Which one should you buy?

The BRIO World 33719 Farm Railway is the set to buy first: a 20 piece farm layout with a magnetic crane barn, the deepest review base in this guide and enough curved track to close a loop straight out of the box. Buy the Hape Busy City instead if you have the floor space for ramps and a whole town, or the BRIO 33042 Classic Little Forest if you want the cheapest way into the same standard gauge track system.

For full context on why we ranked these the way we did, what alternatives we considered (and rejected), and the broader buying-guide framework, read the full Best Wooden Train Sets in Australia (2026).
