This unique Brio train tunnel is patterned after tunnels found in mountainous areas to shelter trains from snow or rock avalanches or deep drifts. As an additional advantage when applied to a wooden railway setting, the young operator can see his or her train as it is pushed on through the tunnel due to its open side. Very hard-to-find piece from the 1997 catalog. Picture of actual item. MADE IN SWEDEN..... it is getting harder to find NEW BRIO made there. This genuine BRIO Wooden Railway piece is a brand new, high-quality item made in Sweden. It is a rare, out-of-production treasure that is hand-built from solid beechwood, using environmentally-friendly paints. A toy of lasting quality that will inspire the imaginations of generations of young (3+) railroaders or make-believers. BRIO wooden railway items are the true original, but are also compatible with Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends track and pieces too. So, the item featured here can be used to add on to any existing wooden railway. This is a rare chance to buy classic Swedish-made BRIO from untouched store inventory. Until recently, BRIO wooden toys were made with pride in Sweden since 1884. The company used all non-toxic materials, including flawless beechwood and birch hardwoods that are durable enough for decades of play and free of insecticides and toxic chemicals; paints that are likewise non-toxic, with up to 60 coats applied to each painted piece to resist chipping while maintaining their bright colors. A timeless choice for the holidays -- can't be found in stores! |
