Our take on the Big Red Engine

The Bigjigs Rail Big Red Engine is a wooden toy train with magnetic couplings, sold as a five-piece set: the engine, a carriage and three pieces of track. Its wheels steer, which is unusual for a wooden engine and helps it roll through curves and junctions. It is aimed at children aged 3 and up and is built to work with most major wooden railway brands, so it can join an existing Brio or Bigjigs layout. It is a simple, sturdy starter engine rather than a motorized or battery-powered one.
