Brand compatibility

A lot of different brand distribute compatable items ... not too much...

Nearly all brands of wooden rails are compatable : the small slack from one rail to another make no problem... since they are designed in Europe. Chinese circuits are often of a poor quality (imperfect sandpapering, wood too light , magnets too weak).

That affects also the bests: the "my first electric railway" from Brio with a wagon does not pass above bridge 33351 which is very common in sets, some more grams in the front would have avoided that. There has been no answer from Brio to this problem so far... On the other hand, engines with two batteries does not show this problems...

If you experience other incompatibilities, please notify us !
