One of his favorite toys

LOVE this train set. It is so well made. Portable and so much fun. My now 2 year 4 month old has had this for about 3 months and still plays with it every day. We travel with it and he loves the little case that becomes the track. I love to watch him play on his own making up sounds and stories. Grest for good old fashioned imaginative play. This is as must have for every little train lover!!

Great for little train fanatics

My 3.5 yr old son absolutely loves this! It’s easy to take with us when we travel and he plays with it all the time at home.

Quality is excellent

Ordered for my 2 year old grandson and after about two weeks my husband admitted he was surprised that he played with it as much as he did. Not only does our grandson love playing with the train and setting up the set but so does his dad dad. Very sturdy, colorful, well built, easy to put away, store and travel.

Solid construction. Anticipating lots of fun. Great beginner set.

Melissa & Doug have done it again! I have two boys (2.5 and 3.5 yrs old). Their birthdays are just a couple months away, and we decided to get them a train table with the full M&D track. BUT, I wanted to ease them into it -- as they've never really played with trains before. I saw this take-along version and thought it'd be a perfect lead in. The plan is for it to be open and set-up under the tree on Xmas morning, so I can't yet tell you how the kids react. But I just played with it for a good 20 minutes.. if that tells you anything. Here are my pros and cons right out of the box. Pros: 1) VERY solid construction. What I've come to expect from M&D. Wood is thick and sturdy. Clasps and hinges feel strong and durable. 2) Nice finish/paint job on the track itself. A few minor imperfections, but overall, consistent and well done. 3) Buildings/decor painted on both sides. Some sets I've seen have only one side painted. This looks good from all angles. 4) Even without any decor/buildings, it is fun to use the track. My youngest is on the spectrum and not always the most gentle or purposeful with toys. I like that I can teach him how to push the cars before messing with the decor -- but can add those pieces easily for his older brother. Cons: 1) 2 cars travel great together, but you'll get an occasional derailment on turns with 3 cars travelling as a unit. Not a huge issue at all, but worth noting. 2) While the sliding gondola is a cute touch as a moveable element, within a day I imagine it would cause paint to wear off the 'mountaintop.' I doubt I'll give it to my kids -- at least not any time soon. 3) I really wish the inside had compartments for the pieces. There's so much space that all the pieces will just be banging/jangling around in there -- should you actually use this for travel. I will probably wrap pieces in a small dish towel when storing them to negate this.

The best portable train set !!

I ordered this for my son. He is obsessed with trains. At times he would try to bring along his huge train set but it was just too heavy and too big. This is literally everything he needed and more all in a cute small wooden suitcase. Perfect for traveling!!

Also my three-year-old great grandson carries it everywhere

Fun

Grandson loves it

Great quality

My boys love these trains. We went to the library where they had toy trains and the boys loved them, so I wanted to get them some for home. I always trust Melissa and Doug toys, so I picked this set out. Great choice! My kids love them!
