I wanna Cheapest Wooden Train Track (sim. BRIO)

Does anyone know where I can buy the cheapest wooden train track that is compatible with BRIO.

I am aware all companies, from supermarkets to Boots and ELC make them, so I was wondering who sells the cheapest. I can buy individually.

Thanks

  • Not sure if it's compatible with Brio but Oxfam have recently been selling off their boxed train sets (children of the world & animals of the world) for just 99p, they're really nice & have track, trains and children figures in them - excellent value

    Again. not sure if compatible with Brio, but Tchibo have one they sell.
    There is a code for free P&P (£3.95) on the board somewhere - do a search for Tchibo to find it.

    Try Asda. I bought my son a set at Christmas with 100 pieces for about £8. It looks the same as Brio and I'm sure it fits as well.

    im pretty certain that just about ALL the wooden tracks are compatible with each other. I would suggest steering clear of the track that connect with pegs rather than a solid piece as they can get broken easily & can pose a choking hazard to younger children.
    hope that helps.

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    ikea's tracks have the plastic peg - rather than solid one piece bit - and also though it said compatible will all wooden train sets [you know they mean brio] the bridges are too low for tesco or brio trains to fit under. [so every time we go in a train now my 3 yr old asks if we are going to crash into the bridge!]

    also having a prob with chad valley [woolies] tracks. the curve is just too tight for brio trains, and the angle of the bridges just too much for the motorised brio trains.

    [can you tell i have a house full of train addicts yet?]

    found the tesco track to be very good value. i think it was £1.50 for 4 straight or 4 curved pieces. [certainly under £2]. no probs with angles, but the blue iron-style bridge a little too narrow for brio trains.

    also found boots selling off brio track - also packs of 4 - for just under £2, but this was just after xmas, last year and year before. also boots last xmas had loads of brio trains reduced - certainly worth looking after next xmas.

    now must go to recreate the district line on the floor again.....
  • Came across a new website that has just opened selling wooden train sets and tracks at www jkoys.co.uk . Currently hace opening offers on and if you use the voucher code welcome10 then you get an extra 10% off.

    I just got a set of 8 junctions for £9 - much cheaper than I could find even second hand on eBay; hopefully these aren't just opening offers - the voucher code is valid until next March.
