Description

The first train in the playroom

A starter set should work without any previous experience, and that is exactly what this one is for. It provides the parts for a small train that snaps together fast and can roll straight away. Children learn to couple wagons, load cargo and lay out routes as they play. The set sits in the Trains area of the Duplo world, so it combines well with later additions from the same range if the railway starts to grow.

Colours and variety

The 64 pieces cover 24 different part types. That is quite a lot for a Duplo set and shows that wheels, bodies and special shapes sit alongside the plain bricks. Dark bluish grey, medium blue, blue and red shape the look and give the train a strong, cheerful appearance. According to the catalogue there are no figures counted, so the focus stays on the locomotive and its wagons rather than on passengers or crew.

Play, build, expand

Duplo bricks are big and sturdy, so the train copes with rough play. You can rebuild the wagons at any time, design new bodies or mix the colours. Together with bricks from other sets you can make stations, bridges or loading points. If you already own Duplo figures or animals, they can ride along as passengers. Over time the small starter box can grow into a whole railway world that you can rearrange again and again.

Parts list and collection check

The parts list on this page shows every element with its colour and quantity, which helps when buying a used set, since wheels and small pieces are easily lost. With the "What can I build?" tool you can compare the set with your own stock and see which models are possible. Bricoria is an independent site and has no connection to the manufacturer. The details come from public catalogue data.
