For over a century, the world famous Brio Company from Sweden have been making toys from wood, and probably their most famous is their wooden train system, which has been in production for over 40 years. This started as a set of natural finish interlocking wooden rails with some colourful push–a-long engines and trucks. Naturally as technology has developed, so has their wooden train railways, and there is now even a battery powered version to satisfy their slightly older customers! Track sections now include points, crossovers, bridges and even turntables.
Wooden trains however, are not just Brio size. Nearly all young children love pull along toys, and wooden trains are one of the most popular styles. Thomas the Tank Engine is probably the favourite, and this character with his many friends will probably be around forever. Wood is one of the finest natural products, and although plastic is a cheaper alternative, nothing compares to the warm feel and texture of a real wooden train for a young child.
