BRIO My First Railway Beginner Pack - 18-Piece FSC-Certified Wood Train Set - Compatible with All BRIO Sets - Includes Rainbow Bridge & Rattle Wagon - Safe Play - Toddlers Ages 18 Months & OlderThe Forest Stewardship Council

Great Christmas gift for Grandson. I have recycled my daughter’s Brio toys to her children. Always will recommend

This is a great beginner set for a budding wooden train enthusiast. Brio makes a small number of "My First Railway" sets that are designed for younger toddlers (roughly 18 months).These "My First Railway" sets are nearly identical to the other Brio sets, but the trains and cars are constructed in a way that minimizes the likelihood of any small pieces falling or breaking off. For example, the magnets that connect the cars are fully enclosed beneath a plastic cap that is fused to the body of the car, so the magnet cannot come loose and become a choking hazard. The tracks appear identical to those found in other Brio sets. The track pieces fit together well: not too tight, but not too wobbly once connected. Included are several "ramp" pieces that allow train cars to be rolled onto the track from whatever surface the track is on. These are a nice touch, especially for small hands that may have difficulty getting the train cars onto the tracks otherwise.One of the track pieces is an over/underpass with a springy colorful section on the top. It doesn't really "do" anything, but I like that this piece is included because it helps teach concepts like "over," "under," and "through."There are two train cars included with the set: one is an engine, and the other has a clear cylindrical drum that can spin around and is filled with colorful beads. You really don't need more than two cars for a beginner set like this. You can always expand if your toddler seems to enjoy the train.Overall this is a very high quality, well constructed set that provides a wonderful introduction to the world of wooden trains! It isn't cheap, but with Brio you definitely get what you pay for. This set will be around for a long time.

First, we have a son and his family in Norway. Its so nice now to be able to order international gifts on Amazon! We love Brio! We had them, our children had them and now our grand children have them. Super quality and great international shipping experience.

Item was shipped to my home address before sending to my year old grandson for Christmas. I inspected the product before sending it. This is a great starter set for younger hands. A great value for the price, allowing for easy add-on and hours of fun play. Buyer may want to purchase an additional track pack, another locomotive and/or rolling stock with this item at the time of purchase.

Love the quality! They are definitely an investment if your child is a hard-core train lover.

He loves trains! So this is just perfect.keeps him entertained for hours! High quality and gift able or even can pass them down.

My 3-year-old grandson had such a blast with this set we gave him for Christmas, that we gave him one of the many age-appropriate expansion packs for his birthday. He loves his trains and we love playing with them together!

Train rides well on the tracks. Two months and he hasn't been able to break it - always a good sign. He enjoys it and it's well made - good gift purchase.
