Wooden Train Set 12 Magnetic Train Cars & Engines 18 PCS Collection Animal Trains Circus Farm Safari Zoo Compatible w Thomas Brio Melissa & Doug Wooden Railway for Toddlers Kids

Awesome set. Will be getting more

Fun for 3 year old

I have a very old train table with some very old trains at my preschool and I wanted to renew the whole set. The Orbrium 18-piece train set is top quality. It comes with engines, carriages, and even little animals. This set is awesome! Each piece is well-engineered and beautifully painted. The kids love them. They are robust and all wooden. They're Perfect!

Very affordable

So I want to start off saying I love this train set, the quality, the trains, the accessories, and of course, the price. After this review, I'm going to pruchase some additional items from Orbrium from that adoration. The pieces are qualtiy made, the trains are heavy, everything is wood (except train wheel parts), the paint is durable, etc etc. It's a really nice simple set for the price, it's amazing. However it is not without fault; the images I've included correlate to that. Though, remember, all of this adds up to only a one star loss, but I feel it should be recorded. The least import picture is the mirror picture. All of the curved track pieces are indented train tracks on both sides, so you're not stuck with only a certain # of right vs left curves. However, this is only true for the cruves, for any non curved piece, it is only one sided (Though you can turn it to get the opposite orientation). The downfall of this, is that if that side becomes damged, unlike the curve pieces, it is essentially ruined. It just seems like a cost saving measure that hurts the consumer. Another small feature that could be improved is the road crossing piece (included in a picture). It's male connector piece is, for some reason, unlike any other one. Though it still functions, it's odd. Lastly, the biggest concern of mine, and arguably could of taken 2, or more, stars total, is the track pieces provided. The track is assymetrical in the pieces provided. In a picture provided, (the one with 5 different tracks) it shows single piece, AND SINGLE SIZE, pieces (A comparison of the straight piece and road crossing piece is provided to show that they even aren't the same size). This is problematic if you plan to make any other track not from the box. Because of the next factor, (the last two photos) given the momentum of the train, the train cannot safely come down from the bridge without derailing, unless it is done in the manner in the pictures provided. Either with the longest straight piece provided, or with the longer curve piece. The problem however, is that because of it being assymetrical and including junction pieces, a custom track cannot be completed that won't derail, without buying extra pieces, or not including the bridge. Even the box example derails the train. So why do I still give it 4 stars? Because given the quality, the care, and the love that they, and my son gives to it, is worth 4 stars. I wanted to give it 2 for shorting us pieces, but they included a bridge that was unique, but broke the track, so I've decided not to punish them for making a unique, albeit slightly "broken" track. And at the price point, I don't believe it can be beat. If you get the additional track pieces, this set is beyond phenomenal. Without it, it's still a fun play set if you don't mind the occasional derailing.

Awesome set! Inspires imagination and creative play. Purchased as gift for 2 year old - he loves it!

Already searching for more to add to our collection. The fact that the box serves as storage and a part of the play is the best. All of the pieces are a nice wood material. 5/5 stars, love it!

This set is fun, cute, and good quality. My kids are 8 and 4 and play with it together.
