Advice on buying Brio or Thomas Tank Engine train set and table.?
I am planning on getting a small wood train set for my 2 year old son. He currently has a small IKEA wood set which fits with Brio and Thomas sets...just. I would like to find a table or make one to set the tracks on. Do you have any advice on this endeavour, good train sets, fun pieces, and what dimensions of table would be good for a train set so it can be somewhat expandable? Are there any cautions I should be aware off?
Bought my grand son one of these. They're designed for child use and are quite sturdy.
