All of them. There is enough slop in the way Brio track connects that kids
can make just about anything work. We have a layout upstairs right now that
my two year old daughter (who loves her Brio trains) put together. She
(with some help) is able to grasp the process of connecting the pieces of
track together. The fact that she uses two different radius curvers bothers
her none. The track has turned which is her goal.
I would love to see LEGO have the same track selection that Brio has however
my first choice would probably be the 1/4 and 1/2 track sections. These
should be easy to do. Didn't LEGO introduce the cross track element in the
last three years or so?
