Cheaper than Thomas, but just as fun!
Kids love trains. Adults love trains. Who doesn’t love trains? Often, those that are train fans as kids, end up with a life long obsession with the rails, creating HO gauge trains with tiny towns, forests and even mountain tracks. And when considering turning your kids on to trains or anything else, one catch phrase tells the tale – you gotta get em young. Enter Melissa and Doug’s Deluxe Wooden Railway Set.
Wooden railway sets have been around for decades, but they were made most popular in the minds of little one’s thanks to our good friend Thomas the Tank Engine. And while our PBS branded Railway friend is a great toy companion, he’s often a tad more pricey. This Deluxe Wooden Railway set is far more affordable at around $70. For that price, you get 100 wooden track sections, supports and over 30 accessories including both freight and passenger trains, suspension bridges, cars and more.
And with easy to follow instructions, kids as young as three can build any of the four track configurations with little trouble.

In the box:
Six-piece freight train; four-piece passenger train; three-piece flatbed truck; over 100 solid-wood track pieces; engine shed; five-way switch; suspension bridge; trestle bridge; A-frame and tower-frame crane assemblies; railroad workers; traffic signs; trees; and visual instructions for layout options.
And the best part …. according to Bargain Briana, the set also qualifies for Amazon’s Toy Rebate offer of $10 (or a subscription to Parenting School Years Magazine).
Great deal for the Holidays!
