Melissa and Doug Wooden Railway

What little kid doesn't like trains or building something? Well, what if you could take those two loves and put them together into one fun set? Now, you can with the Melisa and Doug Wooden Railway. It's a great new way for your little one to experience building something and having a blast with a real train set at the same time! Melissa and Doug toys are quite well known and sought after because of their education aspects and they ease of use.

This is the latest in the wonderful world of Melissa and Doug who have carved a name for themselves in wonderful and creative children's toys. Their line of products is so well known and has found their way into homes everywhere because of their wonderful appeal. Their line includes such an array of projects that incorporate learning as well as having fun.

The Melisa and Doug Wooden Railway set has everything that your little engineer will need to construct a full train set. There is a shed for the roadhouse engine to be stored in and dozens of pieces of track to construct the railway of their choice. There is also landscape material such as trees, traffic signs and the workers to carry out the work. To assist with the flow of the train and neighboring traffic there are cranes with magnetic tips, switches to re-route the locomotive and a T-junction which will allow passing lanes for others. Rounding out the set is a suspension bridge, a roundtable for re-directing the train and even a trestle bridge.

Altogether there are over 100 pieces of track and supports. The train itself includes a freight train and a passenger train. Except for a few connecting pieces the entire set is made entirely of wood. All of the wood is sanded to a smooth finish so it is durable and attractive, as well as safe for small hands to handle.

The track easily fits together without any necessary tools or special equipment. With such a huge assortment of track pieces and accessories there is quite a number of possible track configurations that they can set up. In fact, that's part of the fun with this set: being able to start over fresh and never have to worry about getting tired of the layout.

An example of the fun of this set includes the flatbed truck that allows a child to reenact the real-world transfer of cargo from the train onto a truck and then out to area stores for the delivery. The set even has its own train engineers who can assist in directing traffic as the trains come in and out of the station. The Melissa and Doug Wooden Railway will mean hours of fun and creativity for any child.
