BRIOWorld Cargo Railway Deluxe - Wooden Track Train Set - Battery-Powered Engine, 3 Cranes, Bridge, Truck - Kids Ages 3+ - Compatible with All BRIO Sets - FSC Certified Wood - 54-PiecesThe Forest Stewardship Council

I bought this set for my 3 year old train enthusiast for his birthday. He loves the set, both when assembled as pictured and when used as individual pieces. It comes in a really nice green plastic box with locking handles, and everything needed to build the set is included, except for one AA battery and a tiny screwdriver (we used a phillips head). The layout size, when built, is a lot smaller than the average train table (see picture) so if you want to fill the table you’ll have to add some extra track.The set includes:-- Track: Enough/all track pieces included to build the pictured layout.-- 2 engines: One red battery powered engine, and a blue non powered engine. The red engine has a simple switch that makes it go forwards or backwards. My 3 year old has no trouble operating the switch by himself, and the engine is powerful enough to make it up the hills with all three cargo cars attached.-- 3 cargo train cars: There are three cargo car bases that are interchangeable with the included cargo. Note that other cargo (such as from the Brio hay wagon or cargo ship set) will not work with these cargo cars.-- 3 unique pieces of cargo: One is a tank of gasoline, which is unique and really cute. The other two are wood blocks with a red and green plastic crate that slides on and off. The magnets on the cranes work through the plastic crates, and my son loves sliding the cargo in and out of their crates.-- 1 cargo truck: This little truck is full of great details as well. It can hold one piece of the included cargo in it’s bed, and it also has a tiny magnet in the front bumper that allows it to drive up and attach to the truck loading crane. The hood also lifts up to reveal the engine underneath.-- 3 cranes: These are really the highlight of this set. Each crane is really unique, and they have provided hours of fun for both kids and parents in our house. The gantry crane is wide enough to fit over two lines of track, and can slide back and forth and raise/lower the magnet. The truck loading crane picks up cargo from the train, drops it onto a slide that then dumps the cargo into the back of the cargo truck. Very cool! These cranes also work with all other magnetized cargo (Brio, Thomas, etc). We even tested with some lumber cargo that’s an odd size/shape and it was no problem (see picture).-- 7 supports: These supports have no grip and are somewhat wobbly, so the track can pretty easily fall off (especially around the curves). However, my son LOVES when this happens and says “Oh no, the bridge is out” which is adorable. Crisis averted.-- 1 signal: Can be changed from red to green.-- 1 track bumper: Nice little piece to end track lines. We haven’t seen these in many sets so it’s nice to have.-- 1 bridgeWe have been very happy with this set and I would definitely purchase it again.

We got this set for our almost 2 year old grandson about 6 months ago. He loves it! It's all you need to have a fairly large fully functioning train layout. We like the way the tracks go together smoothly and all the accessories are a fun addition. The engine it comes with will pull all the cars at one time. You won't be disappointed.

These are very high quality. They easily withstand my 2 and 4 year old boys playing with them roughly. The wood is real, not a composite, so they do not peal or break. My kids love playing with them.

A great mixture of types of train tracks. Also, love the different trains that come in the set. There is one battery operated train which my kiddo loves!

This was a Christmas gift for our grandson He loves Magnets first of all to make things so with these he just love having them go all over the place..We FaceTime with him while he is playing with them. Mind you he was only 2yrs 4mos at Christmas but there hands are still small so they are easy to graspI have not seen any sharp edges on any of them the wood seams good the only down side and I hear this from the parents is …Battery life!!! Our grandson loves to hear them even when they are on there side not going nowhere.. so May on your future ones you come up with a mechanism inside the train that if it’s not vertical after a moment or two it shuts off. Therefore not wearing the batteries down. Lol. Just a suggestion

This is a good set - bought it for my grandson and he loves it.

Very easy to assemble and from the moment I put it together, my grandson played with it and didn't stop. That was before I put the batteries in the train. Once he discovered that, he enjoyed it even more. My point being that this a toy that is enjoyed by children, even without batteries. The quality is great, pieces fit together nicely, and colors are vibrant. I would recommend putting it on a board though. On carpeting the track pieces can shift up and down and cause derailment. My only negative is that the train motor seems to be a little underpowered, it struggles a little on the hills, but is functional. My grandson is almost 4 and just loves this train!

Kiddo love these, started using them maybe at 1 yr old and still plays with them today at 2.5
