Bring Big Fun With Brio Train Accessories

Take Their Train Play to the Next Level

Want to add another level to your kid’s train layouts? Perhaps you want to get more mileage out of their train table. If your child has a one track mind, and you want to expand their collection of wooden train toys from this classic brand, try these accessories from Brio.

Cargo Transport Helicopter: Lift their trains and freight to new heights thanks to this whirlybird. The bright red helicopter can hold up to two small cargo cars complete with wooden crates. A ramp lowers to make loading a cinch. Up front, lift the clear cockpit cover to add the pilot, which comes included with the set, along with the freight cars and cargo.

Double Suspension Bridge: This bright red bridge attracts plenty of attention and holds up to lots of train traffic. It comes in two large pieces with plastic railings. Connect the two together to form one long bridge. Or use them separately for more configurations. Each piece stands on its own, meaning kids won’t need help getting them balanced or connected. Two curved ramp pieces allow the bridge to connect to other wooden tracks, while leaving plenty of room for trains to pass underneath.

Collapsing Bridge: Add action to their layout with this collapsing bridge. Send the trains across the tracks but watch out! The push of a button will cause the upper layer to fall, sending trains tumbling off the bridge. Pop the pieces back into place to reset them. The lower portion includes a built-in wooden track to make connecting simple.

Signal Track (on Amazon): Keep their trains controlled with this splitter. It comes with a signal overhead. Kids can switch the light and direction by spinning the dial. A small plastic switch piece determines which track the train will take, while above the signals show different colors. Connect any wooden tracks and bring their conducting dreams to life.

Magnetic Block Train: If you don’t want to commit to the expansive wooden track layouts, or you have a younger child not constrained by tracks, this magnetic train makes an excellent starting point. Let kids stack the brightly colored blocks in any configuration on the wheeled bases. As an added bonus, once they outgrow the train itself, you can still use the individual pieces as magnets around the house.
