The ‘Mega Train’ game

About the game

Watch out, the train’s leaving! The cat-engine driver is all set for the journey, whilst the owlets, rabbits, monkeys, baby elephants and other little animals are rushing to take their seats in the carriages. Who will get which carriage today?

‘Mega Train’ is a large wooden build-and-play set featuring a locomotive and seven colourful carriages. All 81 pieces are interchangeable, so passengers can be moved around and the carriages can be filled in new ways.

A new train formation, new passengers and a new journey every time — the little train driver will have plenty to keep them busy.

In the set

• base: 47 × 33 cm
• a locomotive and 7 carriages in 7 colours
• 81 pieces: roofs, doors, wheels, animal passengers, luggage — all interchangeable

How to play

1. Remove the carriage parts.
