The concept of a smaller set of trains and carriages for the 2-7 age range is not a new one and in fact I personally created the very first set of Log Trains and Carriages over 15 years ago which went on to great success and has since been emulated and improved by many play companies in the industry.
So when I was first shown the concepts for the Early Years Express I was really pleased that we had moved away from the existing design trends and created something fresh and new and yet still retained all the fun and excitement that is normally associated with this type of product.
The Early Years Express can be purchased as a complete set with Ernie the Engine and 3 carriages or as individual units so you can start with just Ernie and maybe one carriage, then add more carriages at a later date when your customer wants them. To enhance the whole imaginative and role play scene, we can also supply a Ticket Office Panel which features a "Next Train" Clock with rotating hands and a Station Shop Panel which features a swivelling "Open/Closed" sign and an Ice Cream graphic, both these panels can be supplied with or without 100% recycled plastic posts.
Ernie the Engine and the Carriages are very stable products with a low centre of gravity making them particularly suitable for freestanding use in the playground, however ground lugs are available if the units need to be anchored to the ground.
