Customer Review: Great beginner train set
This set was bought for my 3 year old for his birthday. The train is quite simple, but seems durable. The cars and engine hook together with a magnet which is great since he is not asking me to hook them together every minute. After watching me set it up a few times, he can now put the track together all by himself. Great product!
Customer Review: Wooden train set
This train set is a perfect starter train set, that doesn’t take up too much space. It has provided many hours of creating and fun for my son.

Customer Review: Fun and Easy
Both my girls enjoy this train set. It’s easy for them to set up and take apart on their own. They use all the pieces and even add some of their LEGO buildings to create little villages. It’s well constructed and durable.
Customer Review: Cheap for a reason
I was very disappointed in the Maxim product line, which is made in China. Wood is very light-weight and is able to be scratched with the fingernail, unlike the Brio set I grew up with. The connectors on the tracks are unevenly cut and the saw cuts actually extend into the body of the track. Some of the pieces are also difficult to fit together. We decided to return ours despite having to pay shipping both ways. Price is cheap for a reason – poor materials and poor craftsmanship.
