Tesco Wooden Train Set

...son was given was from Tesco and comprised wooden track in a figure of eight, complete with hump-backed bridge where the tracks crossed, a wooden engine and three carriages, plus a couple of buildings, animals and trees. The sections of track fitted together quite easily but loosely enough that now, age 3, my son is able to put it together himself. They are reasonably robust, and wipe-clean, but we have suffered one or two sections where the piece ...
...add more items from the Tesco range because they are so reasonably priced. I believe that the original set was around £10, although I looked for it in Tesco today and couldn't find that exact set. We have added the "station play set", which was £9.43. This includes a raised station platform and a waiting room, with ascending and descending track on each side. There is a tunnel under the station, so as the train approaches you, err, my son, can decide ...

Review of Tesco Wooden Train Set

Tesco Wooden Train Set If you're looking for a new toy with which to amuse your little one, look no further than your local Tesco. These train sets state they are suitable for 3yrs+ though as with all toys it's up to you as a parent to decide if your slightly younger child would be safe with it. I bought my son his first Tesco Train Set six months ago, just after he'd turned 2yrs. He loved it so much I went out and bought a second set yesterday ...
...buy little motorised ones from Tesco at the moment however there's not much point reviewing those to any great extent as the last ones are being sold off as I type! For £3 you can lay your hands on a power locomotive that's compatible with this set if you're quick! COMPATIBLE BRANDS You should that both The Early Learning Centre trains and track sets as well as the Brio versions should be compatible with the Tesco wooden trains and track. In all ...

Review of Tesco Wooden Train Set

...As well as train sets, Tesco also has a wide range of wooden accessories for the set. You can buy an extra train carriage for less than a pound, a whole train and animals for £3.75, a signal box for around the same price and many other things. You can buy additional track to add on to your railway in various sized boxes, mostly costing under £10. These are ideal presents for children who already have a wooden train set. The train set comes in a ...
...Wooden train sets are available in lots of other stores but are often over-priced. Tesco sets are of the same standard for a fraction of the price. Find this in your local branch of Tesco, or visit www.tesco.com for information on Tesco stores, offers and help. ...

Review of Tesco Wooden Train Set

...at the toy secion in Tesco to see if there was anything suitable for nephew who was turning 3 years old. It was here I discovered that Tesco do a wooden train set which is compatible with other brands. After very close inspection I decided it looked just as good quality as the ELC and for a fraction of the price. On this occasion I bought a zoo train which included an engine, 3 carriages and 3 wooden animals to sit in the train carriages. This cost ...

Review of Tesco Wooden Train Set

...In my opinion, the Tesco train sets are just as good as the well known brands, such as Brio, but at a fraction of the price. Tescos may not sell such a wide variety of items as the Brio sets, but what do you expect, it's a supermarket! The only downside i have found, is that the track does sometimes come apart, but i put this down to the fact that my son is climbing all over the tracks (baby on the line... trains are running late!), rather than ...

Review of Tesco Wooden Train Set

Santa bought my four year old the lovely mountain train set made by tesco. He desperately wanted a train set and when we were in Toysrus we would look at the brio sets and then look around the other toys. It was not unitl near to Christmas that I actually decided to look at the price. I was horrified to discover how expensive brio train sets were. I looked in several other shops ELC etc but they too were too expensive. I found a cheap set in ASDA ...
...or even near to the quality, so I decided not to buy the train set from there either. When we were shopping in Tescos my son pointed out the train sets and took a real interest in a lovely mpuntain train set which had had a wooden train set, a little bridge, wooden animals, trees, tunnels, trains, carriages,sign and mountains all for £24.99. This was perfect in every respect. The quality is brilliant and comes with extras for real imaginative playing. ...
