My grandson loved it!

As described

Having 'people / passengers' to load on and off was a key feature (seems obvious but hard to find); also 2 trains so 1 each for 2 children playing together.Also the lift has been a great success.Feel that they will both still love it for years

This is definitely my 4 year old grandson favorite train. He is so into Brio, he asks for them by name.

This is the first train set I purchased for my son (18 months at the time). The quality is terrific and this set is a great value, considering that it includes a lot of track, motorized and non-motorized trains, the bridge, and the station. The little people and accessories that go with it are quite small so I have put them away until they are not a choking hazard anymore. Even after expanding our train collection, the blue battery operated train and bridge from this set are my son's favorite pieces. I like that it includes every single thing you need to have fun....and then you can decide whether to expand or not.

My 3 grandson's have all loved trains - hey, even my granddaughters. I have collected a lot of track and trains, but Brio is always my favorite. My grandson even pockets the battery trains to take home to his house. The little thief has to bring them back, but loves the trains so much. This kit was a good addition to our collection.The train pieces(see the red and blue parts) do not stay on as well as they should. The track was actually better than the trains in this kit, but both are being played with often.

Firstly Brio wood train sets are more expensive then other options available at your local retailer. However I have been very satisfied with the build quality of all the included pieces. The people characters included are small approximately 2 inches tall. I removed the people from the set until my 2yr old was past the stage of putting everything in the mouth. The doors on the train are removable I removed for easy of play.Finally and most important, the kids love the set. They play nearly everyday with it. They have discovered that it looks a lot like the Disney Monorail and that has added even more levels of imaginative play.

Our 18 mo old loves it! Especially the electronic train. But there is one flaw: It's so hard to turn the electronic train on - he just doesn't have the strength. And even worse: it's almost impossible for even adults to turn the train off. The switch can be pressed down in the front for the train to go forward and it can be pressed down in the back to go backwards. But to stop it one has to balance it out. It's extremely difficult and frustrating.
