This Brio starter rail set is brilliant for toddlers age 18 months and up as they like to take the train off the track drive it around the room to bring it back onto the track again with the ramps provided. It is also very clever as the magnets on the train and carriage can be attached either way so it won't frustrate your little one as the train will always connect. This set can be expanded in time to create a large net work of rail with stations, cranes , junctions, garages, tunnels and much more. We have other brands as well which can be added as most railway systems are compatible. 

Our children have a large range of Train and Rail accessories, at first they just love to play with the trains but the older they got the more it became about the designing of the rail network, where to put the station, tunnel, junction, etc. Lots of problem solving and imagination for up to age 10 and even for us adults it's brilliant fun !! We still have all our collection in our attic which comes out when little ones come to visit as it is virtually impossible to break.
