VIGA Toys | Wooden Train Set 49 Piece

The trains connect with magnets, which solves the problem every three year old has with a train set: carriages that fall off every single lap.

There are two of them here, each with an engine, and they pull along a track made of beechwood that goes together with a simple peg and hole system. That's deliberate. The pieces push together easily enough that a small child can build the layout themselves rather than sitting watching an adult do it, which is the difference between a toy they own and a toy that gets built for them.

Forty-nine pieces in all. The track, two bridges, buildings, trees, bushes, cars, traffic signs and two little play figures. Enough to build the figure-eight on the box, and more than enough to pull it apart and invent something else entirely tomorrow. That's really what a train set is for.

Beechwood is a good choice for this. It's hard, close-grained and handles being trodden on, dropped and rebuilt a few thousand times, which is exactly what's coming. VIGA have been making toys for over twenty years and everything meets the EN-71 safety standard, so it's properly made rather than just nice to look at.

You know how much we love a good wooden toy. This is the sort of thing that gets played with for years, then goes in a box in the shed and comes out again for the next lot.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can a 3 year old build the track themselves?
Yes, and that's the point of the peg and hole system. The pieces push together without much force, so a small child can lay out their own layout rather than waiting for an adult to do it. Expect some help with the bridges early on.

How do the trains connect?
By magnet, which means carriages actually stay attached as they go round. It's a small thing that saves an enormous amount of frustration at this age.

Does it work with other wooden train sets?
Wooden railway track is largely a standard size across brands, so it usually mixes in with what you already have. If you've got an existing set, it's worth comparing a track piece before you buy, since there are occasional differences in the groove width.

How much space does it need?
The layout on the box fits comfortably on a play mat or a rug. Because the track can be laid out dozens of ways, you can go compact on a table or spread it right across a floor.

Is 49 pieces enough on its own?
Plenty for a complete working layout with bridges and scenery, and it's a good standalone set. Like any train set, it does grow well, so expansion track and extra trains are a natural next birthday.

How tough is the beechwood?
Beech is hard and close-grained, which is why it's used for toys. It handles being trodden on, dropped and rebuilt endlessly, and it'll look lived-in rather than broken after a few years.

Is it safe for a toddler?
It's rated 3 and up and meets the EN-71 standard, but it does contain small pieces, so keep it well away from anyone still putting things in their mouth.

🌟 Adventure Awaits Tip

Build the first layout together, then leave it alone. The best thing about a track that comes apart is watching what they come up with on their own by about day three. Have a browse through our full Wooden Toys collection for more.
