A Love Affair With Train Sets!

There are some toys that never go out of fashion. Take toy trains, for example. Britons have been in love with trains ever since the day in 1829 when 15,000 people turned up to see George Stephenson’s Rocket take part in the Rainhill Trials. Children have been in love with toy trains for almost as long and if you look at the wooden train set selection at WoodenToyShop.co.uk you’re bound to find a set to please just about every toddler, not to mention daddy and granddaddy.

Take this Services Train Set (pictured above) for example. Parents will appreciate that this one comes with a play table which will keep the set contained in one space and may even solve the problem of occasional pieces getting lost under sofas, in cupboards and under cushions. Children, on the other hand, will simply enjoy the sheer variety of wooden trains, train track, buildings, bridges, tunnels and vehicles supplied with this set.

Some children are obsessed with building sites and construction vehicles. The Bigjigs Construction Train Set comes with a working toy train that can be used to shift materials from one site to another while two trains travel around the track doing the same. This fantastic train set also contains 9 construction vehicles to add to the fun!

Of course, much of the fun of playing with wooden train sets comes from adding new track, buildings, trains and other accessories to your set. A number of new treats have recently arrived on platform one at WoodenToyShop, including this Clickety Clack Bridge.

And if one bridge isn’t enough for your junior railway enthusiast, then why not try a Double Suspension Bridge, a Three Arched Bridge or this magnificent Railway Viaduct?

Have you ever been sitting on a train and travelled past a depot where the trains are stored on sidings while they wait to be washed? Yes, even trains must be washed from time to time and the Bigjigs Train Washer will connect to your wooden track to make sure your wooden trains and carriages are spick and span.

One of WoodenToyShop’s most popular accessories is the Grand Central Station which even features a helipad and helicopter, a working lift/car transport and four wooden cars which can be parked on the upper level car park. The station has four platforms and a wooden destination board, so four trains can pass through at once!

Playtime has to finish at some point and when it’s time for bed, it’s good to have somewhere to store your engines for the night. The Bigjigs Five Way Engine Shed will shelter up to five trains at any one time, with the help of a clever rotating track piece which will connects to your track.
