If your child loves trains, you know about the Thomas wooden railway, and Brio has been making a recent comeback, but there’s a newcomer to the train market: Nuchi.

Some parents may want a train that is not connected with a brand like Thomas, and some are just looking to expand their current collection with new and interesting stuff.  Nuchi can satisfy both needs.  The tracks and vehicles are compatible with BRIO, Thomas, and other wooden railway systems.  

The vehicles are simple, beautiful, and brightly colored, and they include not only trains, but also cars and animals.  My First Railway is a 15 piece set with three jungle animal cars, a bumpy loop track, and a plush mountain arch ($35, ages 2+).  We’re excited to carry a few Nuchi starter sets.  Each is beatifully packaged and makes an excellent gift for a toddler entering their age of fascination with moving machines.
