Ds seems really keen on a railway system at nursery which seems to be Brio. I'd like to get it for him for Xmas or at least, since I gather it is quite expensive, ask relatives to give a railway carriage each or something like that! Thing is, it seems to have so many parts that I don't know where to start. Do you just buy a starter kit with a few pieces of track and a couple of carriages or is it something where having a bridge and a tunnel make all the difference IYSWIM? ie can he enjoy it with just a few parts and if so, which ones, or does he need all the pieces?
Also, where do you buy it? ELC didn't seem to have it but snootily offered me their own version!
Thanks
