Product Information
Full details
The Brio Gemstone Cargo Train (36133) is designed for curious minds aged 3 and up, offering a magical play experience with its colour-changing gemstone loads. Its key benefit lies in fostering imaginative play and introducing cause-and-effect through temperature interaction. A minor consideration is that the colour-changing effect is dependent on external temperature variations. This playset includes a cargo engine, wagon, driver figure, and two unique gemstone loads, all crafted from high-quality plastics and FSC-certified wood, compatible with the broader BRIO World system.

Troubleshooting
Gemstone not changing color
Ensure the gemstone is exposed to a significant temperature difference. Try warming it in your hands or cooling it on a surface for a few minutes. The change is subtle and requires a noticeable temperature shift.
Train car is difficult to connect
Check the magnetic connectors on both the engine and the wagon for any debris or misalignment. Ensure they are clean and properly aligned before attempting to connect.
Driver figure doesn't fit
The driver figure is designed to fit snugly. Gently press the figure into the cab. Ensure no obstructions are inside the cab area.
