 click to enlarge | *Parenting Magazine’s “Best DVD” (July, 2006). Click here to see more reviews. STWT BLE-1 - “The Busy Little Engine™” DVD "It's a very busy day in Dinkytown...." A little wooden train is pretending to be a real train, but he doesn't know much about what real trains do - he's only ever seen them at crossing gates. With some help from the Narrator and lots of imagination, the Busy Little Engine and his friend, Pig, have a lot of fun learning about what trains do all day! Running Time: Approximately 34 minutes, plus extras Recommended Ages: 2-6 years old See fun movie clips, screenshots, hear song clips and more on Busy Little Engine’s own website! (The shopping carts on this site and that one are shared, so you may pick items from either site and pay just one shipping charge) | $15.95 In stock, usually ships the next business day |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 50946 - Big Train Roundhouse Open the doors and wake up the locomotives for a new, busy day of creative play with trains! The Big Train Roundhouse has five spaces to park locomotives (or anything else that may need to rest) measuring up to about 4.5” in length inside. The five-way connecting track lets little engineers easily get the locomotives from the main line to any space in the roundhouse and then back out again. The roundhouse makes a great “home base” for trains to venture out from - or to hurry back to if there’s a big thunderstorm! Knock, knock, can I come in? Includes 1 roundhouse with working doors and 1 five-way connecting track. Please note that this roundhouse is not designed to fit BRIO®, Thomas & Friends™, or Maxim® brand turntables. We mention this because BRIO® and Thomas™ each make large turntables designed to plug right in to their respective roundhouses. Using the included five-way connecting track is the only way to connect all five stalls of the Maxim® roundhouse to the rest of your layout at the same time. You can, of course, connect almost any piece of track directly to the roundhouse, but the included five-way track lets engineers pick any stall they like any time! | $33.95 In stock, usually ships the next business day |
 click to enlarge (trains not included) | Maxim 50961 - Basic Train Roundhouse Smaller railroads need smaller roundhouses! The Basic Train Roundhouse has three spaces to park locomotives (or anything else that may need to rest) measuring up to about 4.5” in length inside. Being smaller than the Big Train Roundhouse, this roundhouse can fit in places where space is more limited. It's also a bit more cozy! The three-way connecting track lets little engineers easily get the locomotives from the main line to any space in the roundhouse and then back out again. The roundhouse makes a great “home base” for trains to venture out from - or to hurry back to if there’s a big thunderstorm! Knock, knock, can I come in? Includes 1 roundhouse and 1 three-way connecting track. | $19.95 Sorry, temporarily out of stock. |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 50443 - Lakeville Train Station The little Lakeville train station is busy sending passengers on big adventures. Around back on the track-side of the station, little stationmasters can turn the signboard to let the passengers know where the next train is headed - Tokyo?, London?, New York?, Paris? There's a bench inside so passengers can sit and rest while they wait. There's also a nice skylight to let the sun shine in. “Lakeville Local now departing track one, making all local stops. All aboard!” Includes 1 train station. | $15.95 In stock, usually ships the next business day |
 click to enlarge (locomotive not included) | Maxim 50426 - Record and Play Train Station This little train station is busy sending passengers on big adventures. Play back your own recorded messages over the station’s public address system! Turn the signboard to let the passengers know where the next train is headed - New York?, Boston?, L.A.?, Chicago? The stop-and-start switch track can be used with compatible battery powered engines (engines by BRIO® and others with a little push-button on/off switch on the bottom) as well as any other engine or train car. If you don’t have a compatible engine, it’s still fun to flip the lever back and forth! Recorded messages can be 4-5 seconds long and there is a handy on/off switch under the roof of the station if Mom and Dad’s ears need a rest. “Lakeville Local now arriving on track one. Lakeville Local now arriving!” Includes 1 eleven-piece Record and Play train station and 1 stop and start switch track. Requires 3 AA batteries (not included). The red locomotive in the picture is not included! | $39.95 (requires 3 AA batteries) In stock, usually ships the next business day - or - $40.95 with pack of 4 AA batteries In stock, usually ships the next business day |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 50418 - Commuter Train Station The busy city commuter train station has people and trains and cars coming and going all day long. Turn the signboard to let the passengers know where the next train is headed - Tokyo?, Paris?, New York?, London? The train tracks running through the station can be arranged in any way you wish - one track, two tracks (as shown), or add a buffer stop or two to make this station the end of the line! “Busy City Express now departing on track two. All aboard!” Includes 1 train station, 2 6" straight tracks, 1 blue light rail vehicle, 1 car, 1 ascending roadway piece, and 1 person figure. | $32.95 In stock, usually ships the next business day |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 50230 - Pier Set with Cargo Ship and Containers Unload freight from the cargo ship with the working crane. Load the boxes onto the container truck and deliver them on time! The Pier Set works great by itself or can be combined directly with your railroad. With one or more tracks running to the dock, the crane can unload cargo from trains onto the ship or vice versa. How can we send the freight where it needs to go? With the container truck, a train, the crane and the ship, young engineers can figure out endless new ways to tackle the problem! Includes 1 crane, 1 cargo ship, 2 magnetic load containers, 1 container truck, 1 pier. | $15.95 In stock, usually ships the next business day |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 50413 - Mountain Accessory Set Whether your railroad goes through the rough terrain of two medium-sized mountains or scales the heights of one great big mountain, the Mountain Accessory Set is a lot of fun! This is one of Pa Squirrel’s favorites! For flexibility, the mountain pieces can be stacked together as one or used separately. The track pieces and red bridge support get your rail lines up, over and through the mountain. What exciting things will your passengers find as their train pops out the other side of the tunnel? Includes 1 mountain top, 1 two-piece mountain bottom (two pieces makes it easier to store), 2 ascending tracks, 1 long straight track, 1 curved track, and 1 bridge support. | $21.95 Sorry, temporarily out of stock. |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 50414 - Gas Station In some small towns, the gas station is the center of activity. The people in your town can drive in and out of this station to fill their gas tanks or pick up a snack. In some towns, this station sells train tickets to the passengers who board the train at the stop around back. The two ramps and the car-shaped “Gas Station” sign on top attach neatly with built-in magnets. The two trees and the standing gas station sign can sit in little sockets around the station (as in the picture) or stand anywhere your town planner wishes. We have the utmost respect for anyone speaking or writing in a foreign language as the artists at Maxim in China sometimes need to do, but we have to laugh when we see the word, “Coffice” under a picture of a steaming cup of coffee on the side of the station. It’s actually a very useful word - it combines “coffee” and “office” all in one word! Includes 1 gas station building, 2 ramp pieces, 2 trees, 1 gas station sign and 1 taxicab. The graphics on the station differ slightly from this picture. | $19.95 In stock, usually ships the next business day |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 50208 - Water Tower Steam locomotives need to carry a lot of water to make the steam to make them go! When your locomotives need more water, or when your circus animals are thirsty, stop at the water tower and lower the spout for a fill-up! Includes 1 water tower. | $11.95 In stock, usually ships the next business day |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 50206 - Signal Tower Busy railroads need signal towers to help keep trains from bumping into each other. Move the switch on the side of the tower to change the signal from "Stop" to "Go". For Stop, the signalman crosses his arms, the red light shows, and the word "Stop" shows under the signal tower (above the track). For Go, the signalman raises his hand to wave, the green light shows, and the word "Go" shows under the signal tower. Engineers need to pay attention to the signals so they can keep their passengers and cargo safe from collisions! Includes 1 signal tower. | $17.95 In stock, usually ships the next business day |
 click to enlarge | Eichhorn 1090 - Train Station Set Here comes the train! This set has three buildings that can be used as one busy big-city station or three smaller stations for station-hopping fun! Note that the track connector on the main building goes right to the front door - trains pull in to the station and then back out. Includes 3 train station buildings and 3 play figures. | $22.95 Sorry, out of stock. |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 50937 - Small Engine Shed The Small Engine Shed is a cozy place to park your locomotives for the night. It has enough space for two locomotives or any kind of train car. There are walls on three sides. The back wall is plain and the two side walls have painted window details. It also makes a great hiding place for playful locomotives! Includes 1 small engine shed and 1 straight switch track. | $9.95 Sorry, temporarily out of stock. |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 52157 - 50 piece Tumble Tree Town This is the cutest and coolest wooden town we’ve ever seen! City planners can stack the decorated blocks to build a few skyscrapers, a bunch of medium-sized buildings, or just have loads of little one-story buildings. Each car and truck has a place to go in this busy town. After rescuing a cat from a tree, the fire engine can put down its ladder and go back to the fire station. The mail truck can deliver mail to all the buildings and then carry out-of-town mail to the train station for pickup by the next cargo train. If the people get tired of walking, the taxi can give them a ride. Besides being a great addition to any train collection, it’s perfect for those times when you need to pack a few toys to take along on vacation or a visit to Grandma’s. With trucks, cars, people, trees, and signs, you don’t need to bring along a whole train set to have hours of fun! Includes 29 building blocks with painted details, 4 trucks, 3 cars, 4 people, 4 trees and 6 traffic signs. | $19.95 Sorry, temporarily out of stock. |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 50809 - Fuel Tanker and Pump What do you do when the cars and trucks and trains in your town run out gas? Do trains get their fuel from fuel pumps like cars, or straight from the fuel tanker? It’s amazing how often trains and cars need to be filled up when a kid has a fuel tanker and pump. Our research into the subject has found that the extent to which fuel mileage plummets is inversely proportional to how much fun it is to fill up the tank! Includes 1 two-piece fuel tanker with hose and 1 fuel pump with hose. | $5.95 Sorry, out of stock. |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 36896T - Taxicab “Hey taxi!” Hail a taxi for a ride to the train station. The wheels are the same as Maxim train wheels so this taxi can happily pick up fares either on or off the track. Includes 1 taxicab. | $1.95 Sorry, out of stock. |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 36896P - Police Car Keep those rascally jaywalking squirrels honest by putting more police on the streets! The wheels are the same as Maxim train wheels so this police cruiser can nab robbers either on or off the track. Includes 1 police car. | $1.95 Sorry, out of stock. |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 50405 - Green Shade Trees - pack of 4 Trees aren’t just pretty decorations for your train set. These trees make great orchards, wild forests, or even things for trains to hide behind. Don’t forget that farmers need trains to take the fresh apples from their orchards to market. Lumberjacks need trains to take logs from the trees to the sawmill. And, of course, “A tree is nice for a house to be near. The tree shades the house and keeps it cool.”* Includes 4 shade trees. *From the delightful book (even though it’s not about trains!), A Tree is Nice, by Janice May Udry | $4.50 In stock, usually ships the next business day |
 click to enlarge | Maxim 50406 - Evergreen Trees - pack of 4 Trees aren’t just pretty decorations for your train set. These trees are just right for imaginary mountain ranges or thick forests. Take a trip deep into the forest to bring back Christmas trees or logs for building houses! “Trees make the woods. They make everything beautiful.”* Includes 4 evergreen trees (two each of two different types). *From the delightful book (even though it’s not about trains!), A Tree is Nice, by Janice May Udry | $4.50 In stock, usually ships the next business day |
