With 75 pieces, this Classic World set builds a whole train world on the floor. The wooden rails click together into a loop with a branch, and a bridge is included for the second line to run underneath.
The locomotive and the wagons couple magnetically, so a child makes the train longer or shorter in one movement. Two cranes with a pulley go with the layout: you hoist a container off a wagon and lower it back on. The box also holds road signs, barriers, signal posts, trees and play figures.
The rails are plain wood; the trains, trees, signs and figures are coloured. Laid out, the layout covers about 90 x 50 cm, so count on a corner of the room or a large mat. Classic World gives the set from 3 years.
A classic present with a long life: a train layout gets rebuilt differently every time, and the crane and the containers often take up as much time as the driving itself.
