In Reply to: Train table question (a bit off topic) posted by Elizabeth on September 28, 2003 at 23:06:11:
Hello Elizabeth-- long time no chat :0) I've tried to only look at this site on limited occasions hoping that the moderator would change this place. Oh well.... I have a Brio set for my kids. Personally, I don't want a train table. It is much easier to play with and store a set that isn't on a table. The kids (and myself) get more creative with the set-up of the trains if it is on the floor. Plus, having a table means having to store it somewhere (I don't have the room). If you are insisting on a table, I have looked at the tables at Toys r Us, Sams, and the Thomas Tank tables. They do not look difficult to set up. A friend of mine hand made a table for his son. And I have seen a lot of real and homemade tables on ebay. The best deal I've seen is at Sam's club- they have a train set (generic) and table for around $100 (I can't remember if that was on clearance after Christmas or before). If you are looking at just updating your set-- amazon.com has a lot of fun additions for free shipping http://www.fishingfordeals.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=catch&Number=663343&Forum=catch&Words=brio&Match=Entire%20Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main=663343&Search=true#Post663343 www.fishingfordeals.com (catch of the day) highlights a lot of these train set deals frequently. Also, buy Yumsters Yogurt and save the UPCs for cheap Thomas/Brio sets (see the ads on the yogurt for their current offer). Also, after Christmas, Target will clearance their generic train stuff. BTW, how is your family relationship going? Did the Catholic retreat go well? :0) Dana
