Product Description
Choo! Choo! There's hours of fun right around the bend with this Deluxe Wooden Railway Set. Everything you need to recreate an amazing train world is included. There are ascending tracks to move trains overhead, plus a spacious Roundhouse engine shed. Dozens of tracks comes in both curves and straight lines, and trees, workers and traffic signs add to the realism.
Set also includes multi-piece trains, magnetic-tipped cranes, switches, T-junctions for passing lanes, suspension bridge, trestle bridge and roundtable. Build new configurations every time! 138 wooden pieces in all.
this set is awesome, and super durable, but the Thomas trains are too big to fit.
This has EVERYTHING! We got this for Christmas, and it was around $70 at the time I think. Anyway, I was very impressed with how many different set-ups you can do (directions) or you can use your imagination. And two trains, and other accessories for the tracks. I love that it is wooden, durable, and overall just a great toy! My 3 yr old son loves his train track, and has provided the best variety of play than any other track available that we've seen!
This is a great product! The biggest selling point for us is that the connectors are actually part of the track and not a glued in piece. Each track piece is one piece. We have a 1 yr old that would take the 3 yr old's other train tracks and somehow get the connecting piece off. Serious choking hazzard!!! Needless to say, those did not last long. We saw Melissa and Doug tracks at an event about trains and were sold. Found them for an excellent price on Amazon. They are made of Oak and will take a beating. Very versatile. The package had many different ways to create different configurations. Our 3 year old loves them and we do not worry near as much about the 1 yr old playing with them. Very happy!!!
My husband and I bought this set for our 2 year old son for Christmas and he loves it. We wanted something that would be compatible with other sets or trains, to be able to add on, like 'Thomas the Train' and it is. Also, for parents, there are 4 diagrams of different track designs that you or your kid(s) can follow to set up, or you can just make your own. Plus you get multiple trains and other cargo so there are enough to share. It was worth seeing his expression when he opened it.
For those needing additional track but can't afford the high price of Thomas, Plan City or Brio, this is the one to get. There is a lot of track, and it will fit with your other tracks and your Thomas trains.
This train set is wonderful. My 3 year old loves it, and I enjoy playing with it with him.
I definitely recommend (as others have) that you purchase at least two sets of Suretrack. It is so much easier to keep the raised parts together with these clips.
The only reason I gave it only four stars for durability is because we did have one piece break: one part of the T-junction female connection broke off. BUT, I am sure we could get it replaced. And, I don't think it would happen on any other piece.
Overall, this set is 100% worth the price!
This is our 3rd wooden train set and I would have to say that it is by far the best for the money. We started off with a very cheap set for our oldest daughter when she was around two. We then went for a Thomas set and added several of the trains to it. I will say that set did have the best quality if you are just going by appearance. We got rid of that set after all of the recalls for lead paint. We have 2 younger children as well and we did not want to keep up with all the recalls, for the price of those trains and accessories lead paint should NOT be an issue IMO. So, this year our middle child who is 3 1/2 really wanted a train set from Santa, after a lot of looking around we decided on this one. I have to say that we are very pleased, we own a ton of Melissa and Doug toys so we felt confident that the product would be on par in quality with other M & D toys. I had read other reviews so I knew that the track layouts provided do not fit on standard train tables so we made a few modifications when setting it up Christmas Eve and it fit very well on our standard size table (I think only 2-3 pieces had to be omitted for it to fit). I had also read about the SureTrack Clips (2 packs do the job) and I will say that they are a MUST have with this set (or probably any other). This set comes with a lot of elevation pieces and the SureTrack really saves a small child a lot of frustration. There are 2 elevated bridges in this set and I used wood glue to glue risers onto the ends to make them sturdier as the SureTrack would not clip to those. Other than that we made no modifications. I know other reviewers have glued or nailed down the entire set like they do in the stores but we wanted to avoid that as our son is pretty good with configuring his own tracks even at 3 1/2 and we wanted him to have that option as well as being able to put the train away and use the table for other things. So again SureTrack helps with that dilemma. This set does come with mostly all usable pieces and few road signs, trees, etc that other sets are loaded with and that is also a plus as others have stated. Last but not least after 3 days of being set up the turn table and track that connects to the roundhouse had warped a bit and curved upwards making it impossible for trains to go over the track smoothly. I sent M & D an email on a Saturday and received a phone call that Monday and they shipped the replacements right out. It is very hard to find customer service like that these days. All in all this is a great set that your child will enjoy without spending a small fortune.
We bought this for our two year old for Christmas and it's great. I shopped around a lot for train sets before I decided on this one. I have no regrets. As many people have said one of the great things is the fact that it doesn't come with all the "junk" the kids don't care about. You get a few trees and people but mostly just track. The set up was easy and the four patterns that were included were also nice. You DEFINITELY need to get two packages of sure track. I bought some based on other users reviews and was SO glad I did. I'm not sure it would stand up long to a 2 year old with out. Don't waste your money on a Thomas brand train set. Get this one for a fraction of the money and the thomas trains will fit. My 2 year old, 5 year old and I love it!
My husband and I gave this train-set to our 22-month-old for Christmas after researching several train sets and we made the right choice: my son can't stop playing with it...and, actually, neither can my husband! The first thing my son does when he comes downstairs in the morning is head straight for the train set. The tracks are easy to put together (my son doesn't yet have full dexterity to do it by himself -- he's young -- so we help him) and my son has no problem getting the train cars onto the tracks once we've assembled the tracks for him. The set is made from very nice wood that does not have any splinters, and the train colors are vibrant. The wheels on the trains appear to be connected quite well, so I am not worried about them popping off and becoming a choking hazard: in other words, this set is completely appropriate for a 2+-year-old. Although we haven't purchased any additional trains, it says it is compatible with both the Thomas and Brio (popular in Europe) sets. On the advice of several other parents, we also purchased the Melissa and Doug Activity Table so that my son doesn't have to sit on the floor all the time to move the train around the track. However, we haven't assembled it yet, and so far my son doesn't seem to mind playing with it on the floor. Overall, this is a solid investment for a toddler who likes trains.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Melissa and Doug products. This train set is wonderful and such an amazing value. I am just sad that our Thomas the Train, diecast cars do NOT fit on the track. This track hooks up to the wooden set that we bought at Ikea. Based on others reviews, I thought that it would work with the Thomas the Train cars. We can still put them on the track, but the body of the cars are too narrow and so it's just not right. I did try one of our son's bigger plastic Thomas' and that fit just fine, but that's not the ones we were collecting :( We have the Learning Curve trains... Hopefully this review will help someone else from buying the track, if they only want it for a Thomas collection!
