Toy trains have been a favorite toy of children for many years and have been manufactured by toy companies since the 1930s. In the 1950s, the Brio company in Sweden began to make wooden train sets that became very popular throughout the world.

For the past seven years, the Brio line hasn't been available in the United States but it has come back. Schylling, a toy distributor based in Massachusetts, has recently been given exclusive rights to sell/distribute BRIO's products.

Brio's Classic Figure 8 Set is a wonderful example of the quality toys produced by the company. The set includes 22 wooden pieces that include an easy to assemble train track, train station, crossing bridge, 3 trees and a 3 piece train. This set is recommended for children ages 2 and up. The sturdy construction and bright colors makes this the perfect first train set for any young child.
