Lego Duplo 10506 Train Accessory Set Track System

Pros:Contains switch points which are great for kids to learn switch mechanism of tracksContains a level crossing helpful to teach kids the conceptMany track combinations can be formed with Lego My First Train SetCons:NoneRecommended for those buying Lego train sets with the Lego Track system.

A good supplement toy for Duplo's train starter kit.Quite expensive though.

Fine balance between complexity and ease-of-use for children. Good job, Lego.

I bought this for my grandson to go with his Duplo Numbers Train, it is very nice and I am basically very pleased with my purchase and the quality lived up to my expectation. However the train we already have will not go over the "points" as the wheels are too wide ( it works fine on the rest of the track! ), also as it's an Accessory Set and obviously meant to be an addition to another set one cannot make a complete track from it ie a circle or figure of eight etc. This leaves me in the position of now having to purchase another set ( probably Set 10507 ) with more track and a train that will be able to go over the "points" and " level crossing"!. However having said all this it was probably my fault for not checking properly and when I have the additional set it should be a really lovely train set for my grandson to play with when he visits granny and grandad's house and I think we will enjoy playing with it with him as well!!

We bought the kids the deluxe Duplo train set for Christmas and I bought one of these accessory sets to give them more track to play with, Since Christmas they have played with the train set each day but kept running out of track for their track creations.I spent some time reviewing what was the best way of adding additional track. There are some offers of straight tracks or bends sold as a multipack on amazon but these seemed very expensive so I ended up buying 2 more accessory packs as this was the cheapest way. You get 8 sections of bends and 5 sections of straight track, 2 points and a level crossing. This makes the set great value.My only observation (and this is for Lego in general rather than about this set) is that it would be nice to have some additional stand alone items, eg trains, bridges etc

Just what we wanted for our two year old grandson, to add to other Duplo.

The quality as with all Duplo is good. We were a little disappointed that we were only able to make one configuration with all of the extra pieces if we wanted to use both point sets as well. We used it with the large track set not the 'My first train set' .The track is best set up on a hard floor surface and fixes together very easily.

Perfect
