5.0 out of 5 stars High quality, little ones love it, April 6, 2007

My 3 Sons (Durham, NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PlanToys Plan City Road System (Deluxe) (Toy)

We bought this, as well as some additional road & "plan city" items to add to our kid's Brio train setup. The whole line seems high quality & it was a big hit w/ the boys. They like their trains, but they love their cars & trucks too!

Plan city makes some nice little wooden vehicles, but this roadway set works just as well with Thomas, Brio, and even hotwheels, matchbox, etc cars.

The fact that it integrates so well with Brio, Thomas etc is great (even comes with a "crossing" road / track part!... although trying to work this into a train table that's already "full" can be pretty challenging! We're at the point where we have to "rotate" certain accessories in & out (which is good... keeps the toy fresh... and is fun for Dad to try to come up with new layouts... that actually fit on the table!).

Only downside... if you expand this set w/ additional road packs, you might need a male/male &/or female/female section... which they don't seem to sell. I'm actually making one of each by cutting two pieces in half & glueing the two male ends together & the two female ends together.

This review is from: PlanToys Plan City Road System (Deluxe) (Toy)

We bought this to go with the Plan City Station. We definately needed it. Unlike other roading systems (eg Thomas) this is a two way road which is nice. It has some pieces that have railroad crossings so you can combine any Thomas-compatible wooden railway pieces with the roads (We have Circo and Imaginarium).

The only problem (and the reason I gave it 4 stars not 5) is that there are no smaller straight pieces of road, which makes it difficult to make different shapes with the road. When it is connected to the City Station there is a fixed length that is the station that you need to match the rest of the roading system to so you can close the loop, and because the pieces of roading are all the same length it is difficult to do when you have a confined space. It may be possible to buy additional short pieces which would give you more play options.

Our set of Plan City stuff - the garage, airport, etc. - is much more fun now with the roads to connect all of it. Well made, easy to put together, and not too many pieces to overwhelm a 4 year-old but still fun enough to interest my older kids. You can also connect any wooden train tracks to it for added train action fun.
