About this deal
It's one of the more expensive train sets in this guide, however you do get a lot for your money - it's a big set with plenty to do, so the kids will never be bored! The Brio Deluxe Railway Set is a must-have for any train lover, it features a complete set of passenger trains, freight trains, stations, cranes, bridges, figures and much more!
The tracks will stay “clamped” for about a minute and the track pieces will pop out of the clamp, making the track come apart on all of the raised portion of the track.Being wood there is natural movement so some pieces tilt slightly up some down some are perfectly flat but try building a seamless track for the admittedly excellent quality trains they produce without them snagging somewhere is nigh on impossible and as such extremely frustrating. To do this, we transfer the required information regarding how you have used our offers to our partners. In addition, the wood that they use is treated and sealed, so any spills or mishaps are more easily dealt with than with similar train sets from other brands. However, we do have a word of warning with regard to the quality control - some of the edges and joins on the expansion pack that we tested did have a few splinters and rough patches on the cuts.
Cheaper woods tend to splinter or distort over time, which may be an issue if the quality control is substandard. Sound, light and action are combined to create cause-and-effect chain reactions, telling little stories in the process. There is a train station complete with pulley elevator, a tunnel, and another train stop/vestibule with doors that open and close.
As well as the Beginners Train Set, there's also a few other offerings from BRIO that are well worth considering. This set includes 'standard' toddler toys, such as a xylophone, a puzzle and a bead maze, and incoporates these really well into the overall train set.
