For the advanced builder Nov 26, 2007
Our boys love the Quadrilla Marble stuff. We have both the Quadrilla Marble Railway, Basic Set and the Quadrilla Marble Railway, Twist and Rail set. After more than a year of owning them we still pull out regularly to play with.
We were looking to expand our sets for bigger and better things so added this set, but were a little disappointed in what it added to our system. Included are several of the long runs, and a handful of half length ones, as well several new block shapes that add flexibility. It also includes both the green and red teeter-totters which are widely loved.
However this kit also includes about 10 pieces that are just boards with hole groups in them (2x2, 1x2, 1x3), not really runs. These pieces must be totally key for the super advanced run builder, but we are simply not there yet. We've built a few of the runs from the manual and find that the ones that use these special boards tend to be tricky, and require a lot of careful balancing and assembly to use. While the professional Mechanical Engineers in the house can build them, they are way, way beyond the skill of our boys. Further we are years away from dreaming up structures that could use these. In retrospect a second twist and rail set would probably have been more gratifying for us.
So in short while we love the Quadrilla marble stuff, unless you are ready for the most advanced runs, expand with a different set than this one, or perhaps buy the individual pieces that can be bought separately. However if you are already doing some pretty complicated castles, these may well be the key pieces you've been needing all along!
