Now we’re moving up in the world! The figure eight track with a bridge is usually the first track a young engineer will create with multiple levels. Brio has several different style bridges that you can use for this track: as long as it is 14″ long with an underpass in the center, you can swap your bridge out for the parts listed below to customize your layout.
Pieces Needed:
This basic rounded figure eight is easy to set up and fun to run trains through. The open centers of each loop are ideal for adding train stations, trees, or buildings.
Pieces Needed:
The large oval is easy to set up with basic wooden track pieces, but is a little more interesting than a standard large circle. The inner area is the perfect spot to set up a little town, a loading crane and cargo, or some farm animals.
Pieces needed:
This small oval track adds a little variety to the basic small circle while still taking up very little room. Switch out the standard straight track sections for more exciting accessory tracks of the same length to spice it up a little!
Pieces Needed:
This Brio track layout is perfect for lovers of all things Disney! Three large circles intersect to form a familiar shape. The large open spaces in the middle are perfect for Brio accessories – add a few trees and farm animals, or several train stations.
Pieces Needed:
Brio uses a numbering system to designate its standard track sizes. Straight tracks come in four basic lengths – mini, short, medium, and long.
The straight tracks are designed to work with the modular nature of the Brio wooden railway system, so each track is an exact fraction of other tracks. Two mini tracks equal the length of one short track. Two short tracks equal the length of one long track. Three medium tracks equal the length of two long tracks.
Standard straight tracks have one male (peg connector) end and one female (hole connector) end. Mini, short, and medium straights are also available as male-male (two pegs) and female-female (two holes) track pieces. These pieces make it easy to connect mismatched ends of tracks when doing complicated layouts.
This is a basic staple of Brio train tracks – the large circle. Perfect as a first track for beginning engineers. Eight large curves combine for round and round fun.
Pieces Needed:
This is the smallest continuous track it is possible to make with Brio tracks! Eight small curved tracks combine to make a tiny circle of fun. Pack this track and a single engine in a bag to take on trips to the restaurant with kids – they will stay entertained while taking up minimal space.
