This review is from: NameTrain Town Set (Toy)

The #1 reason we went for this train set is because it was made in Vermont from sustainably harvested hardwoods. The economic, political, and environmental benefits of buying something made domestically tipped the scales for us--we were willing to pay more for this set versus getting more "stuff" for the dollar with other train sets. Maple Landmark is heirloom quality and I feel that many generations of children will use and enjoy this set. It is much beloved by our son, and I feel very certain that we made the right choice, especially since we tested out a wide array of sets before we landed on this one (e.g., Thomas, Kidcraft, etc.).

The nice thing about this particular configuration is that it has everything you need for it to feel complete. It had a big wow factor on Christmas morning, and all the adults around are impressed with all that it came with. There is a really nice selection of vehicles, including a boat, an airplane, a race car, a tow truck, and an ambulance along with the traditional train. Our son really loves cars and trucks, so this is a considerable bonus. His favorite car is the tow truck and he enjoys naming the different types of vehicles.

The vehicles are a high point to this set--they are richly detailed with nice, strong magnets. I also looove the trees. My husband really likes the houses (so does our son) but I wish they were printed on both sides. The tracks are fine--they don't seem very different from any other set. The cross-hatched lines for track aren't anything special

When all is said and done, we all love the set and I would definitely buy it again. It is hard to find toys made in the United States, and this one does not disappoint. Our 18 month old plays with this far more than any of his other toys.
