Setup and Assembly

The LILLABO railway system is designed for easy assembly, allowing children to create their own track layouts. Follow these steps to set up your railway:

1. Unpack all components: Carefully remove all track pieces, trains, vehicles, and accessories from the packaging.
2. Plan your layout: Before connecting, arrange the track pieces on a flat surface to visualize your desired railway configuration. Consider using straight tracks for long stretches and curved tracks for turns.
3. Connect track pieces: Each wooden track piece has connectors that fit together. Align the male and female ends of two track pieces and gently push them together until they are securely joined.
4. Assemble accessories: Place buildings, trees, and signs around the track as desired. Some vehicles may have detachable parts; ensure they are securely attached if applicable.
5. Place trains and vehicles: Once the track is complete, place the train engines and carriages onto the tracks. Ensure all wheels are properly seated on the rails.
