Brio - Juli 2012
 

 
BRIO Railway autumn releases hit retail shelves in August
 
In autumn BRIO Railway sets out on an epic journey – with high technology! True to the motto “Freight and Travel” the remote-controlled freight engine goes full steam ahead – being this year’s autumn highlight! The Rail & Road Deluxe-Railway Set combines tracks and roads to the ultimate, unparalleled play experience. And the Metro City Train Set offers sheer city adventure on two levels. All autumn releases are available at specialized toy stores from August 2012.

BRIO Railway expands their range this autumn! When days are closing in, children look forward to new play fun and excitement indoors, i.e. five amazing new BRIO Railway Sets with exciting accessories for tracks and roads. And specialized toy stores offer two sets of a special kind.

 

 
The new RC Freight Train Set (Item-No. 33517, SRP: 49.99 €) innovatively combines high technology and usual wooden BRIO elements: The train is operated with a unique, child-appropriate controller which is easy to use. It includes reverse and stop functions as well as two different forward speeds. Press the buttons for light and sound effects. Lost your controller? No problem! You may also operate the train by use of the buttons on the engine. Thanks to the two-channel RC remote control, two players may gain exciting play experiences by operating two engines at the same time on a single wooden track system. The RC Freight Engine (Item-No. 33213, SRP: 29.99 €) is part of the accessory range and sold separately.




BRIO Bahn XXL

 
You just can get enough of BRIO! The Rail & Road Deluxe-Railway Set (Item-No. 33052, SRP: 249 €) with 87 amazing pieces leaves nothing to be desired. Never before has BRIO offered so much BRIO Railway in a single set: passenger trains, freight trains, harbour scenes and metro fun, complete with train station, cranes, bridges and figurines. Create a whole city and its infrastructure to your own needs and desires! This set perfectly equips little urban planners for their next birthday or play school party.

 



 

 
Roads and tracks on a smaller scale provides the Car Transporter Rail & Road Set (Item-No. 33212, SRP: 39.99 €): The car transporter wagon is able to back against the road ramp. Once in place the safety barrier will stay open to let the car drive onto the wagon and then automatically fall back down again. Take the car to its final destination and release it back onto the roads by tilting the wagon ramp!




BRIO Classic Line

 
Younger children – and their nostalgic parents – look forward to the new Classic Railway Deluxe Set (Item-No. 33098, SRP: 89.99 €). This set expands the range of classic wooden railways in traditional BRIO design for children aged 2+ by adding two new classic engines that take the goods to the crane where they can be unloaded. Packed in an exclusive wooden storage box this set features trains in the countryside transporting wood loads. The simple but beautiful locomotives, wagons and freight are perfectly shaped for young hands. Children aged 2+ are able to experiment with tracks, curves, buffers, and points and thus create their first rail systems. Die jüngeren Geschwister – und ihre nostalgischen Eltern - freuen sich auf das neue Set Classic Line Deluxe (Art-Nr. 33098, UVP: 89,99 €). Die klassische Holzeisenbahn im traditionellen BRIO-Look für Kinder ab bereits 2 Jahre wird hier um ein Set mit zwei Loks erweitert, die Holzladungen zum Kran bringen, der sie für sie umlädt. Verstaut in einer hochwertigen Holzbox bietet das Set jede Menge Verladespaß im Wald. Die einfachen formschönen Loks, Wagen und Ladungen sind auch für kleinere Kinderhände geeignet. Mit der Weiche, einem Prellbock und 16 Schienen können 2-Jährige experimentieren und erste eigene Strecken legen.

 



Railway meets City

 

 
Roads and tracks, railway and city: BRIO’s play worlds bring together what belongs together in the world of grown-ups! And the top autumn release, the Metro City Train Set (Item-No. 33514, SRP: 79.99 €), combines everything on two levels: The elevated layout features the travel train, taking passengers to their next stop. At the elevated platform station, passengers can connect to the Metro train below by cranking the knob and taking the lift down. The Metro layout below features the blue line, including a metro tunnel and train. Push the metro train for electronic light and sound effects and watch the train go inside the tunnel.




 
Where there is heavy traffic, railwayman will of course need a road repair team. Press the button on the traffic cone of the funny Road Repair Site (Item-No. 33718, SRP: 19.99 €) and the road will break up into three piece. But no need to worry: The road roller vehicle will soon repair and flatten the road so that cars can drive on it once again! No construction site can do without a Cement Truck (Item-No. 33556, SRP 9.99 €). Young builders may spin the cement mixer and open the truck cabin to discover what it looks like inside! And the Forklift (Item-No. 33573, SRP 14.99 €) transports everything that’s possibly needed on the site.
