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.

Grands love the track expansion pieces as it allows them to be even more creative than ever! The expansion pieces are sized correctly, smooth (so no splinters), and appear to be as durable as the original train set. I highly recommend this expansion set to give your toddlers the opportunity to explore their imaginations, build with their hands and have fun. This is a great value for the money! My 5 year old (boy/girl) twin grandkids love this and have a great time designing different track layouts every time they play with this!

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.

Great set! I bought this as an expansion to the (now discontinued) Amazon Basics wooden train tracks so we can cover more area and have more bridges. I love how this bridge is customizable in shape and direction! We did a quick setup to test it out (pictured). Good quality and the dock was an immediate hit with my 4 & 5 year olds. 10/10 recommend!

I'm a perpetual deal-hunter, so when Prime Day arrived, I was scoping out all of the things I had been meaning to buy anyway. More train tracks for my two young girls were on the list. I was excited about this set because it had a lot of basics to make a variety of track configurations. When the package arrived, I was pleased as I took out the tracks that all of the pieces were consistent in quality--you don't always get that. There is a good variety of all the different kinds of tracks you would want too. Depending on you child, you may get away with buying this and a few trains. I already had a small set and a few trains I had purchased second-hand, so this was the perfect addition to our track collection. My girls have been playing with them a few weeks now and even with a few being tight, they fit extremely well together and have withstood the constant banging/throwing/chewing that happens with young kids. I'll even plan to bring a few of these to work with me (I work in an elementary school) since they are pretty hardy. Overall, I think this is a good expansion set that functions well and is well-made. I'd definitely recommend!

Bottom line: i think the trade off between cost and quality is worth it. You are getting a good deal, but the quality will suffer a bit compared to Brio. With my small sample size, you are getting ~1% error rate. The rest are pretty good and hard to distinguish. Example: -of the ~100 pieces, I had one that was unusable. The female connection was not cut all the way through. The hole was there, but you could see how the saws did not go all the way through to connect the hole to the edge of the piece. It was fixable, but I had to use a a small hand saw. -other issues are mild: groves not perfect. The density of the wood also seems to vary. That said, with this expansion, you get to build so many cool tracks with multiple levels. The bridges and supports are a huge sell. The green arched bridge is a huge fave. Some of the yellow overpasses seem a bit cheap, but the bridges seem good. My biggest hang up occurred when I unboxed them. This is when I saw the flaws, but 2 days later when they mixed with other pieces, I can't see them anymore. My kid never noticed. He just had so much fun building bigger tracks. So, I think it was totally worth it. I would recommend it to expand out the track some.

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 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.

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.
