The Rambling Brick
“It is a great functional model in its own right, as well as proving inspiration for many ways to build up structures around it, or design your own track. In short, I enjoyed putting it together, and enjoyed the sense of achievement. After several days, it is still very easy... More to just send a train for a run when I am walking past…”

The Brothers Brick
“For anyone who is in love with the whole series of Creator Expert Amusement Park sets, this is definitely a perfect addition to the collection. I personally really love this color scheme. After seeing grey track in a couple other sets recently released, I was worried that... More the whole thing would be grey. So it was a wonderful surprise to see such a vibrant outcome!”
