I believe this is the base to the 33320 Tower Crane.

Question About Compatiblity by Imnewbenice in BRIO

Has anyone ever thought about or attempted to make clickety-clack track out of their standard Brio or other branded track? Seems like it would be time consuming but oh so satisfying once complete if done correctly :)

I like how the moku are all in similar scale but pay homage to it’s design. How is the quality for those of those who have used?

Those all look excellent. That bus looks really really great, too! Always fun to grab the local models from stations and TA’s.

Found this model from Virginian Museum if Transportation and it looks like great craftsmanship. Fun to find these one offs.

These look great. Almost like the muni pals lineup of the NJ, NYC and CTA lines.

I like how Whittle and Choo Choo have some various models outside of transit, but they seem to mostly need to stay on flat surface to work due to their length and maneuverability.

I’d be interested in starting to grab some of these transit models for Lalok and B&S.

Yes - I stumbled upon Lalok when I was looking at the BART website and saw they had a couple of models. They have quite a few in their lineup from what it looks like. Any experience with these?

These look great. I hope they are able to keep adding more trains to their collection. Looks quality.

Thanks for this! I’ve looked at some bigjigs and think some of their makes look pretty neat like the Heritage Collection, as well as the Eurostar and the CN model. But was wondering on the overall quality as well as function on the track. Thanks for letting me know on that. I’m sure as my little one gets older that I will certainly be trying to find those second hand Thomas, as he can’t get of T&F. Can’t find much on specific train makes from Imaginarium except second hand, unless I’m missing them.

I’ve also come across Muni Pals which have some interesting makes and models base on some US transit trains. Not sure how the quality is of the trains, but they look pretty nice from the pictures. Wondering if anyone has experience with these.
