BRIO World Train Garage for Kids Age 3 Years Up - Wooden Railway Expansions and AccessoriesThe Forest Stewardship Council

This Train Garage is a fun addition for a Brio train set. It fits into the standard track and functions as a tunnel when the shutter door is open. A large red plastic knob is turned in order to raise and lower the shutter door. This door can be closed at either end of the garage (but not both sides at once). The knob can be quite stiff to turn so it may not work for younger children.Although the plastic features make the tunnel more realistic and interesting, I have reservations about it. Brio used to be mainly made from wood, and as a result it lasts many years. Plastic simply doesn’t last as long, so there’s a compromise.Overall, I like this tunnel but more importantly our 3-year really enjoys playing with it.

Really well made sturdy toys, and go well with last year's Christmas gift of a train set. Well made and should be long lasting. Will be buying more to extend the set.

A huge hit with the little one, who hardly let go of it throughout the day. Note that when you turn the knob to open the roller-shutter door to the engine shed, if you keep on turning it closes at the other end, which is really neat. This little in-line engine shed seems to be integrated into railway games a lot more readily than the roundhouse type that have a turntable.

Brio is brilliant

I brought this tunnel for my little one to match another plastic item he already had for his track from Brio.I was originally put off from buying the plastic items from Brio for the wooden train track but this item is a great addition to our collection and I would recommend.The sliding door is brilliant as you simply just have to twist the red button on the top of the tunnel to slide the door up and down. It is a nice addition as it is something different compared to your standard tunnel.My little one finds plenty of joy playing with this so I would say money well spent.

Chosen because: It looked like one of the better train sheds (not really a garage, as garages don't stay on the track :)Expectations: Met in full. Brio has a good name and generally, quality is to be expected.Description: Just as in the Amazon image and description, with one additional benefit - when the shed/garage door is rotated (chimney) the door will lift and close from and to either side and, when the door is not in use, it fits neatly in the ceiling. Neat!Price: No getting away from it, Brio is very expensive, whether this is worth its price will depend on its life expectancy and, from my evaluation of the product, I'd say yes, as it looks built to last, I don't see any reason why this would not become a treasured family hand-me-down for future generations.

My 3-year-old grandson loves his trains, so this garage was a big hit.

I bought this for my grandson aged 2, despite Brio specifying that it (and most other Brio train products) are for 3+ years. He rapidly understood how to raise and lower the doors. Its main function at present is to act as a tunnel, with the doors up. Like all Brio products it is great, well-made and an interesting addition to the track.
