Excellent set and generally the quality you expect from Brio but two comments -The box is very large and impressive but when you open it you realise there is a divider inside and the actual contents are packed in a space about 2/3 of the main box - clearly a crafty ploy by the makers to help justify the not inconsiderable price of the set!One train engine is battery-operated and after a short while the "off" setting stopped engaging so you could not stop the unit running - requested a replacement and Amazon with their usual excellent customer service sent a whole new set out within one day, and we returned this with just the faulty engine substituted.

This set is excellent. My only comment which is not against the product but more against me is that we found for our 2 and a bit year old, this was a little advanced for his first brio set (it is marked for 3+). The main issue has been with the elevated section and our son not knowing where is feet and are continually knocking it over. Now he has been using it for a couple of weeks he is getting used it it. We have since bought some more track and more basic trains to get him going with it.As a product though, I can see that he will love it!!!

Battery operated train is great fun. It is not particularly powerful so works better when just pulling two carriages. The people stick out of the trains slightly so they can get stuck if using this set with other brio bridges (eg hump back bridge). The lids of the trains come off very easily too. Overall though my two and four year old love this addition to their brio set (with all the elevated track, station and extras) and the adults love it too. Don't think you could buy all the parts seperately for the same money.

Bought it for my kids 3rd birthday, he is now nearly 4 and still playing. It is probably the longest played toy.Track is quite good to build different alignment.When the drivers is sitting in the train, moving train under the bridge can get difficult and annoying. Tip: You have to bend the driver in brace position.The train's roof comes off easily and but can be put back and hasnt worn out in the last 10 months.Few interesting features such as lift in the station, switching the track and bridge.

The Set is an excellent gift for a kid. The wooden rails are very good and the easily assembled. The negative is the power of the machine of the train which gives it very slow speed and the quantity of the machines...The set advertises 2 trains (one red and one blue), but the red one does not contain machine...The only thing that clarifies this is that the set says 1 battery needed... 1 battery for 2 trains??? But I did realised it opening the set when it was too late. Generallly excellent buy

My 2-year old is a big Brio train fan and this set delighted him. The switches, the station platform with the elevator, the battery driven train and the little passengers. Of course, some things are a bit fiddly and challenging for him (like placing a passenger in the elevator and avoiding knocking the bridge over) but I suppose a bit of frustration is character building.Good build quality from what I can tell, especially the train wagons are much better than with non-Brio sets.

3 year old granddaughter had requested a wooden train set so was a bit unsure if she would really play with it but she and her sister and friends love playing with it. As expected an excellent product from Brio. Did get impression however that the set had been opened before we got to it because items inside didn't appear to be where the packaging suggested they should be but everything present and covered in cellophane etc.

Lovely set although I did expect it to be a lot bigger for the price. Also it would have been nice if both trains were battery operated, not just the blue set. The red set is manual.As for packaging it was all packed very well so that was good.My son is having a lovely time with it, even with the bridges falling apart every time he knocks it!

Beautiful set and exceptional quality considering I was able to nab this for £47 while stalking amazon Black Friday deals . My LO loves it and takes the train where ever he goesThe only thing that I find irritating is the the battery powered train is so slooooooow and no pulling power...but I suppose this set isn’t made for me ?

It's Brio and we'll worth the price difference from the cheaper sets. We have a couple of cheaper sets we picked up during the year but this was for Christmas and it all fits together with the Thomas wooden railway stuff and the basic stuff you get in toy shops etc. My little one is very happy with it. :-)

This was a Christmas present for my grandson who is nearly 3. He loved it, especially the little train carriages. He enjoyed putting the little passengers in and out. Brio is a brilliant product and was bought for my own children when they were younger.

Hours Of endless fun to be had! My 3 Year old loves it and there are so many more bits you can get for it. There are much cheaper alternatives though that are just as good so worth looking at these too before you buy

My son loved this toys, however not all the trains are battery operated which is a real shame considering the price, hence 3 stars.My son does love playing with this train set and is indestructible for little boys.

Our 3 years little boy was overjoyed! The train set supports little one's creativity and problem solving through play time. Product itself is very well design with decent materials. Very pleased with this purchase.

Excellent bit of kit by Brio and can join it up to a smaller track that I already had for my three year old grandson who loves it, if both carriages had been battery run would have given it five stars.
