Fully compatible to other popular train set brands. You'll get a lot and save big with this great train set.
As parents, we know that heirloom quality toys that grow your child's mind are a good investment. Any logically thinking consumer knows that it is desirable not to break the bank to get the "great" stuff when you can get "really great" stuff at a rock bottom low price.
The optimal experience in train play can be affordable, heirloom quality and mind inspiring - we know because we've seen it, and we've played with it. This Melissa and Doug Railway Set fits the bill.
Fully compatible with other well-known train sets; Melissa & Doug's Railway Set may be used with Thomas and Friends Wood Railway System, Brio Wood Railway System, Maxim Trains and most other wooden train sets! Melissa & Doug's high quality train set is ideal as a base set, or a perfect choice for adding loads of versatile pieces to the train set you already own!
Put a Melissa & Doug Wooden Train in front of them and watch what happens. Kids roll into inspiring creative play and logical thinking!
Children guide colorful engines, coal cars, freight cars, and caboose around great lengths of curves & straight track, whizzing by workers, trees and traffic signs. They steer engines in to fill the expansive roundhouse engine shed. Concentrating intently, they lift and carry railroad cars and freight with magnetic tipped cranes. Watch closely and you'll see decision-making in action as they change an engine's course at switch tracks and pass boxcars at T-junctions. Eyes light up as they rise above the lower train track and then journey across a suspension bridge or trestle bridge. Finished?...no, it's time to spin the turntable and send another colorful train engine cruising down the track.
Well-designed action pieces take your child's imagination great distances. This extensive railway set will absolutely captivate young minds and keep little engineers occupied for hours! (See below for a complete list of included pieces.)
Melissa & Doug wooden toys inspire imaginations and play that lasts for generations. This wooden railroad is constructed with careful attention to detail in colorful, child-friendly design. Watch as kids crowd your train table to play with the high interest pieces!
Pick Up this Wooden Train...Choo Choo! Fun is Full Steam Ahead!

As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 3 years of age.

Best railroad set around!

This is such a great set ... We gave it to our train-loving three year old, but all of the older members of the family have had a great time with it too. It has lots of very interesting pieces that make for lots of fun building tracks and playing with them afterwards. The cranes, bridges and train shed are all great favorites and they are well made so I expect they will last for a long time. This was completely compatible with our other wooden tracks and all of the various trains meant to go with them. I definitely recommend this as a great buy!

This train set was purchased by me for my boss's 3 year old nephew. She was thrilled with it and is certain her nephew will be too. Also, it was received in such a timely manner we were truly impressed!

I can't see he plays with it yet because it is a Christmas present but he has seen one and would love to have one. I know he will play with is non stop because he bit into trains (whether it's Thomas or not). I did open the box to check to make sure all the pieces are there and they are. It arrived in excellent condition and the pieces themselves seem very well made. I haven't put it together yet so I can't say how good they stay together. But so far I'm impressed.
Nice set!

Very good quality. It's one of the most reasonably-priced train sets available. It arrived very promptly and in good shape.

Our daughter loves her new train set. We gave it to her for her 3rd birthday (although she would have loved it sooner). We adults have a blast coming up with new track layouts for her to ride the rails on. And she likes to create earthquakes and similar situations that precipitate a rail disaster. I like the fact that she will be able to grow with it, too.
There are only two issues we have found with the set. One of the track pieces (the one that goes in front of the roundhouse with the multiple tracks leading into one) is warped. And it seems to be getting worse the longer it's out of the package. I suspect that the piece of wood itself wasn't dried enough prior to being manufactured.
The other issue is that the trains themselves don't have independent axles (like the Thomas Trains do) so they tend to derail easier. That's a cost-saving issue, I'm sure. What I do like is that this set is compatible with many other sets so I can just buy the train itself and it will work fine on these tracks.
Overall, we're thrilled with the volume of track and the quality of the materials. We have a Brio train table and don't have enough room for all the track. Imagine!
