We just got a train table off craigslist (score!) but now are looking for trains and tracks. I hear Brio is the best?

@knittylady: I don't think it's better quality wise than the wooden Thomas stuff? I only throw that out there because Thomas can be easier to find used from local parents. Understand if you want to avoid Thomas though!
I have a couple brio things NIB (and a TON of gently used Thomas) and tracks, I mean everything.

@Mrs. Yoyo: Do you know if they're compatible? I'm definitely stalking craigslist and don't mind mixing!
And are you selling that stuff? If so what would you be asking for it?

@knittylady: I believe they are compatible.
I have these Brio things new in box. I could probably do about half of retail but then there's shipping, too, so I understand if you want to look locally.

I have everything Thomas, seriously ... is there anything particular you're searching for. Tracks and trains may not be super cost-prohibitive to ship.

@Mrs. Yoyo: Just curious why someone would want to avoid Thomas? Thank you.

@SandraDee: oh, I know some people are sensitive to characters/brands and like to avoid them if possible. And Thomas is really annoying

@Mrs. Yoyo: I would love to buy some Thomas tracks! Maybe none of the trains as we got a good amount from craigslist yesterday.... And yeah, brio stuff is expensive! Yikes!

@knittylady: I could do a grab bag of tracks but looking on Amazon they aren't terribly expensive, especially with prime shipping? Take a look and if you think it would be cost effective anyway, let me know.
