I hesitated buying this for a while due to several reviews stating poor quality. Eventually I took the gamble because this set seems to have the best selection of pieces for versatility of track layout. Even the closest-equivalent I could see from Brio still seemed to have a less useful variety of junction pieces whilst being more expensive.Maybe the quality control on these is poor, but speaking for the pack I received, the quality is very good - no rough edges or splinters or cracks. These fit well with our other Carousel (Tesco) and Bigjigs pieces. We received one curve piece where the male lug seems to be cut very slightly off angle, meaning that it is a tighter fit to connect and disconnect than any other piece,

A must have if you want to create a proper, expansive wooden train track with lots of junctions and bridges and fun things that never seem to quite fit together. Has a few spare bends and straights for general expansion, useful short and 'double same-end' pieces for filling those frustrating track gaps. and an invaluable crossroads (hard to get otherwise) which is great for creating figure of eight tracks and lots of other designs where engines can carry on going round without the need to move a turntable, etc.It's proper sturdy stuff, fits niceley to other brands of similar track and seems much better value than some competitors (e.g. Brio). We've bought these packs twice alongside a feature piece (e.g.

Great track, fits with existing sets very well, and more reasonably priced than some rivals. Quality adequate, although battery powered trains may prefer the straight path at the Y junctions, as grove could be more distinct(a common problem with most wooden Y junctions).Lots of short, medium, long and very long straight tracks making it easy for my 3 year old to create his own complete circuits, rather than the usual fixed length track with gaps. Useful double ended joining piece allows 2 open tracks to be connected. Similarly, entry and exit end connectors if unable to complete a circuit or buffers.Only 4 stars as really need a few more curved tracks.

We alresdy had a train set and would always run out of pieces to make a full circuit. We bought these pieces hoping they would fit our existing set from toys R us and they did.when we opend the box we felt that it didnt have enough pieces in but to our surprise it did after using them. Now we can make a full track up any way we like. My sons imagination went wild with the different ways to design his master piece. He was so pleased he asked me to photograph it so we would always remember it. He is requesting more pieces as he liked it so much, and with many choices to choose from, I think he might just get some for christmas.

Like many families, we started off with a simple figure of eight type railtrack set up (Thomas the Tank Engine wooden in our case), we have then added to it, and invited others to add over the last couple of years, adding several engines, and also a set from Tesco (nearly all the wooden railways systems fit together fine), but we didn't have any junctions, points, bits to change direction or any of those interesting little bits that allow more creative railway set ups. This set did the trick. We can now set up our railway in many more interesting ways, and aren't so restricted with what we can do. Can't say much more really, nice quality made wooden pieces.

I saw all the positive and negative reviews of this product and I had my eye on this as my lad loves his wooden train set. After looking around for at least 3 months this appeared to be the better deal and overall the most reviewed product. We have wooden tracks from different places and this set also fits well with the others. I now there are some reviews making reference to the finish of the product but I must say the pieces I have got, they are fine. My 4 year old loves it and the extra tracks allow him to make bigger tracks and gets those cogs going in using different pieces to finish the circuit.A very good product and well worth the purchase.

This expansion pack really helps to create more interesting track layouts - I was getting bored with the limited track layouts we had before, although my son seemed happy enough. I was a little concerned about the quality when I read other reviews, but actually the quality is pretty good. We have a mixture of Brio, Thomas and Bigjigs and the differences in quality are not all that great. I wouldn't avoid using the Bigjigs track at all.I bought this from MrToyBox who gave excellant service. I ordered it on the 9th, the delivery estimate said 14th to 17th, but it arrived on the 11th and this was using the standard (free) shipping service.

Our 2 year old had received some basic wooden train track a while ago and after seeing how much he has enjoyed playing with them we wanted to create new layouts. This pack is points transforms a simple set of straight/curved track into much more at a much smaller cost compared to buying a new set.After looking at other brands this was the most appealing due to value for money and range of pieces. The brio sets are much more expensive but are no better in quality.The delivery was very quick, I have had no issues with service or product. Recommend for others looking to expand a track without huge cost.

Merges perfectly with Learning Curve track set. Some pieces have plastic connections that do not fit as snugly to the next piece and thus allow for a bit of more flexibility in the track than the LC pieces alone. The quality is not as good as that of LC, but honestly, do kids care!? What they need is as many pieces as possible to make as long of a track as possible and whether a piece has a little chip come out is not important at all. It's good value for money and I'm sure the next time I want to buy some additions to the existing track, I will choose Bigjigs.

My daughter had some wooden train track given to her for Christmas. It is a lovely set however it didn't have any double ended track parts. After looking around I came accross this Track Pack, ordered it and it arrived today. The track pack is excellent value for money. It fits perfectly with the set I already have (from a different company) and there are so many useful bits. Also, the service recieved has been excellent - the item was delivered much sooner than expected. I would definately recommend you getting this to build up your wooden train track set.

I bought this to go with our existing track because quite frankly you can't have enough. We can nearly make it from the sitting room to the washing machine with this extra track and not only does my little boy love it but his big sister, Mummy, Daddy, Granny, Grandad and Auntie all love getting stuck in to this. It's well built goes together nicely and fits with some Ikea track, there's some variation in the wood colour but the children really aren't going to worry about that only fussy adults! Will probably be adding to the set again at Xmas.

Great expansion pack to add to our train set (from ELC).The wood colours do not match, but it doesn't really bother me and I wouldn't rate it down for that because it would be unrealistic to expect every piece to come from the same tree and even if it did there would be details within the wood that would be unique! But if it is something that bothers you then don't buy train sets or paint them all the same colour :D ;)Love that we can make our train line go off in different directions, it makes endless possibilities.

This is the second time I have bought wooden railway components from this firm and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. They fit perfectly with sets from more expensive manufacturers and and are excellent quality. The toys arrive well packaged and in good time and there is plenty of choice. I know that my grandson will be delighted to add this set to his layout, on his birthday! I will definitely be using Bigjigs again, in the future.

We already had quite a bit of wooden railways, both by Brio and Ikea (which do fit together, but can be a bit harder for little ones to get loose from each other again) and this seemed the best value-for-money addition. It fits nicely with both other brands and contains a nice variety of things, such as a crossing, some ultrashort bits, plenty straights and switchtracks where one way bends and one goes straight.

If you're looking for track to build railways for the kids then you really can't go wrong with BigJigs. We've got a huge box of the stuff and the tracks that get built are different everytime - items like this just serve to add realism and variety to the creations.Made from quality thick wood I've never known any of the BigJigs pieces to succumb to some of the stress they're subjected to on a daily basis!!
