train passes through which adds enormously to the ...  Read the complete review

We came by a brio wooden train track and trains when my childminder stopped childminding. She sold us her complete brio set for about £25. Little did I know then what a wonderful toy it was going to become for my son. There was a lot of wooden track pieces, including a couple of bridges and some accessories, such as trees, wooden characters and some brio wooden trains. Things I think are great about the brio train set: 1) It's built to last.... and last.... My childminder had had the set for about 15 years and it's still in great condition. Some of the trains are a tiny bit worn to look at, but still perfectly good for playing with and no broken ...  Read the complete review

l am thinking of putting a beware sign out side my front door! Not because you are in danger of been eaten by our two wonderful dogs (they will only lick you to death) and the cat next door has taken to only ambushing the postman now. But since those cold winter days when Christmas was upon us, my once so called lounge has become a rail network that British Rail would be envious of. For there snaking across the carpet are miles and miles of wooden track that mysteriously seem to be expanding every time l turn my back. My suspicions lay with my better half who seems to have taken great pride in his work of art. This track is equally admired by our ...  Read the complete review
