Bigjigs Wooden Train Virgin Pendolino - 5-piece

The Pendolino trains, one of the country's most recognizable trains, first came to the United Kingdom in 2001, when Virgin Trains purchased 53 Class 390 Pendolinos. Pendolinos were developed in Italy in the 1960s. The name is derived from the Italian word pendolo, meaning 'little pendulum', due to the way the train tilts when taking curves on the track. Thanks to the Pendolino train's tilting mechanism, it can travel at higher speeds over older tracks while maintaining passenger comfort. The maximum speed of a Pendolino is 225 km/h, but in the United Kingdom, it is only permitted to travel at 200 km/h. The Bigjigs Rail Virgin Trains Pendolino runs at a more modest speed, powered by little hands along a wooden railway network! This Virgin Pendolino toy train is the perfect addition to a wooden train set and comes with two locomotives, a carriage, and two pieces of wooden track. Magnetic couplings ensure compatibility with the Bigjigs Rail range. Most other major brands of wooden train sets are compatible with Bigjigs Rail.
