Orbrium® Toys Multi-Level 110 Piece Wooden Train Track Expansion Pack with Stackable Track Riser Stabilizers Generic Fits Thomas Brio Chuggington Set

Off all the toy purchases, in fact, of all the purchases I have made on Amazon, this is by far the best one in regards to affordability and quality. At this price point and for all the great pieces, this deal simply cannot be beat. I don't think you can find this set anywhere else at this price. It alone makes me happy to be a loyal Amazon Prime member year after year. There are some wonderful deals on Amazon and eBay for wooden trains and track sets. I especially search eBay for USED sales/auctions. You just have to spend some time to research and compare prices and quality. It can be frustrating, but the time spent is well worth the significant dollars saved. NOTE: When doing eBay searches, only search for USED items. The new items listed are oddly way overpriced compared to Amazon and many are knock-off items from China that do not meet quality control standards. Also, for used items, be aware of the lead paint recalls that happened some years ago for the Thomas RC2 models. 90% of them involved red paint, and some yellow paint official products. Red paint color vibrancy and durability is hard/expensive to do and lead helps it adhere it better, and thus makes it cheaper. So, be mindful of that. Ok, back to this set. The orange risers, blocks and tracks are ingenious and plentiful. THIS ALONE MAKES THE PURCHASE WORTH IT. My son loves them. They are stable and adds a unique look to the sets which we like a lot. The vast amount of pieces and unique shapes makes this set well thought out and all encompassing. It is like a 425 piece Craftsman toolbox for trains. Can't find a piece that fits? Just search a bit harder and there it is! The female/female and male/male connector pieces alone are a godsend for complex track and building designs. The plentiful 3.5" curved piece are especially critical if you are building sets on a 49" x 34" type standard train table with lots of big structures. QUALITY? Well. What do you want? Yes, you can spend more for the arguably better Official Thomas & Friends tracks. But to do so, you would realistically be paying Ferrari prices for Honda quality, to get them. Why not just simply spend your Hyundai* dollars on a purchase that is fairly close, or possibly better than Honda quality that will give you years and years of memories and fun. *I don't own a Hyundai, but a lot of friends do. They love them and so would I if they brought he Elantra wagon (i40 Estate in Europe) to the US market. :) when you can find deals like this on Amazon, just walking into Toy$RUs, makes me shudder when I see their prices, especially considering the fact they are now the official retailer of the Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends Wooden Train line, egads. Things will only get worse from now, in regards to higher retail prices. The ingenious and plentiful orange risers and unique pieces are just a joy to play with. My son is 2 years old and he loves it. The quality is very good. Not perfect, but I am very satisfied FOR THE PRICE.

This is a great product and goes great with the Melissa and Doug set - http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FIN2E8/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0 With these two sets you will have more than enough tracks to build pretty much anything you want to. Both sets work great with motorized Thomas trains, Melissa and Doug trains, and the tracks all fit together without any issues. For either, I also recommend the Suretrack Clips - http://www.amazon.com/Suretrack-Locking-System-Wooden-Stickers/dp/B002QZ5E12/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1425921027&sr=8-3&keywords=suretrack+clips. The attached image is a combination of this set and the Melissa and Doug set and there are still plenty of track pieces left in addition to what you see. This product's features: The orange stabilizers and thicker blocks work great, and most of the time you will have plenty. I didn't have to use the other set's risers even when using all the tracks combined. These tracks are of great quality and are great fun. This is also a less expensive set to start with if you want to use a motorized train or two instead of the wooden ones that come with the Melissa and Doug set, but I still recommend both together.

We purchased this set to expand the KidKraft Figure 8 Train Set my 2 1/2 year old son was gifted with over Christmas. Those small sets are practically ruined if you lose just one piece and there is little to no flexibility on what type of track your child can build. In this 56 piece set, the curved pieces are tracks on both sides so flipping them is easy to build your set. The male/male and female/female pieces the set comes with are a life saver for when you use the junctions. The male portion of the junction pieces is a ball rather than a flat tongue, but I haven't come across any problems related to this difference. The tunnel is large enough to accommodate for the Chuggington Wooden Railway Chuggineer Tyne Vehicle unlike the Kidcraft tunnel which the larger engine doesn't fit through. My son loves that the tunnel is see through. The female pieces tongue inset in this set are carved slightly bigger than the male pieces tongue. This makes the track more flexible and to be honest, much easier to piece together. Though I can tell the difference between the Kidcraft and the expansion pack pieces, I wouldn't say that the differences are too noticeable. The wood seems to be of high quality though it is a bit lighter in color. Overall, I would say buy this set if you are looking for any type of wooden train set. It gives you enough pieces for your child to create their own track without having to plan every piece ahead of time. And if you lose a piece, it's not the end of the world. You can always buy the train engines individually and get better trains than the magnetically challenged Kidcraft trains. I've had the set for several weeks now and haven't figured out why the name brand sets are so much more expensive.

Inexpensive and good quality wooden tracks. We have tons and tons of Brio and Thomas wooden tracks but my 3 boys always want to build bigger and bigger tracks to play on. This was a great addition lot's of pieces for a reasonable price. The wood itself is a little rougher then your name brand tracks and that may bother some people, but my kids don't seem to notice and it works great with both our Brio and Thomas sets. The Stackable Track Riser Stabilizers are my favorite part. My boys always tried to make big steep hills by stacking the wooden blocks on top of each other but it wasn't sturdy enough and their big hills would always come crashing down after someone inevitably bumped the track, resulting in tears and frustration. The Orange riser stabilizers fit over the wooden blocks and overlap each other as you stack them which makes your hills a little more sturdy, in other words kept them all happy that bumping the track didn't result in their bridge crashing down. I think it is a great product and I would buy more train track products from them in the future.

I've only had the set for a few days but my Child loves it. Seems to be enough different pieces to pretty much fill our train table. The only flaw is get it to stay on the track risers we had to add a tiny bit of sticky tack to the pieces to keep them together. If not the slightest movement would knock them over. I will update on longevity later but they fit the other tracks we have quite well. Good amount of track for price if you've been researching like I did for a month or so before I purchased.

This track set is perfect! For very young train enthusiasts starting out with their first trains, I would recommend getting this track set and some trains instead of a ready made set. This same company offers a 12 piece train set for a very reasonable price, together you will have many more options and much more fun than a regular starter set, and all for a much better total price for what you get. The pieces in this set offer so many layout possibilities. For very young children, I do not recommend elevated ramps, they will get knocked over too easily. This set does include a small see through tunnel that young children will enjoy. Also, sets that include extraneous pieces like houses, trees, etc. aren't going to be appreciated by the youngest kids, they just want to push trains around the track! These tracks are very well made from quality wood, no flaws, very consistent connections. This great assortment of pieces will allow you to create simple to complicated interconnected railroad layouts. As your child grows you can buy more track to allow your railroads to grow accordingly. These tracks should offer years of fun!

Wow - this train set is awesome! So many pieces that my 3-year-old is not yet able to use them all at the same time. (Actually, we covered over half the living room floor with these, and there were still more pieces!) Particularly helpful are the rising tracks and the bridge supports - you can build some very intricate structures with this set. In terms of quality, this isn't quite as good as I've seen with Thomas wooden tracks, but it is fully compatible. A few of the track pieces are slightly thicker than others, and the curves are at a slightly different angle than other sets, so there are a few more "derailments" when my son plays with this set. He finds it a bit frustrating, but the overall size of the set and the generally good quality of the pieces more than makes up for this. So if your child loves trains, I highly recommend this as a major expansion - it's the cheapest per-piece set I could find, and it easily provides four or five times more track pieces than one of the medium-sized Thomas sets we purchased before. Granted, there are no "extras" (or trains, for that matter), but what I really wanted my son to have was the vast expanse of tracks. We can make signs and buildings out of Legos or cardboard, but you can't substitute the tracks.

We’ve been having fun with this set for a few weeks. The set is being added to other train track sets we’ve had for a long time. We were happy to have more pieces to let us lay track to rooms further and further away, but even more thrilling is the unique extras included with the set. The risers are a big plus. They can be used to create one huge hill, or they can be set up to rise and fall in short hills. A special cross-track is our kids’ favorite place to start. This two-piece item lets two tracks crisscross with each other. It’s a major addition! The curved risers are works of art. I don’t know how these curved pieces are created, but they make for a lot of train fun when in use. We’ve haven’t seen anything like this in any of the other sets we’ve added previously. Included are some great new and unique pieces, some favorite but familiar ones, and everything is nicely made and snuggly packaged. It’s easy to recommend this to all train hobbyists.

My grandson loved this

These tracks work well with name brand wooden tracks at a fraction of cost. They are great quality, fit together well, and are loads up fun for my child. There is a large variety of pieces to build creativity. Is there nothing I disliked about this product. Recommend it!

Good product

The quality and workmanship of this set is shockingly poor and make it very difficult to combine the other tracks like Brio and IKEA which trains tend to derail due to the track’s profile.

A nice set made of real wood, great if you're tired of cheap plastic toys. As expected this set operates well with Brio and other pieces. There are many blocks to rise up the track so you can have a track over another track and over another track. Kid loves it of course. Unlike some other sets, these pieces are sometimes a tight fit but not too much. There are several 3 way pieces which are not so common. Also as expected the track across pieces are not exactly perfect for each other, so motorized trains will go off track especially in corners. I have yet to find a set that doesn't do this. This is due manufacturing tolerances probably. Btw brio has a Rechargeable Engine that will save you buying tons of batteries.
