BRIO 33357 Wooden Railway System: Lifting Bridge

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains
from: BRIO First Order Account


A nice addition to the Brio set we'd just bought for our daughter (nearly three). She likes to wind the handle to make the bridge go up and down and likes the little gates at either side too. A nice touch is that the handle's been designed to be held and turned by small hands.

The one caveat is that you need a special piece of track from Brio to allow track to go under the bridge rather than just over it. It's difficult to find and without it, the bridge doesn't have as much appeal.

BRIO 33337 Wooden Railway System: Short Curved Tracks

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains
from: BRIO First Order Account


Well, pretty much does what it says on the box. Four shorter curves to add to your Brio system. Like the short straights, they help join things together when layouts don't quite reach or fit - invaluable when creating larger layouts as my daughter got older and required more than one station, a tunnel, two bridges, a farm...

However, four isn't many - like the larger curves one pack only makes a semi-circle - and we found we had to buy multiple boxes of basics such as these which works out extortionately expensive. Better, we found, to supplement your Brio starter set with cheaper (but almost as good quality) track from one of the many alternative manufacturers.

As I've mentioned elsewhere though, buildings (sheds etc) ... Read More:
