Every great railway starts somewhere. This is yours.

My First Wooden Train Set is a complete 22-piece starter kit designed to be a child's first proper railway. It includes everything you need to start building, exploring, and storytelling — a wooden train engine, two magnetic carriages that connect together, a tunnel with a ringing bell, twelve track pieces, and six scene accessories including a house and trees. Out of the box, your child can build their first oval track, send the train through the tunnel (listen for the bell), and set the whole scene with the buildings and trees.

It's also designed to grow with them. The track and trains are compatible with most other major wooden train brands — including Brio and Thomas — so families who already own train sets can expand their layouts straight away, and new sets can grow over time as your child's collection builds.

A small note: this set requires self-assembly, which is part of the fun and a great first project to do together. It's recommended from age 3, when children have the dexterity to connect track pieces and the imagination to bring the whole world to life. For a bigger set, take a look at the Lost World Dinosaur Railway Set, Gold Mine Train Set, and Farmyard Train Set. Or for a single themed train as a smaller gift, the Wooden Cargo Train and Wooden Dinosaur Train are perfect.
