Why Railfans Carry It

For a household with a young train enthusiast, this pack answers a practical question: what to buy once the first circuit has been built. The manufacturer's description says the pack lets children create bigger layouts and new adventures, and it names three kinds of track in the box: straight, curved and switching. The manufacturer also describes the tracks as simple to assemble and take apart, so a layout can be rebuilt as often as the child wants to try a different arrangement. The same page says all BRIO World toys work with each other as one open-ended play system, so the pack is meant to join what is already on the floor rather than stand apart from it.

In the Field

The manufacturer's text says the tracks go together and come apart easily and that building a railway stimulates logistical thinking while building. The box is an expansion: the description says to add it to an existing BRIO World railway, and the manufacturer's photographs show track pieces only. A parent should plan to run it with trains and accessories already in the home. The manufacturer's page lists the age as 3 and up, with article number 63340200 and EAN 7312350334029, so the exact box can be matched against a retailer's listing.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Simple to assemble and take apart, per the manufacturer
  • Works with the rest of the BRIO World system, per the manufacturer

Who It’s For

A parent or gift-giver whose child already has a BRIO World railway and wants to enlarge it. It suits someone who would like the child to have switching tracks and more length to work with, and who does not need a train in the box. It is not the right choice for a first purchase, because the box holds track only.

Alternatives

The manufacturer's page lists an Expansion Pack Beginner in the same Train Tracks category, and Curved Switching Tracks, also listed under Train Tracks. Both are named on the Intermediate pack's page; their contents were not read for this entry, so compare the two pages before choosing.
