Take Along Thomas & Friends - Thomas

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains
from: Learning Curve


Our son got his first Take along Thomas engine (I think it was Percy, Thomas came later) when he was about 18 months old. This started the big Thomas craze in our house. Our son is now 2 1/2 and he has only a few left to collect. I've given this toy (the whole range) a 5 star rating for educational value as it is amazing how much our son has learned from collecting and playing. He knows the names of all the engines, can tell them apart where my partner and I can't, has started recognising names in print even with no pictures next to it for clues etc. He plays with them for hours something he doesn't do with any of his other toys. Unfortunately, they do chip easily - but then again they have a lot of crashes to withstand ;).

Ticket To Ride Europe

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains
from: Days of Wonder


This is a real hit with our family whose age range is 5 - 75. Once rules explained no reading apart from matching place names on board to those on your ticket, max hour to play and unlike monopoly you don't know who has won until the final count up so younger players don't get disheartened half way through. Some play it strategically but our five year old won the first couple of times he played which was refreshing but there is enough of a challenge for older players to want to keep playing to improve their tactics. It is addictive.

Hornby Virgin Trains Pendolino - Digital Train Set

I was sceptical at first but was pleasantly suprised, the detail is excellent as is the actual movement of the train as it swings round the corners at high speed, i bought this set as an addition to an already large collection of trains but just renumbered the dcc chip in the train instead of having to fit one, the dcc chip is the thing that allows you to run more than 1 train on the same track and control the lights etc. I remember when it was 1 track, 1 train but not anymore, I have had steam engines, diesel engines and electric engines all running at once! Fantastic, buy one, you wont be dissapointed

BRIO 33381 Wooden Railway System: Collapsing Bridge

We got this as a gift for our son a year ago, and its appeal has endured. Older and younger children who come to play also love it. They play rescue with a variety of story lines. The toy shows no hints of breaking or wearing out yet, and I see no end to the imaginative ways it can be played with. Highly recommended to fans of wooden railway.

Ticket To Ride

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains
from: Days of Wonder


This is the first, the original Ticket to Ride game - and the most basic, so it is perfect for those new to the series to learn the rules.

You are presented with a map of the US and southern Canada. You are given route cards for building railways between cities. By completing the routes, you receive points, and the one with the most points at the end is the winner. Simple, no?

So, do you build routes north-south or east-west? Except your fellow players are also building routes too - and there is only space for one or at the most two tracks between cities. AND you need the right kind of train to lay on the tracks, trains that can only be put together from a separate stack of cards.

From these foundations arises ... Read More:

Take Along Thomas and Friends Working Hard Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains
from: Learning Curve


we ordered this set in April 2008 as we liked the bridge and layout style,but the set we received had a different layout;the track bridge consisted of 2 supports which didn't hold the track up for long once it started being played with!also the track didn't come around under the bridge,there's a circular section along the track instead.we sent it back for a refund as there were also a couple of faults with our set.
it looked a fun set,and the track does snap together well,and the track layout size is good value for money.
we now have a wooden set though which we prefer.
