Another Winner for GeoTrax
I knew my son would love this as soon as I saw it as he love bridges and things he can make move.
The set comes with a drawbridge, a sailboat and some cargo. The bridge has typical GeoTrax detail with crabs, shells and other things along the edges and the water under the bridge contains a sea turtle.
Bridge action is controlled with an easy-to-grasp handle that small hands can wrap right around. As the bridge is raised, a bell rings and the gates drop. When the bridge is lowered, the gates automatically go back up. The bell can also be rung by pushing down on the chimney of the gate house.
All in all this is a fun addition to a GeoTrax setup, it is easy to set up and use, and it is very durable, not to mention very reasonably priced.
Bayshore Drawbridge
The Bayshore Drawbridge is another great addition to your kids GeoTrax collection. It can be used in place of three adjacent straight pieces of track. It is made from high impact plastic and is very durable.
No batteries are needed for this kit. A lever actuates the raising and lowering of the bridge. Additionally, as the bridge is raised, a little bell rings and two little crossing gates are lowered to block any oncoming trains.
The only difficulty was assembling the lever to the drawbridge. You have to line up the lever with the keying mechanism and push HARD for the lever to snap on correctly.
If you're buying the drawbridge, then by this point, you have probably purchased many of the other additional kits. It gets to be quite a challenge to include everything into a good layout.
For some great track layout ideas, search on eBay for "Geotrax Track Layout".
All things considered...this is a great toy that will keep your kids (and you) occupied for many, many hours. My kids love it!
Outsanding New Series !!!
I've bought all available Geo Trax toys and built a very fun rail road and track system, of course my child spends a lot of hours playing with them.
This New Series, increases the level with air & sea vehicles, planes and boats are added to previously trains, trucks and cars, to be able to expand in an outsanding transportation set.
