The winner of the train set is Kiersten! She said, “Oh boy. My little C would love any of the vehicle toys, but I think he’d love that train set with the swinging bridge the most of all. He’s obsessed with trains right now, and I haven’t even introduced Thomas the Train to him yet!”

MY REVIEW
Wooden toy trains are as classic boy as you can get, and my 4 year old loves the constructing, destructing, driving, and crashing that is inevitably involved.
Like all their toys, the Melissa & Doug train sets are made of wood and are solid and nearly indestructible. To me, the wood is really a big deal. It just feels a little heavier and more natural, and I love it!
The Swivel Bridge Train Set comes with a 3-car train, a few trees, and a conductor. Each car is painted wood and has little magnetic connectors on the ends. The Zoo Animal Train Set also comes with a 3-car train, and two of the cars have little baskets and a little painted wooden animal that fits in each one. (That’s Gus’s favorite…but they’re all mixed together and the boys love it all!)
The Swivel Bridge set comes with plenty of curved and straight pieces of varying lengths, plus little track supports and ascending/descending track so there are some really cool track construction possibilities. Putting the whole thing is like a puzzle, which my boys love!
The Swivel Bridge Train Set comes with a wooden tunnel and a swivel bridge with gates that automatically open and close. Moving parts are always a huge hit with my boys, and Elliot has swiveled that thing to death!
Building fancy train tracks is something I can really get into, so it’s a great way to keep us all entertained together. All wooden railway sets are compatible, so the collecting can begin!
