STEM 90 Pcs Ultimate Elevated Wooden Railway Construction Set – Build Bridges, Tunnel, Stop/Go Gate, Crane Includes Ascending Tracks and Risers – Compatible with Thomas & Brio by ORBRIUM

very well made, easy to use. Nicely packaged, arrived on time. Compatible with Thomas trains.update: the thomas trains without battery power work well on these tracks. The battery powered trains worked well on the straight track, but had trouble navigating the curves.

Great for the price. Works with other sets like Thomas

Great way to add elevation to your wooden railway. The track connects to the orange parts of the riser so it is very secure. It doesn't slide off when pushing trains up it. We had ones on wooden blocks before that were always falling over.

Well made.. The boys creating multiple track designs.. Well worth the money.

compatable with old brio train tracks

The number of prices for the price seemed acceptable and we're compatible with our already growing collection. The short turns are tough to navigate when pulling a longer train. The trains just starts to fall over instead of turn. The most annoying part is the plastic ramps. They are too steep for every train piece we have. When you pull a train up or down the hill the wheels come off at some point so the trains flops over and disconnects.

This is a great set for the price. I didn’t realize the bridge was fully plastic. It still works, but I liked having all of my pieces be wood.There is only one dock piece so the circuit feels a little unfinished unless you start and stop your ferry at the same place.

Off all the toy purchases, in fact, of all the purchases I have made on Amazon, this is by far the best one in regards to affordability and quality.At this price point and for all the great pieces, this deal simply cannot be beat. I don't think you can find this set anywhere else at this price. It alone makes me happy to be a loyal Amazon Prime member year after year.There are some wonderful deals on Amazon and eBay for wooden trains and track sets. I especially search eBay for USED sales/auctions. You just have to spend some time to research and compare prices and quality. It can be frustrating, but the time spent is well worth the significant dollars saved.NOTE: When doing eBay searches, only search for USED items. The new items listed are oddly way overpriced compared to Amazon and many are knock-off items from China that do not meet quality control standards. Also, for used items, be aware of the lead paint recalls that happened some years ago for the Thomas RC2 models. 90% of them involved red paint, and some yellow paint official products. Red paint color vibrancy and durability is hard/expensive to do and lead helps it adhere it better, and thus makes it cheaper. So, be mindful of that.Ok, back to this set.The orange risers, blocks and tracks are ingenious and plentiful. THIS ALONE MAKES THE PURCHASE WORTH IT. My son loves them. They are stable and adds a unique look to the sets which we like a lot. The vast amount of pieces and unique shapes makes this set well thought out and all encompassing. It is like a 425 piece Craftsman toolbox for trains. Can't find a piece that fits? Just search a bit harder and there it is!The female/female and male/male connector pieces alone are a godsend for complex track and building designs.The plentiful 3.5" curved piece are especially critical if you are building sets on a 49" x 34" type standard train table with lots of big structures.QUALITY?Well. What do you want? Yes, you can spend more for the arguably better Official Thomas & Friends tracks. But to do so, you would realistically be paying Ferrari prices for Honda quality, to get them.Why not just simply spend your Hyundai* dollars on a purchase that is fairly close, or possibly better than Honda quality that will give you years and years of memories and fun.*I don't own a Hyundai, but a lot of friends do. They love them and so would I if they brought he Elantra wagon (i40 Estate in Europe) to the US market. :)when you can find deals like this on Amazon, just walking into Toy$RUs, makes me shudder when I see their prices, especially considering the fact they are now the official retailer of the Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends Wooden Train line, egads. Things will only get worse from now, in regards to higher retail prices.The ingenious and plentiful orange risers and unique pieces are just a joy to play with. My son is 2 years old and he loves it.The quality is very good. Not perfect, but I am very satisfied FOR THE PRICE.
