Anyone have, had, play with, used to...? I just had a revival to play with them again. I haven't been up to date with them in maybe 5 years since the store that had a huge selection of them went OOB. So anyone? Anyone? And also, I'm curious if anyone also has those second-rate Thomas tracks which are ok, but Brio are better. There is also a company called Micki that makes tracks. I have a few of them, but they don't always fit good with Brio. I also have some other company, which I can't identify.
No Lionel and metal track stuff...just...well Brio-style.

yeah i used to have brio. my mum's (part) german so i got a whole bunch of german toys like that... cos brio seems to be huge over there still (while kids over here seem to be obsessed with nothing more than setting fire to their latest furbie...)
was really more of a lego fan myself, but brio was still cool :)
still got mine in a box somewhere...

Lego are also good. As a matter of fact, I've been combining the two and have for a while. I used to make...stilts I guess you call them out of lego because I never had enough. I never have enough Brio, no matter what I do.
I might be interested in buying yours if you find them. I could always use more and if they are cheap...I need a new battery engine especially because the one I have(it's yellow and red) only makes a meter in 9.5 seconds. I tried to change the gears, but it was way too complicated.
There are virtually no fan sites out there. I tried searching and found a handful of FAQs, but that is all. Maybe I should make a fansite!
