Train Sets
Train Set with Bridge
100006204€59.99
This train set with bridge combines a 55-piece wooden railway layout with a 5-piece train and a full 500 cm track length for extended floor play. FSC® 100%-certified beechwood shapes the rails, while the bridge section changes the route profile with an elevated span that carries the train above the lower line. The mix of curves, straights and switches gives the layout a clear structure and leaves room for different track arrangements. As trains are placed on the rails and guided through the layout by hand, the set supports controlled movement, route awareness and focused play. Switches change the direction of travel at key points in the track, so the railway can be arranged with more than one path through the scene. The long track length spreads the action across a larger play area, and the raised bridge introduces a second level that makes each lap feel more varied. The 5-piece train keeps the railway theme present from the first setup onward without needing extra vehicles. On the floor, the set suits solo play as well as shared railway scenes with changing routes, station stops and bridge crossings, for 3Y+.

Train Figure-of-Eight Railway
100006202€29.99
The Figure-of 8 Railway combines a 27-piece track set with a 4-piece train and a classic crossing layout for hands-on railway play. Curved rails, straight sections and the central cross track build a figure-of-8 route with a total track length of 290 cm, creating a clear circuit for repeated laps and transport scenes. The FSC® 100%-certified beechwood rails connect into a layout that invites children to fit pieces together, line up the route and guide the train through the intersection. The crossing section adds a second play focus beyond the loop itself, since road accessories and signs turn the middle of the layout into a rail-and-road scene. This gives the set room for arranging routes, stopping vehicles and setting up simple traffic stories around the track. With the age marking 3Y+, the set suits floor play where the route is assembled, adjusted and used again in the same session. The combination of rails, train and crossing details supports both construction and pretend transport play, whether the full figure-of-8 is built at once or the pieces are rearranged into new track plans.

Train Circular
100006200€19.99
The Train Circular set combines a 135 cm wooden rail loop with a 3-piece train and scenery parts for compact railway play on the floor. Curved track sections form a closed circle that keeps the route clear and gives the train a defined path for repeated laps, stops and restarts. Recommended age: 3Y+. Inside the layout, the included tree and signal add recognizable landmarks that help shape simple transport scenes. The 20-piece set offers enough elements to assemble the railway, place the accessories and create a small setting around the train without overloading the play area. FSC® 100%-certified wood is used for the wooden components under license number FSC-C005308. The circular format also makes the set easy to place in a bedroom, play corner or living room floor space. During play, the train can be guided around the loop, paused at the signal and sent off again as the scene changes around it. Solo sessions and shared play both fit the compact track plan, with room to move the train, reposition the details and build short everyday rail stories.

Train Battery Locomotive
100006601€14.99
This battery-operated locomotive brings motion, light and simple rail control into a compact 10.5 cm train engine for wooden railway play. Start, light, forward and backward functions are built into the locomotive itself, so each run can be set in motion directly on the track while the front light adds a clear visual signal. The engine uses 4-wheel drive, which keeps the locomotive moving with powered traction rather than push-along handling alone. One electric locomotive is included, and the assortment contains 2 different red and yellow designs supplied at random. The single-piece format keeps the focus on the motorized engine as the active part of the rail setup, for 3Y+. With up to 60 minutes of driving time, the locomotive suits repeated station stops, reversing moves and short route changes across a wooden railway layout. The forward and backward controls make it easy to send the engine out, bring it back and keep rail scenes moving through longer play sessions.
Tracks
Train E-Locomotive
100006603€17.99
The Train E-Locomotive brings motorised movement into wooden railway play with 4 built-in functions: start, light, forward and backward. A top control triggers the action directly on the 11 cm locomotive, so the engine can set off, reverse and light up while running along the track. The red and black body uses classic steam-locomotive styling with printed number details, large decorative wheels and a front cowcatcher shape that gives the engine a clear railway character. This assortment contains 1 electric locomotive, with 2 different designs available: 1035 or 1036. The selected model is supplied at random, so the purchase includes 1 engine rather than both versions. Battery power is included, and the stated driving time of 60 minutes supports extended circuits, repeated departures and back-and-forth shunting on a wooden rail layout. The compact format suits station scenes, loop tracks and shorter branch lines where a self-moving engine adds motion without taking over the whole setup. Combined with wooden rails and railway accessories, the locomotive creates lively route play with visible movement, reversing action and illuminated running.

Train Level Crossing
100006500€9.99
The Train Level Crossing adds a working rail junction to wooden railway layouts with 2 barrier posts, a crossing base and a magnetic closing function. Lifting the red-and-white barrier arms by hand opens the road, and the magnets bring them back into the closed position automatically, giving each passing train a clear sequence of actions. Made from FSC® 100%-certified beechwood, the 4-piece set measures 6 x 25 x 15 cm and brings a defined road-and-rail intersection into compact track plans. The crossing structure supports roleplay around stopping, waiting and letting trains pass, while the manual barrier movement gives small hands a precise action to repeat. The yellow posts, printed road markings and striped arms create a recognisable railway crossing look without adding unnecessary complexity. Placed near a station, on a town route or between curved track sections, the crossing creates a natural pause in the journey and expands the layout with traffic control play. It works as a focused accessory for scenes where trains and road vehicles share the same route. Learn more about FSC® | www.fsc.org | FSC-C005308 Certified: FSC® 100%, Licence number: FSC-C005308

Train Remote Controlled
100006606€22.99
This remote controlled train combines classic railway play with 5 direct commands on a handheld transmitter: start, stop, sound, forward and backward. At 20.5 cm, the train brings a streamlined high-speed rail look to the track while each button press triggers a clear action, making the control sequence easy to follow during play. The set includes 2 parts and comes with batteries included, so the electronic train and controller are ready for use with the stated functions. Forward and backward driving create more than simple rolling movement, since the train can be sent out, stopped at a station area, then reversed for the return trip. The sound function adds another response to the control pattern, linking hand movement on the transmitter with action on the rails. With a 60 minute driving time, the train supports longer sessions across connected track layouts. Railway scenes can shift between departures, arrivals and turn-back runs as the train moves through curves and straight sections under remote control. The 3Y+ age marking suits early train play built around pressing buttons, watching the result and repeating the sequence across the track.

Train Track Set
100006403€16.99
This Train Track Set adds 10 rail pieces for building wider wooden railway layouts with a clear mix of route shapes. The set includes 4 long straight tracks, 2 straight tracks and 4 curved tracks, so lines can be extended, linked and guided through bends with matching wooden sections. Each rail piece is made from beechwood and shaped with classic end connectors that slot the sections together into a continuous route. The recessed wheel grooves keep wooden trains aligned as they roll across the track, while the combination of long straights, shorter straights and curves supports more varied layout planning than a single track shape alone. With 10 parts in the set and an age marking of 3Y+, the rails suit repeated building, rebuilding and route changes within an existing wooden train world. On the floor, on a play table or as an addition to a larger railway scene, the different rail forms help create loops, connecting stretches and gentle direction changes. Rearranging the sections turns every setup into a fresh track plan with new paths for engines and wagons. Learn more about FSC® | www.fsc.org | FSC-C005308

Train Tunnel Crossing
100006501€16.99
This Train tunnel crossing adds two route levels to a wooden railway layout with a tunnel passage below and a raised track section above. The set includes 3 track pieces with a total track length of 55 cm, creating a compact expansion that changes the flow of a train line without taking much space. The beechwood track sections form the climbing and descending approach to the crossover, while the central tunnel element creates a clear through route for trains running underneath. That combination supports more varied layout planning than a flat connection alone, because lines can pass over the top and continue through the middle in the same area. Rounded wooden connections fit naturally into hands-on railway building and make the piece easy to place within an existing track arrangement. In everyday play, the raised crossing creates a visible high point for locomotives and carriages, while the tunnel opening adds a second route that changes how trains move through the scene. It works well as a central feature in compact layouts or as a linking section between longer stretches of track.

Train Big Track Set
100006405€49.99
The Train Big Track Set adds 44 wooden rail pieces for larger layouts with more turns, junctions and connecting sections. Straight tracks, curved rails, switches and a crossing piece open up new ways to extend an existing wooden railway and reshape the route for each session. The assortment includes different rail sizes that help adjust the layout with more precision, whether the plan calls for a long straight run, a compact curve or a branching section. Switch points guide trains onto alternate lines, while the crossing creates intersecting routes that change how the network is arranged. Buffer stops and short connector pieces add further options when closing lines or adapting the build. The set is compatible with other railway systems, making it easy to combine with existing wooden track collections. On the floor, on a play table or as part of a larger railway scene, the rail mix supports fresh track plans again and again. Children aged 3Y+ can build loops, sidings and crossings, then rearrange the pieces to create a different route with the same set.

Eichhorn wooden trains for little train drivers
Real explorer kids love having a railroad running through the entire apartment. Whether it's just a small set with wooden track or with extended accessories - when playing with wooden trains, children live out their imagination in a particularly exciting way. Read the following article to find out how a wooden railroad promotes children's development and what is important when buying wooden railroad toys in general.
Playfully promote toddler development with wooden trains
Wooden trains provide children with sustainable support in their development. They promote not only creativity, but also motor skills, coordination and concentration. Quite incidentally, of course, the imaginative play that young children especially love. Wooden trains are toys that parents, grandparents and uncles and aunts particularly like to give as gifts.
Wooden trains promote motor development. The little fingers have to insert individual train tracks of the children's wooden train exactly into each other, exchange rail parts for others and operate the trains and other accessories. So it takes some skill and perseverance to get the train rolling.
A wooden train for toddlers also trains the ability to concentrate. Frustration tolerance is also strengthened if a train derails or components do not fit together. In addition, visual perception benefits from playing with the wooden train for children.
For children under three, the simple sets without complicated structures are just right, while the older kids from three already include bridges, stations and other things.
Tip: Start with a simple railroad set and expand it step by step with wooden train extensions. This way, excitement builds up again and again with increasing age and the child is never bored while playing. Since the train sets can be combined with accessories in many different ways, they can be used to create very extensive train constructions that will be fun to play with for a long time.
From what age are wooden toy trains suitable?
Wooden trains are great educational toys in every way. They are ideal for 3- to 5-year-old children, depending on their developmental stage. Even first grade children still enjoy playing creatively with the extensive wooden train sets.
A distinction must be made between sets with simple wooden trains and wooden trains where the trains run on real wooden tracks. Simpler models are suitable for beginners. Later on, a little more accessories can be added. Remote-controlled versions are ideal for older children who are looking for new challenges.
Eichhorn has these toy trains in its range:
- simple Eichhorn train

What should parents look for when buying a toy train made of wood?
If the purchase of a wooden train is pending, various criteria are important for the selection. In addition to the age recommendation, the material quality, sustainability and safety features are important.
Age recommendation
The age recommended by the manufacturer is the most important information. This tells you which developmental stage the wooden train set is suitable for. Many sets are recommended for kids from three years because they contain small parts that can be swallowed. The older the child is, the more individual parts are included.
Product quality
Young children often explore toys with all their senses and even put them in their mouths. In general, they still handle the individual parts very roughly. The wooden train should therefore be of a correspondingly high quality. The use of robust, chemically untreated hardwood, which promises durability even under heavy use, speaks for good product quality.
Security
Safety first. The wood should have a smooth surface without sharp edges. In addition, only water-based paints that are harmless to health are allowed for children.
Tip: The smell speaks for the use of safe paints. A wooden train should never smell unpleasant or even chemical when unpacked.
Sustainability
The sustainability factor is important to many parents when buying toys. The wood should come from sustainable forestry and be treated with ecologically safe paints.
Eichhorn products stand for sustainability. The FSC certification of the wooden toys (FSC = responsible forest management) shows that the materials used come from sustainable wood cultivation.
Extension options
If a wooden train is an expandable set, you can add more parts at any time. Additional wooden train accessories bring new fun, so that children can enjoy it again and again.
For example, the following extensions are possible:
- Additional trains (e.g. wagons, locomotives)
- Additional parts for a larger rail network (e.g. rails in different shapes, crossings or bridges)
- Additional buildings (e.g. station, engine shed, houses)
- Traffic signs and traffic lights
- Accessories for the expansion of the surrounding landscape (eg, trees, mountains)
The many possibilities for expansion mean that there are virtually no limits to the fun of playing with Eichhorn wooden trains. Many things can be combined with each other in very different ways to create imaginative landscapes and track layouts.
Our Eichhorn range of wooden trains & accessories
The wooden train set assortment from Eichhorn is very diverse. Many sets can be expanded as desired thanks to extensive accessories for a varied rail network.
How about an additional bridge, tunnel and various switches, for example? Or additional functions with light and sound that make playing with Eichhorn wooden trains even more realistic for children?
Wooden train sets
A wooden train set is ideal for giving as a gift. Here, tracks and trains, as well as other accessories, are already included so that the child can get started right after unpacking. There are numerous wooden train sets from Eichhorn, which differ in the number of parts and the age recommendation.
Wooden tracks
Your wooden trains can always be supplemented with train tracks from Eichhorn. With engine stops, tunnels and other track parts, your route will look even more varied.
Conclusion: Eichhorn wooden trains - for exciting train adventures
Eichhorn wooden trains are not only fun, they also promote children's development and are therefore rightly regarded as valuable toys that appeal to different age groups. From smaller wooden trains to wooden trains with tracks and remote-controlled models, Eichhorn has everything to encourage your child's creativity, fine motor skills and dexterity.
It is important that a wooden toy train is suitable for the age of the child, is of high quality and is designed to be safe and sustainable.
