Advantages: Cheap Disadvantages: As good as original brands
Santa bought my four year old the lovely mountain train set made by tesco. He desperately wanted a train set and when we were in Toysrus we would look at the brio sets and then look around the other toys. It was not unitl near to Christmas that I actually decided to look at the price. I was horrified to discover how expensive brio train sets were. I looked in several other shops ELC etc but they too were too expensive. I found a cheap set in ASDA but it did not seem to be compatabile with brio or even near to the quality, so I decided not to buy the train set from there either. When we were shopping in Tescos my son pointed out the train sets and took a real interest in a lovely mpuntain train set which had had a wooden train set, a little bridge, wooden animals, trees, tunnels, trains, carriages,sign and mountains all for £24 ...
Advantages: hours of play Disadvantages: hard getting back into box
When i first saw this at my local tescos i thought a great toy for my 2 year old son for christmas last year.It was a bargain at £ 10 i thought my son would love it .He has got a thing for train sets with 100 pieces to it and it didnt look hard to set up .I thought the box was massive and it look as though it was very hard wearing and hours of fun.

Browsing round the toy section in Tesco, I noticed they had a small selection of wooden train sets. Usually priced at £24.95 for a 70 piece set, the sale price was £9.24. Perfect. The other set available was a 50 piece set usually priced £19.97 but in the sale at £8.87.
As well as train sets, Tesco also has a wide range of wooden accessories for the set. You can buy an extra train carriage for less than a pound, a whole train and animals for £3.75, a signal box for around the same price and many other things. You can buy additional track to add on to your railway in various sized boxes, mostly costing under £10. These are ideal presents for children who already ...
