Description
Take the long way home through this exciting tunnel. It has four different sounds that activate when the train passes through and onto new adventures. The adventure tunnel is compatible with all BRIO railway systems. Try not fall off the bridge when you go to push the sound button. Includes 1x Adventure Tunnel. The item measures 23.3 x 17.8 x 12.2cm. Suitable for ages 3 Years and up. Manufactured to BRIO’s high standards and from FSC Certified wood. 2x AA Batteries required
The BRIO Adventure Tunnel is a fantastic accessory that will make the wooden train sets even more fun.
Shaped and coloured like an Alpine tunnel, the sturdy plastic tunnel has a realistic stone-effect surface and flowers. Open at both ends under brick-effect arches, with BRIO track passing through it, the tunnel interlocks easily with other BRIO sets. But the real appeal of the tunnel only becomes apparent once the 2 x AA batteries required (not included) have been fitted in the safely concealed cavity underneath. (A screwdriver will be required to open and close this).
Just push the button, or pass a BRIO train equipped with the necessary magnet through the tunnel, and one of four adventure sounds will bring the tunnel magically to life. A very loud “toot toot” may follow or the echoing sound of a train rushing through a tunnel, or even sounds of people at work inside. Beware, however, though the noises turn themselves off (the longest lasts for around 7-10 seconds) they are very loud. Children will love this feature for realistic play, but for less enthusiastic parents there is an “off” switch. The tunnel also has a flip-up bridge across its top for use with the BRIO people (sold separately).
All in all, this adventure tunnel is a novel, lively toy that children really love. It certainly adds another dimension to the traditional train set format and will soon become a favourite addition to your little station master’s kit. –Lucie Naylor
