Brio Trains
There are many different brands and styles of train sets for kids.
They range from little, plastic toddler sets, to larger, wooden and
electric sets for kids and adults. They make great birthday and
Christmas gifts for boys and girls, and will keep them entertained
for hours at a time. The best part is that with most train sets you
can continue to add on to them and expand your collection for years
to come.
One of the most well-known, popular train sets in the world is Brio
trains. They were invented by a man named Ivar Bengtsson in 1884.
Bengtsson was a basket- maker by trade, but decided that he wanted
to invent a toy that would not only be fun for kids to play with,
but would be developmentally beneficial for children as well. This
idea has since expanded into BRIO, a world wide corporation, as well
as the biggest wooden toys producer in the world.
The most famous BRIO invention is the interlocking wooden train
sets. In 2001, over 6 million wooden track sections and almost 20
million train wheels were produced. This is partly because they are
one of the sturdiest, most well made train sets available.
These train sets are made up of many different wooden blocks that
have been carved into different lengths and shapes of railroad
tracks. The pieces are all connected together by marking on the ends
of every piece of track.
In addition to plain railroad tracks you can also buy different
buildings such as: train stations, railroad crossings, water towers,
train drop off stations and many more accessories. However, no
railroad train set would be complete without the trains and people
themselves. There are so many different colors and types of trains
you can collect. Some even make noises or carry items.
To top it all off, BRIO has a lifetime warranty on their products.
If there is any damage or dissatisfaction, they will replace it for
free, because they are so sure of their products quality and
stability. In my opinion, that is the best guarantee you could ever
ask for.
