BRIO set will do for starters

Young railway enthusiasts have a new train set to consider following the launch of the Fun on the Farm Starter Set from BRIO.

A battery-driven wooden train is at the heart of the layout, drawing two wagons behind it. A pair of sheep are looking on with interest, having escaped from their pen (you’ll need to organise the fence pieces a bit better than they are in this picture!).

The figure-of-eight track has an attractive grassy hill to climb over (with a tunnel to go through on the return journey) and on the other side is a stable with a horse looking out and a BRIO horse-rider figure, along with straw bale pieces.

With 25 pieces in all, the Fun on the Farm Starter Set is priced around £25.99.
