Product Overview
This 17-piece wooden railroad set unfolds from its own storage case into an illustrated play surface with built-in train and road tracks. Three wooden trains and a park ranger vehicle roll past a bridge and mountain tunnel while a gondola slides across the top, and wooden buildings, animals, trees, and a railroad crossing sign round out the scene for open-ended storytelling. When playtime's done, everything folds back into the case for cleanup and take-along travel. Made for kids ages 3+, it's a nice gift pick for ages 3 to 5.
