Lego 9v Train Tracks: Cross Track for 9v Trains

...My grandson now ages 5 ½ has moved on to playing with small Lego. He loves trains, has spent many happy hours playing with both brio and duplo trains. He is not quite old enough for Hornby oo model trains he would love to play with granddads model trains but they would soon get destroyed. So for his 5th birthday we have started to build a Lego electric 5v train set buying him a train and some rail enough to make a small circuit. Amongst the items we bought was a pack of curved rails.

...Our daughters were given this at Christmas and it is one of those toys that has been played with nearly every day - not bad after more than a month. WHAT IS IT? As well as over thirty pieces of track and a train, the set also contains cars, buses, an ambulance, a police car, road signs, telegraph poles, buildings, a level crossing, a bridge, trees and simple little people-shaped figures. It is almost entirely wooden and brightly painted in a variety of appealing colours. The train tracks slot together in a jigsaw manner which is simple enough for little hands to do themselves. The train and carriages connect using magnets, so no complicated catches or fastenings there either. PLAY VALUE The variety of pieces are conducive to an array of imaginative scenarios, the track can be formed into a variety of permutations... Read review
