Little Tikes Train
A complete train set is beautiful when it’s all set up and laid out across the coffee table or playroom floor. And it is fun, too, with its moving trains and props that add visual effect. But what happens when it’s time to move it? Then, chances are, it’s not so pretty or fun. Most train sets don’t just pack up and move very easily.
Not unless they’re one of the portable Little Tikes Train sets. This special sub-genre of toy train sets has several models that are so easy to tote around, you could bring them along on the next family vacation trip.
A prime example of what you’ll find in the Little Tikes Train set series is the Little Tikes Fold Up and Go Train set, which sports a sporty red locomotive and caboose that chugs along an oval railway enclosing a green pasture with a pretty nature scene: mountain, lake, country cottage, and a bridge bearing the Little Tikes logo. The whole set folds up and seals shut into an automotive carry case for easy tugging around.
The Fold Up and Go Train set’s locomotive makes five different tooting sounds (the power comes from two AA batteries, which you buy separately). More sound effects are emitted from the caboose’s two passengers—an elephant who trumpets and a monkey who claps his hands. The train set is recommended for children ages 18 months to 3 years.
The Apple Grove Pals Train Playset is another fun model in the Little Tikes Train set series. There is no railway or board with this one. It’s a freestanding locomotive-plus-caboose and a standalone station that houses the two.
This train set is a spinoff of the Little Tikes’ storybook series, the Apple Grove Pals, whose three animal characters teach young readers about worthy personal virtues to develop. The train set includes three figurines molded after each character, all small enough to ride on the train. Equally cool, each character has a hat that is removable and fits onto the heads of any other two.
The Apple Grove Pals Train Playset also comes with “Bears Share,” one of the books in the series. The locomotive’s smokestack moves up and down as the train moves, and the press of a button on the locomotive plays “She’ll be coming round the mountain.” The train play set’s recommended age group is 18 months to 4 years.
