BigJigs Train Set Guide

Now if you and your little ones are fans of trains and train sets then you can't do much better than a BigJigs Train Set. As well as having a fantastic choice of trains, train sets and wooden train track made by BigJigs Rail, they're also extremely well made and will stand the test of time.

It seems that everywhere our family goes there's a train set and table by BigJigs, whether it be the local play centre, the local pre-school or even the local doctor's surgery, they all seem to have a train set made by BigJigs to entertain their visitors.

As well as the fact that they are well made, I think the main attraction of the BigJigs train set is its variety. There are just so many themes to their well thought out sets and once you have one, there are plenty of opportunities to add to the set with their fantastic range of wooden trains and track extensions and other additions such as tunnels, bridges and stations.

There are so many BigJigs Train Sets to choose from so here are our best-selling sets:

1) BigJigs Town And Country Train Set

BigJigs Town and Country Train Set

At an impressive 101 pieces, this is the best-selling train set from BigJigs on WoodenToyShop.co.uk.

It’s an absolute little cracker and has a bit of everything so it’s perfect for the first time train set enthusiast in the family. As well as plenty of easy to fit together track, it also has a bright red train with three carriages, all connected by magnetic hook ups, a level crossing, a bridge and plenty of vehicles, trees, buildings and there’s even a boat thrown in for good measure.

2) BigJigs Mountain Railway Set

BigJigs Mountain Railway Set

As the name suggests, the theme on this impressive 112 piece train set is the mountain. And what a mountain it is. The bright yellow engine has to haul three cargo wagons up and then down a pretty fierce range of mountains included in the set and this will be a feat for even the most skilful junior train driver. The trains are likely to go at some speed down the mountain, over the two bridges and hopefully gaining control before reaching the station to pick up the next load of passengers.

It’s not for the faint hearted this one and will have the hearts racing as adventure after adventure is played out in the rocky scenery. As well as the mountain and its bridges, there are also plenty of other exciting features to the set including a crane to deal with the freight wagons, lots of trees to give the set an Alpine feel and lots of people, vehicles (including a digger and steam roller!) to go alongside the impressive station building.

This is a fantastic wooden train set and will provide children with hours of hours of imaginative play and excitement. Hold on tight!

Track layout size: 123cm x 86cm approx

3) BigJigs Construction Train Set

This impressive 116 piece wooden train set is a must for the construction toys fan in the family. The centrepiece is the mightily impressive red crane which you just know can handle all the freight being pulled along by the two trains and six freight wagons. The trains are obviously delivering building materials to the partially constructed skyscraper which is under construction within another impressive structure, the spiral track on raised platforms which is a true engineering masterpiece.

As well as all this, there are lots of accessories such as construction workers, diggers, cement mixers and an excavator which makes this set absolutely perfect for the want-to-be builder in your family.

4) BigJigs Freight Train Set

BigJigs Freight Train Set

Well, where do we start with this impressive 116 piece set from BigJigs? As you can tell from the title, it’s a freight theme this time and the set includes two hard working engines pulling along some wagons which have magnetic buttons on top so that the rather nifty freight crane can lift the loads off the wagons as they go by. There’s a very impressive looking suspension bridge in the set together with two other bridges to really give the set an extra dimension. The centrepiece is the brightly coloured Central Station which can house those hard working engines after a long day’s work.

Track layout size: 110cm x 74cm approx.

BigJigs Services Train Set and Table

This is a perfect wooden train set for kids who want their train set up and running all the time as it comes with a train table so at the end of a day’s play it can simply be moved to one side rather than being taken apart and packed away for the night. As well as the train table, the wonderful fifty nine piece set includes a double tunnel, a bridge, high level risers and a lovely multi-coloured engine with a pair of passenger carriages. The set also includes a fuel station, a boat and a super red helicopter and helipad. Great fun!

    Oh wow! I love them! My little boy has just turned two and I think he would love one for Christmas! I'd want to join the town and country ones together! Like the idea of the services one with a little table and I know my son would cling to the little helicopter!
