Full details
The BRIO Ghost Train is designed for young children aged 3 and up, offering a spooky yet fun addition to their railway play. Its key benefit is the glow-in-the-dark feature and magnetic wooden treasure chest, sparking imaginative play. A minor consideration is that it is a single train unit and requires other BRIO World track and trains for expanded play. This set includes a ghost train with a magnetic treasure chest, made from durable wood and plastic, and features details that shine in the dark.

Does the train require batteries?
No, the BRIO Ghost Train does not require batteries. It operates purely through manual play.
How do I make the glow-in-the-dark feature work?
To activate the glow-in-the-dark feature, expose the train to a light source (like a lamp or sunlight) for several minutes. The stored light will then be emitted in darkness.
Can I connect this train to other brands of wooden train tracks?

How do I clean the train?
Wipe the train with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging it in water.
What materials is the train made from?
The train is made from European beech wood, high-quality plastic, and fine metal details.
Troubleshooting
Train not moving smoothly on tracks
Ensure the tracks are clean and properly connected. Check if the train's wheels are obstructed by any debris or damage. Make sure the train is on a flat, stable surface.
Magnetic coupling not holding securely
Check that the magnetic surfaces on the train and the accessory (treasure chest) are clean and free from obstructions. Ensure no strong external magnetic fields are interfering. If the magnet appears damaged, contact customer support.
Glow-in-the-dark feature is not visible
The glow-in-the-dark feature requires 'charging' under a light source. Expose the train to bright light for a few minutes before playing in the dark. The glow will naturally fade over time and needs re-exposure to light.
