Short and straight Brio track.

Advantages: Usefull pieces of rail
Disadvantages: None

...Brio Mini straight tracks . These small pieces of straight track are actually a very useful addition to a Brio track. Thee are 4 pieces in this pack http://www.thelittlehencompany.com are selling it for £3.95. There are many other online shops selling this for similar prices. Just search for the best deal. These mini straight rails are not all the same 2 of the pieces of rail have at opposite ends one male/lug and one female /hole joining part 1 of the other pieces has two female /holes joining parts , the remaining piece has both ends with a male /lug joining part. Each piece is small and measures 54 mm 2? These pieces are as I said incredibly useful. If you are constructing an elaborate railway circuit then you may well find you have left a very small space to fit a piece of track or you are stuck with two male /lug...

A Brio wagon for those heavy loads

Go up the ramp and stop

Advantages: good addition to a wooden railway
Disadvantages: none

...BRIO Stop and Ramp Tracks can be bought at the toy store http://www.woodentoystore.co.uk/brio.php for only £4.95p you can purchase it from this store via Amazon or direct from the store. Amazon say the RRP Iis £12.71 My 6 year old grandson has quite a lot of brio track including this stop and ramp track; he has had this train set since he was 3. He is not playing with it as much as he was but his little sister plays with it now. Brio train sets are fantastic the wooden trains and tracks well made will last a long time. When my grandchildren have finished playing with them, I expect my daughter will sell them on for a good price, or most likely keep them for the next generation in nearly mint condition although they have been played with for many hours. The brio stop and ramp track just adds a little more interest to the track...

...Does your Matchbox car need to cross the Brio railway line ? If so then go to the 33388 BRIO Railway Crossing .

Bright and Brilliant Brio Blocks

Advantages: Tactile, striking, appealing, useful, develop children's skills
Disadvantages: A little pricey maybe

...The other reviews in this section have dealt with Brio's most famous range...their trainsets. Brio also produce a whole range of other toys which are also available on their website and this review is for one of the products I particularly like. BRIO 30156 Wooden Toys: 50 Coloured Blocks Wooden blocks have to be the most enduring toy for young children. I have fond memories of my basic wooden building blocks which I used up until the age of 8 or 9, creating bridges, castles, houses, dragon?s lairs and all the other props necessary to the action I was imagining. So when my daughter was born, we bought her a set. So did my mum. So did my husband?s parents. So did my best friend. Then I found a set very cheap in a charity shop?and another at a car boot fair. After a while and after lots of sore feet (those things have sharp corners...

Review of Brio

Short and curvy

Advantages: good size
Disadvantages: none

...Brio short curved tracks. My grandson has had his Brio train set for several years now. We bought it for him for his 3rd Christmas. We have added several pieces to it since. This set of 4 pieces of short curved rail is very useful. Each of these wooden curves measure 3 ½ inches long width 1 ½. You will need 4 of these sets to make a circle. These tracks are ideal to add to a train set they will give you the ability to turn corners will add more interest to a set. This train track is double sided There are grooves for the train to run smoothly on. Each piece will fit into the next with a male and female connector a bit like a jigsaw Brio is made from Beech or Birch wood, this wood are free from toxic chemicals was grown not using insecticides. These 4 pieces of track should last a long time they are very strong Brio...

Constructing with Brio

Advantages: really good toy
Disadvantages: None except the price

...We bought my grandson the Brio 34534 Builder System: Construction Vehicles Set. This set cost us £39.99p. The recommended age for this toy is 5 years. I think that's about right a child may be able to manage to build this at a bit earlier age but certainly over 4 years old. I think I can see Adrian playing with this until he is about 8 years old This set comes with 244 pieces and includes a flashing light and engine sounds. There are 2 button batteries needed these came with the set. There are heavy duty wheels and linking pieces to make a caterpillar track also included are 3 plastic tools a screwdriver, a hammer a spanner. Basically this set makes construction vehicles; it will make 5 different ones. It makes a digger, a carrying truck a caterpillar vehicle and other pieces of machinery I do not know the name off The pieces...

A clasic brio toy train

Advantages: fantastic
Disadvantages: none

...that you wish. This train will run on Brio wooden train tracks, The Tesco wooden train tracks are compatible. There is a flying Scotsman train set with track and railway furniture but I have one that was bought separately. This train will cost about £10 and is available at a lot of toy shops, departments and at Amazon. A little about the real flying Scotsman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The flying Scotsman real train is usually the first train that springs to mind when you think of steam trains. In the Flying Scotsman built 1923 began running between London and Edinburgh. In 1934, Flying Scotsman was the first steam train to achieve 100mph (160 kmph) This train stopped running regular journeys in 1963 when it was bought for preservation. In 2004 Flying Scotsman was bought for the Nation. The National Railway Museum in York houses...

Review of Brio Flying Scotsman Engine

Hours of enjoyment from Brio

Advantages: high enjoyment factor
Disadvantages: can prove very expensive

...Yesterday it was my future nephew Luke’s birthday. We bought him two Brio Thomas the Tank engine trains. He has just turned four and his Brio collection is his pride and joy. He has lots of the track that fits all around his room and nearly all the Thomas trains. The only disadvantage is the price. I think Brio is expensive for what it is and once you buy one it is almost inevitable that you will end up buying more. At £10 for the average Thomas train it is very expensive for what it is. The best thing about brio is definitely the child’s enjoyment. I find it hard to think Luke ever getting tired of his Brio set and an imagine him coming home from school in his teenage years and going straight to his train set. To enjoy Brio at its most you will certainly need as much track as possible. If you are thinking...

Review of Brio

choo,choo, choo, choose Brio

Advantages: fun
Disadvantages: expensive

...Choo choo choo Brio train set I was playing with the brio train set with the children at school and decided it was so good it deserved an opinion writing about it. Brio train set are made of wood the track is in small sections which are interlocking . Some sets include bridge’s, non moveable points, a station building. The trains and carriages are painted bright colours the paint is very long lasting does not chip or scratch. The train s have magnets attached to then to connect the carriages together an extra for supporting work on magnets in science as one way round the magnets attract and the carriages stick together ,the other way round the carriages are repelled and the magnetic force pushes the trains around the track. The wheels are firmly fitted in. Brio trains are a very sturdy well built long lasting classic...
