   Patrick – November 20, 2015

   My twin 2 year old boys love wooden train sets. I admit that by and large I’ve been a bit of a Thomas purist when it comes to buying them and I have many Thomas pieces.The problem is that I’ve looked high and low for good track supports/risers and I just could not find any. Thomas supports are really kind of bad. They are expensive and don’t even hold the track up well and my boys end up being frustrated when the hills fall over!So, I searched high and low for better track supports and spent more money on different versions than I care to admit.Then I came across these and saw the great reviews and decided to try them out. They are truly awesome! Everything I was looking for. The are very stable. They can be easily stacked to multiple heights. The fit together easily. Definitely a big eye opener. I can finally make interesting multi-level hills for my boys without them falling over or gluing the tracks down. Really awesome stuff! (Well, as far as wooden trains go anyway).The only downside for me is that these do get kind of pricey. At 2 per pack, I needed 4 packs to do what I really wanted to do, which is have one curve on a train table with a 1 then 2 level hill. So, that’s $44. I mean, I guess many thomas buildings cost that and I’ve paid it, but it’s just kind of amazing how much these wooden track sets costs.Anyway, I’m very happy with these and my boys now finally have some cool hills that don’t just fall over at the slightest breeze. Glad I looked around outside the Thomas brand. 🙂

   Updating my review: We’ve passed Year 4 with this accessory, and we are still finding great ways to use it. No matter what kind of track we build, this accessory is always included in some way. No problems with quality or durability. Adding one more photo from today’s track.Our household is on our second generation of Thomas fans, and this support structure is an exceptional addition to our tracks. With two sets, you can set up a double hill with plenty of opportunity to create tracks that cross under and over. Be aware that this set needs ascending tracks, and NONE come in the box. I found a pack of eight ascending tracks at a great price (link provided). I especially like that, if you stack the supports to make the middle of the hill double-high, the supports click together for stability. The other positive in design is that there is a support rest for the ascending tracks, so they don’t slip off. I’ve included a picture of a very simple set-up that uses two sets of supports and two sets of ascending tracks going “east/west”, and a third set of ascending tracks going “north/south” through the middle level. As you can see, Gordon and all the similarly-sized Thomas friends glide easily under the support tower.  ORBRIUM Toys Wooden Railway Ascending Tracks, Pack of 8 Compatible with all major wooden railways including Thomas, Brio, Chuggington, Imaginarium

   Once you star using these stacking track supports you’ll wonder how you (and your kiddo) ever lived without them. There really is no going back after incorporating these into your layouts. They are so much fun and the possibilities are endless.The only reason I am giving these 4 stars rather than 5 is because the price is beyond ridiculous! We have a ton of Brio trains and train sets (really, it’s embarrassing how many we have) so I’m used to their relatively high price, but this item is their single biggest rip off. You only get 2 track supports, all of which is plastic except for the built in track. While these are definitely sturdy and well built, you can’t justify charging $15 for a couple ounces of plastic.I plan on setting up a price watch for this item using camelcamelcamel.com and waiting for the price to drop to around $10 before I’ll pick up another few sets (definitely check this site out if you want to set up price drop alerts or check to see a products life price history).Brio knows 2 of these track supports isn’t enough to do much, so they’re definitely counting on people like myself returning for more. And I feel obligated to shame Brio for charging such a ludicrous amount for what amounts to very little, lightweight plastic. Brio’s Double Suspension Bridge comes with 20x more wood and plastic than this yet cost only a few dollars more.Unfortunately there aren’t any alternate stacking track supports that will work for us. The Maxim brand doesn’t have built in track which makes for unsteady and collapse-prone layouts, and Bigjigs doesn’t have the curved indentation in the underside of their supports to allow for our Brio and Thomas trains to go through.

   First off, Brio railway wooden trains and their accessories are the absolutely the best in the business. We’ve bought less expensive wooden trains sets, they just don’t last. Though they are a bit more expensive, and have taken a lot of saving to slowly add to the basic set we bought our son when he was young, it’s been worth the effort. Our grandkids have played with them for years now, and yet they are still in like new condition.After using several other bridging pieces (all from Brio) for our grandsons Brio trains, these are the best for the youngest kids (3 & 4 year olds). Except for the 3 piece all wooden bridge from Brio, the plastic “rock” bridges and the ones w wooden bases with plastic top, this set stays up unless they are purposely knocked over. That goes for the Brio Suspension bridges as well. The older kids do just fine with the more precarious bridges.Bump the track, bump the bridges, they stay together. That is important with 3 & 4 year olds playing with the trains!

   The more we get of these the more we wish we had! ;-)They are so much better than normal risers because they keep everything together and don’t fall over easily. These make so many more options to your regular track. We love them.

   We’re enjoying the item. It just doesn’t add new storylines for imaginative play.

   Bought this for my grandson. He builds tracks all the time. These are very useful and good supports for building train tracks
