Complete Train Sets
Train sets with everything included: track, engine, carriages and often a bridge, station or crossing in one box.
Everything in one box
A complete set gives a child a working layout on the first afternoon rather than a pile of parts that nearly fit. Because the track, engine and carriages are designed together, nothing has to be worked out first. It is the sensible way to start, and expansion can wait until the interest is proven.
What to look for
Count the track pieces rather than the trains, since track is what limits how interesting a layout can be. Sets with a bridge or a crossing included offer more variety than a plain loop. Check the age marking, as sets for under three use larger pieces and no small parts.
