4.0 out of 5 stars Son's first train set, December 14, 2009
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: LEGO Duplo Legoville Deluxe Train Set (5609) (Toy)
My son received this Duplo train set (5609) for his second birthday. He really enjoys watching the train go around the track and stopping it in front of the fueling station to hear the "glug glug" noise when he fuels it up. He also loves raising and lowering the traffic barriers on the track and driving the freight truck in and out. His favorite thing however is derailing the trains, crashing them into the truck, taking all the structures apart and then putting everything back together again (with a little help from mom). Thankfully the pieces are all really sturdy and have held up will to his abuse

At two years old he is a bit small for some of the fiddlier parts, such as twisting the small wheels to raise and lower the hook on the crane and to turn the conveyor belt. I could see him growing into some of these parts of the toy however, and thus hopefully maintaining his interest in this toy. We will probably extend the track in the future with some of the add-ons, although certain pieces, like the bridge, seem pretty expensive to me.

All in all, this has been a great first train set for a young child and I think he will enjoy it for a long time to come.

My 3-year old loves it. It compatible with other Thomas Lego duplo products and makes the tracks much longer. He plays for hours.

4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive but good, January 27, 2010

This review is from: LEGO Duplo Legoville Deluxe Train Set (5609) (Toy)
It's expensive, but my kids really do love this lego set. We've combined it with some other Lego duplo sets (e.g. a Thomas set), which makes it even more fun. They love having the train run on its on (unlike the Thomas sets, which have to be pushed), and "filling it up". I like how Lego makes everything fit; for example, the truck's wheels also fit on the track (so the train can push the truck around the tracks). It's also easy to put Thomas the Train's body on the front part of this set's electric train engine, and make "Electro-Thomas"

5.0 out of 5 stars 1st Duplo Set, January 24, 2010
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: LEGO Duplo Legoville Deluxe Train Set (5609) (Toy)
My son who is almost 4 loves trains. He has over 200 different Thomas trains with every track tunnel or bridge you could imagine. I thought if anything was going to get him interested in legos it would be a train set. He received this for Christmas and has enjoyed it so much. I think it has really helped with his manual dexterity. I had hoped using his hands to put the pieces together whould help him now that he is trying to learn to write. It holds his attention well and you can either push the train and truck or turn the train on and let it go by itself. You can even pretend to fill the train with diesal oil and it makes a gurgling noise.
Very well built toy.

My 21 month old son received this for Christmas from Santa and he LOVED it! Easy for him to start and stop, and connect the cars. It kept his attention and focus, plus helped his motor skills. We are planning to get more Duplo to expand his train collection. Also Amazon has the best price, and no sales tax!

This Lego train set is wonderful! My 4 year old loves trains, and this is his new favorite. What is really neat about this train, is that if it gets derailed or hits anything, it stops and turns itself off and doesn't keep running like all of the other trains we have. Way to go Lego! He is having a blast building track and changing the pieces around. A wonderful new toy! Even my 18 month old can put the track together, not the case with other sets.
