Orbrium 4 Assorted Unpainted Train Cars for Wooden Railway Compatible with Thomas, Chuggington, Brio, Great for Birthday Party Train Theme

My three year old and I had a blast painting these together today! What a cute idea this is, LOVE IT!First set we ordered had a defect where one of the cars had no magnets at all on it. No problem, they were exchanged for another set. Second time round was fine. Guess that happens sometimes?The train cars are slightly larger than the average trains of this sort too, and we noticed that some of them wouldn't go through some of the bridge pieces that were on the smaller side.Still fun though!Since my child painted it, this one is the favorite of the collection. We used acrylic paints, stickers, and a gold leaf felt pen. Also, made sure to put painter's tape over the bottom of the cars first so they would still work after being painted. (Covered up the gaps lacking paint with a gold pen.)Really good sturdy set!

These are beautifully made of very good wood. I have sorted several sets, and every one has been excellent.The excellent construction of the cars and the very good wood means it works great to decorate them in so many different ways!'You do not need to paint them, and I bought more sets when I realized that! They would be GREAT for parties and other situations where people have maybe 30 to 45 minutes to decorate one and take it home. Great party favor that for one car, costs the host $2.50 per person, plus whatever accessories they provide for decorating.I'm allergic to the whole wide world! One thing I've found that I love to do to decorate a train car is find some decorative red wooden hearts or letters or any number of other things. There are very strong-stick foam dots that will raise that wooden image up a bit and make it stick great!I am seeing why trains are so popular! I don't want train tracks, but these cars, like some others I have bought already painted, and attach to each other magnetically whenever you get them into the right position. So I can put 2,3, 4, or even more together and pose them in various places. Great fun!

Actually got this for the young people in my life, to give them something fun to do on a long train ride. The wooden trains are nice looking, well made, and they're magnets, so you can buy more and put them together. And you can make them your own. An artsy souvenir, great activity!

This is a really well made set. Good sanding. The set looks good even unpainted. Looks sturdy (to be determined by our young testers). Minor issue that not all wheels seem to be in contact with a flat surface - which almost certainly won’t be an issue on the track. I’m looking at the included catalog for other sets to buy. I had originally thought to buy just parts and make my own but this way better - and easier - than what I could do.

Got these to make custom football team trains. Haven't actually gotten around to actually painting them (those pesky kids keep needing to eat!) but it looks like it's not going to be a problem at all. Would even be good to let toddlers paint them, for a bit of fun. Good price and they work with all of the other trains. The kids haven't seemed to notice or care that they're still unfinished and have been very happily playing with them, adding them in with all the rest. Definitely recommend!

This train set is a great way to get affordable trains that your child can get creative with. I bought two sets. One I used as a cake topper for by daughter's train theme birthday cake. My artistic mother-in-law painted the train cars with a colorful and personalized design and it looked adorable on her cake. The other set I gave to my daughter and let her draw on it with standard markers. Even though we don't have any tracks yet, she loves to play with the train cars, and when she gets older and we do get wooden tracks this will be a great personalized addition to the set.

I purchased this train to be painted. I have used acrylic paints on wood before so I expected the same as my previous experience, though I was a little disappointed. The wood wasn't sanded fine enough for me, for painting purposes. I found the front train was very sloppily cut and put together. There were sharp wood pieces sticking out that I had to paint around. I made it work, but I cannot say I was impressed with the quality. I have purchased other brands of wooden train set accessories, and I thought these would have been the same quality based on the reviews.On a happy note, the magnets seemed to work great. I tested those out before I started to paint. In the end it will serve the purpose. But I can't say the quality made me thrilled, so besides paining unpainted trains, I will stay away from this brand in the future. In the end I think my toddler will be happy, the train is still very cute. (I will update review after Christmas 2018).

Not cheap wood and no visible glue marks. Fits all the track we already had. Very smooth.
