Its the 90s you’re walking down your local town high street and you see this in the ELC window.

  1. My local library had one. Spent many a Saturday playing on that thing with the parents trying to get me to choose books

  3. I loved brio and then tomy when I was a bit older. I also wish I’d never given away all my hornby stuff when I was a teenager and wanted to be cool 🙈🙈

  5. My toddler loves brio! We have a track permenantly set up in the living room now

  6. Something like this feels like a dream about my childhood in a very magic sort of way. 🤩

  9. My kid had one of these before he upgraded to the blue plastic Thomas the Tank Engine track set.

    I’m due to become a Grandad this year and the disappearance of ELC means I’m stuck for places to buy good preschool toys, I think. Other than The Entertainer I can’t think of many toy shops.

  10. I had so much Brio and found out when I was older that it’s because my parents liked playing with it as much as I did. I’d make some shitty track that didn’t make any logistical sense and run my trains along it. When I went to bed, my parents would scrap my track and build a longer circuit that allowed a train to get to any point of the track in any direction without having to pick it up and turn it around. To achieve this, they needed more, bigger bridges and better pieces, so Father Christmas always brought me some Brio every year.

  11. I love this shit. I’d even play with it now as an adult

  12. Used to play with so much brio when I was young, fast forward 20 years and I’ve just had my first child. Went to my parents house and they told me to come up in the loft. They pulled out two massive boxes of all of our old brio!

    I’m so excited for him to be able to play with it all, mainly because it means I’ll get to play with it all again!

  13. Had one of these and my mum sold it when I stopped playing with it, I still like to make her feel guilty now as a 32 year old that she took it away from me 😂

  14. My daughter has both of those.

    Are you taking photos through my living room window? /Jk.

  15. My dad’s pal stole me a brio trainset from the early learning centre for my 5th birthday, I was well chuffed, obviously completely oblivious to the fact it was stolen goods 😆

  16. My parents used to leave me and my sister playing with this in the Early Learning Centre while they did their shopping in town. Different times man.
