We’re mad about wooden train sets here at WoodenToyShop. They really do have something for everyone and provide children with hours of adventure and learning. We’re particularly fond of the BigJigs rail range and one of their most popular sets is the Town and Country Train Set.
This cracking little train set has over 100 different pieces and as well as a wide assortment of train track, the set also includes a smart train with three carriages, a bridge, railway station and a wide variety of other accessories including cars, people and buildings. It also represents tremendous value, being just £41.95 (at time of writing) which includes delivery to your favourite train driver. You don’t have to take our word for how good this set is, you can read an in depth customer review by Michaela and Thomas Britton by clicking here.
To celebrate all things BigJigs, we’re giving away one of their Town and Country Train Sets in our latest Wooden Wednesday competition.

i would love to win this for my two boys as a special treat for them, especially for liam who has just been signed off his speech therapy
I would love to win it because I have 3 little boys who love trains, they would be so excited by a set like this!
Would keep the 5 children amused for hours, great entertainment
I would love to win this for my son who absolutely adores trains, he always wears a hat and calls it his train driver hat! I would love this because you can't beat a stylish classic wooden toy.... they never go out of style
The wooden railway is such a timeless classic I am not sure who gets more enjoyment out of building a railway me or the kids. You can build such a different layout each time you never get bored of it also with all the funky extras like the stations, coal loging station, bridges and tunnels it allows great role play ideas.
Lovely prize and would love to win it for my little boys 4th birthday which is next month :)
My little boy has just had a new room sorted because he is disabled and all he wants to play with is trains but he only has plastic ones at the mo and they break because his muscle tone is too strong where ass wooden would be amazing for him and if he returned home from school to find it set up he would be amazed

Would be lovely to have at his granny's house as his dad and granda would have great fun playing with it and watching him enjoying it.
My little boy loves his trains, he does have a similar train set and even goes to bed with his trains! this would be a perfect addition to his set and I also have the mallard on my wish list waiting to come back in to stock for him. :-)

My son would absolutely adore this set he loves going to play at his cousin's with his trains but doesnt yet have any of his own so this set would make him so happy!
I'd love to win it as a present for my two grandsons,something they can play with together. I love traditional toys and wooden ones are the best ever, they are very social toys that encourage interaction with others, which is very important.
I would love to win it because i would donate it to a community centre i volunteer for and it would be played with loads by te children who attend the play sessions
I would love to win this train set for my two youngest daughters because they love trains and it is not pink!

I'd love to win this for my best friend's wee boy. They are moving away in a couple of weeks and I'd love for him to look at it and think of "Auntie Rhoda" (aka me). I will miss them so much! He adores trains so this would be the perfect leaving gift.

I would love to win this for my little boy but also for his pre-school so all the kids could enjoy it. It would be so well appreciated there.
I'd love to win this for my two kiddos, they love their little train set but its a bit too small for two such enthusiastic train drivers!!
My son is mad about train! Our train set is sadly not in great condition and this will help!
Wow that is a great looking train set. I would love to win this for my 2 children.
I would love to win this for my son, he loves trains but only has a starter train set the track only makes a circle, so this would be perfect to make a more exciting train track for him.
My son would love this to go with gis bigjigs station, its looking a bit lonely at the moment!
I would love to win this because it would make a perfect present for my two year old who is train mad.
My 10yr old son has a basic wooden trainset that he received as a gift for his 1st birthday which is looking tired and a little broken now as it has been played religiously by him and his 3 younger sisters. My youngest, aged 3, also has lots of fun playing with the set and is upset that some of the pieces are missing or broken. I would love to win this to give her a brand new set as a gift from her new baby sister who is due in August to help stop her feeling left out when the new baby comes and gets lots of gifts!

My son and daughter both loves trains, we are on the look out for a set at car boot sales that have just started up again in our area but it would be fantastic to win this so we could have a bit of a lay in on a Sunday x
My four siblings and I had a train set growing up and it was our favourite toy - we would all play so well together when it was out (unusual for us!). I really want my little boy Charlie to share in the same experience and I prefer wooden train sets over anything battery powered; they are powered by imagination!
i'd love to win this for my two boys. they have autism, so don't play together, but are both train mad, so it's the one time they do play.
I would love to win the train set for my little boy who is 19 months old and obsessed with trains! He will sit for 10 whole minutes quietly (if you have a toddler you will understand that this is a big thing) and watch a youtube video called The Isle of Mann Steam Trains Part 1. Which for the experts out there is a 10 minute video just full of real life steam trains, no music, no commentry, just pictures of trains and the countryside they pass!
I'd love to win this for my son because he loves the wooden train set he already has but there's always a few bits missing to make that 'perfect track' it always just seems out of reach, with some extra parts then we'd be able to make that, ever elusive, perfect track (Even despite the 'help' of a troublesome three-year-old ;) )
I'd love to win this train set to add on to the lovely wooden train track we already have (including a lovely engine that we got from Wooden Toy Shop) so that we can fill the living room with track and all 4 children can play together :)
Because my 2.5 year old would be rather 'chuffed' and my 7 month would have more things to 'choo' :)
My boy jake would love this he sits and plays for hours with them thanks
I'd love to win this set for my younger son who is cursed with always having to share his older brother's toys. We already have some wooden track, so having this would stop my two boys squabbling over it!
I'd love to win this for my Niece. She loves anything with wheels on at the moment!!
