LEGO Duplo Legoville Train Bridge (3774)

Customer Reviews

Over priced
Agree with the 1st. reviewer. We just got back from Legoland California. Purchased the same track set with <$20 including tax. This seller's price is way over priced.

Great toy, beware of price gouging
The bridge is great. It makes a great addition to any duplo train track set, of which the Deluxe or Starter kits will provide lots of fun. Beware of price gouging. This item normal retails for $19.99, but resellers are asking for much higher prices since it is getting harder to find. It's definitely not worth $79.99. At a lower price, I would buy 2, as well as plenty of spare tracks, to make a very fun and interesting train setups.

Lego Duplo Trains 3774: Bridge

Customer Reviews

A big bridge for big boys (3 yo+) with lots of LEGO Duplo trains
OK, others provided reviews of the fun. I want to provide additional useful information in my review.

First, I selected the LEGO Duplo trains for our son because they are very high quality and not as expensive as other wooden push trains. And of course, they work with everything else that is LEGO, making the value so much greater. He can mix and match pieces from all his other LEGO Duplo stuff.

The bridge looks impressive and it is big for a toddler toy. Be sure you have enough track and floor space to make this work well for you. If you only buy this bridge and a Duplo train set, you may not have enough track.

Consider buying several boxes of Duplo 2734 straight track and 2735 curved track to add to what you have with a Duplo 5609 Deluxe train set.

You can also use any of the push trains (esp. Thomas and Friends series while you can find them) with this bridge.

The bridge is designed with cogs in the 'rails' (really wheel gutters) so that the motorized Duplo engine can climb the bridge approach without slipping.

The educational benefit for this bridge is primarily two things I've observed:
learning to assemble a complex structure by following the illustrations on the box, and learning about clearances for trains going under the bridge or over the bridge through the plastic girder truss structure.

The illustration on the cover shows every individual piece (separate and assembled in three configurations) so that you can encourage your young child to carefully check the picture to figure out how to assemble it. It's not obvious, but it's not any harder than any other LEGO Duplo item.

If you have enough track to allow the train to pass under the bride as well as over it, then your child can learn about oversized loads on the freight cars and what will fit and what won't. This is play, but it is educational play in my view, that makes this kind of toy worth the money. If you can't acquire it at retail prices then you may need to pay a premium. These are hard to find. I got mine right here at Amazon. (I can't offer advice on the value per dollar, just on the toy itself in the context of LEGO Duplo trains.)

Advice: don't lose the box -- the illustration is useful for assembly.
Keep the pieces for this bridge segregated from the rest of the train set when put away. I use a ziplock bag to put the small blocks in, and the large pieces go in the box. If all the pieces get mingled with every other set, then it won't be likely that the bridge will assemble as illustrated. Your child can always substitute different colors and shapes to get the required lift, but the blocks that come are perfect and unique for this purpose.

Excellent addition to duplo train sets
The bridge is an excellent addition to our duplo train set. Both our children - nearly two and three - squeal with delight when the train comes over the bridge. I think the product is not available in the US at the moment - it is available overseas - but I hope that Lego in the US will bring it in again. It is alot of fun. Hint - cut out the picture of the train from the box so you can remember how to put it together (there are no instructions in the box).

Fun toy
I purchased this along with the push train set and it has given my son endless hours of play. It is easy to construct and works very well with the train set.

Hurray for Lego Duplo Trains!
There is nothing more exciting than putting the Lego Duplo Thomas series together with my 2.5 year old. The bridge is a bit complicated to figure out at the beginning but it helps to keep the box for a few days to look at the picture. Now we can put it together in no time. It not only lets him practice hand-eye coordination but teaches him how three dimensional objects fit together. Great toy, especially when you have other parts of the Thomas series to add on to it.

Awesome! Amazing!
This was easier to find than Thomas duplo train sets and was much better value too. There are well over 100 pieces, lots of track, trains, blocks and special pieces to build towns and play out stories with. It's fully compatible with Duplo Thomas trains.

This is part of the Educational line of Duplo sets - Always well developed sets with lognevity and educational play in mind.
