Melissa & Doug Wooden Railway Set, 130 Pieces

It’s a great train set! We also bought the Melissa and dough play table for it to go on and it fits perfectly. I would recommend getting blu tack or some other putty to stabilize it because it does slide around quite a bit, but for the most part it’s great for the price.

Great train set, my 7 year old loves it. Plenty of pieces.

Perfect sized train track! We bought this for our newly 4 year old and it’s perfect for him.

Lots of fun with various pieces. The quality seems okay.

Our 4 year old plays with this set nearly everyday. His cars work well on the tracks too, which is his favorite way to play with it. We love that it’s wood and great quality. And there are so many ways to set it up that it keeps the kids busy for a while.

The overall quality is excellent. There are a lot of pieces and the kids love that some of the trains and cars have magnetic and removable pieces that can be picked up by the cranes. The wood has a decent weight to it, but not too heavy for the little ones to pick up. Most of the tracks fit together nicely, however, some of the pieces have plastic connectors and some of these connectors were pushed too far into the wood and make either for a tight fit or make it so the tracks don't stay flush or stuck together. Have wanted to pull them out farther, but am unsure if they are screwed or glued in and don't want to break anything. It's not a deal breaker, but just something to be aware of; the majority of the pieces fit just fine. Another minor issue are the blocks used to raise the tracks off the ground. They could have a slightly better way of securing them, as the tracks can fall off them fairly easily. Older kids might not have the trouble, but younger kids might not be able to. We bought this on sale and would suggest because of some of the issues to wait for a sale and not buy at the full price.

If you own or have a friend who has a 3d printer, and print some elevated rail support pieces this set is fantastic for the price. If you don't, the supports that come in the box for the elevated rails are terrible.

Versatile and excellent quality. Love this set!

Terrible packaging that leaves tiny styrofoam pieces everywhere, which is especially bad if there are younger siblings. Takes forever just to unpack all the individual packing. Poor quality control. Some pieces don’t line up or connect well. Some of the structures, such as the tower is wobbly. Good design, fun toy for toddler, but buyers may want to consider other options, considering the high price tag.

The track connects very loosely and comes apart too easily. Magnets are very weak. Crane magnets don’t even work. Disappointed with this purchase.
