Can't make a figure 8 with provided pieces

Lauren - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
Please note the two different type "A" tracks in the picture. That is from the set of instructions provided. There is no way to make the set a figure 8. It's frustrating enough that every item (puzzles, puppets, etc) that we've purchased from Melissa and Dave is dented or damaged in some way, but pulling this out on Christmas Eve to set up for Christmas morning has just ensured that this is the last M&D purchase we'll make.

I bought this set to expand a smaller set I already owned. The pieces all fit well together and they seem to be good quality. My kids really enjoy playing with it, they especially love the bridge.
Well thought out parts

The tracks are great, a perfect fit with another popular brand. Kiddo loves the little stopper piece and the bridge. The magnets on the train and coal car a noticeably weaker than our other set. But that's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.
Grandson loves it!

Grandson loves it . We got it to use with an eight piece train set we got him. The curves are a little too tight for a long train.

Excited to give this to my son. Looks to be great quality and he it is simple enough for my 2 year old to not be overwhelmed. He loves trains, but I did not want a track that takes a lot of work to set up correctly or that takes up a huge amount of storage space!
Yes, we would definately purchase this product again.

My son loves Trains!! He is six years old and has a collection of trains and wooden tracks... He really wanted to make a figure eight track, I found this set and purchased it for him.

These wooden tracks, the kids love... the are easy for a child to put together and it helps with their imagination they can create any type of train track layout

I bought this train set for my granddaughter who is turning two years old. She enjoys trains. The set is simple and safe and will work with the Thomas and Friends pieces.

Starbright - 8 years ago
The Melissa and Doug train set was sturdy and strong. The Chuggington and Thomas trains both fit perfectly on the tracks. However, the Chuggington trains (specifically Wilson and Koko) did not fit under the bridge. Unfortunately I had to return the train tracks. I would recommend the train tracks as long as you aren't using Chuggington wooden trains.
Well worth the money!

I bought this for my toddler and he adores it. It's a perfect simple set for kids who aren't old enough to really build the tracks. It fits his other toy trains too.
I am hooked!

I am going to build a serious layout geared toward modeling a yard and industrial complexes,only with wooden trains instead of model trains. I ordered several M and D diesel engine double packs as they are very well thought out with regard to resembling diesels perhaps in Britain. This figure 8 set is the first of many track and train purchases to come.
AN EXCELLENT VALUE

This is a perfect beginner train set. It will make your children use their imaginations and keep them entertained for hours at a time. Also, you can build upon this "starter" set with other tracks, trains, and dozens of other street accessories. I have found Melissa & Doug items to be so durable that they can be passed down for years and years to come.
