Orbrium® Toys 8 Pcs Wooden Train Track Male-Male Female-Female Adapter Pack Fits Thomas Brio Chuggington Set

I ordered these because as most of us who own Brio, the tracks you design don’t always connect the way you designed it. Sometimes you have two make ends and can’t connect. These pieces solve the issue and work well with Brio track. Now connections are easy and my grandson has hours of fun. They lock together well its other brands and the variety in this package satisfies any novice track builder. Even my 3 year old grandson can connect them easily. If you put theses next to other tracks you would not be able to tell the difference. They are smooth and well designed with your child’s fun in mind.

These pieces have been a great addition to our grandkids train track. This will allow us to do so many variations. Fit and finish is very good there was no issues shipping was quick.

Love these. Great quality. Makes building a track so much easier having versatile pieces like these

Over the years we've apparently lost some of our Brio track pieces, so that some parts, like one of the ferry landings, could not be connected. These adapters do the job perfectly. They are not a Brio product, but they match exactly. There are also male-male and female-female pieces in some Brio accessory sets, but these are all we needed, and were much cheaper. I was puzzled what the two orange plastic pieces were for until I found on the box that they are for the Thomas track system. We do not have that, so I can't judge how well they fit.

Helpful when needed

We bought these along with the bulk 100 piece wooden track set. These adapters are pretty necessary and the name brands may give you one or two in their packs, but then you have to buy a whole other pack of track to get more or pay a bunch of money for just a couple. This was a great buy. Great addition to train set. My son has been a HUGE fan of Thomas the Tank Engine for years. He has built up a large collection of track. However, he often needs to join unmatched pieces of track i.e. male-to-male or female-to-female. That's where these pieces come in - and they do the job perfectly. The track is nicely finished (no splinters in little hands) and perfect for what it does. Would recommend to buy it again. The set gives me all the connectors. For some reason the one solid ends are used more than the ones with holes. These track pieces have made it possible to do lots of different layouts, especially for little guys who want to play on their own but would otherwise have trouble getting the track all going in the same direction to hook together.

THIS IS A MUST HAVE! The more elaborate your track lay-out, the more likely it is that you are going to find yourself faced with the necessity of connecting either two male ends together or two female ends together - a problem which not even SCOTUS can resolve, at least when we're talking about toy train tracks... Unless you have access to these "double ended" pieces, the end result is tears and frustration (your choice whether the kid is crying and you are frustrated or vice-versa). Save yourself the grief and buy a couple of these sets to supplement your supply of track (and they are so artfully designed that you can always use them simply to extend your trackway, even if you don't need to overcome the mismatched end issue). These pieces are made to the same high quality standard as the Obrium trackway (also reviewed), which is to say that the pieces are well formed and well fitted, they are sanded smooth, and are nicely and attractively coated with some clear finish, making it likely that they will outlast your child's interest in toy train tracks (if not your own interest in them - c'mon, admit it, you play with this stuff too). The multiple piece track sets which Obrium sells do NOT contain any of these specialty connectors, so just make a habit of adding at least one of these sets to any other track purchases. And, just like Obrium's regular track pieces, these are fully compatible with the "Thomas" and "Chuggington" (and similar) systems.

Quality product! Always fits well with any track pieces from other brands.
