LEGO® DUPLO® Train Starter Set

Description

A first railway

Trains rank among the most popular play themes for the youngest children, and this starter set is aimed squarely at them. It belongs to the Duplo line, whose bricks are about twice the size of regular ones and therefore easy to grip. The set was released in 2005 and contains 67 pieces. They make a train that children can push across the carpet, and a base for later additions as the collection grows. A starter set lets you begin small and expand piece by piece.

Bold colours for small eyes

Dark bluish grey, red, blue and yellow form the main colours. Grey suits the chassis and track parts, while the other shades give the train character and make individual carriages easy to tell apart. Clear colours help younger children sort and name things, and during play they quickly learn which piece goes where. The same order is handy at tidy-up time, as the bricks are easy to lay out in colour groups. The train turns into a little sorting game on the side.

Parts at a glance

The 67 pieces belong to 26 different part types. There are no minifigures, so you will need to imagine the passengers or add some from other Duplo boxes. The set concentrates on the vehicle itself and the parts that go with it. For parents that makes a manageable entry point, where children can focus on building, coupling and driving without being distracted by too many separate small pieces. If a carriage falls off, it clicks back on in a second.

Expanding and reusing

The complete parts list with colours and quantities is further down this page. Duplo parts combine with other Duplo sets, so the train can grow together with a farm, a station or extra vehicles. The “What can I build?” tool shows what else your Duplo stock allows. Remember that Duplo does not connect to the smaller standard bricks, so the suggestions refer only to the larger pieces. If you own both kinds, it is best to store them apart.
