I don’t know how well-known (or not) Brio toys are outside of Sweden, but I consider their wooden toy trains to be a Swedish design classic, along with this pull-along dachshund they’ve been making since 1953. Although most of their train sets these days are a bit more elaborate than they once were (much like Lego), I did recently spot this this freight express set that looks so lovely in all it’s minimalistic glory. I may be many years past its recommended age, but I’m going to have to get that for my bookshelf.

They’re HUGE in Canada. My now 19 year old son had a large collection growing up; still has them in a box.
