My almost 3 twin nephews are requesting train or car sets for Christmas. They love Thomas the Train, Toy Story, Phineas and Ferb. Portable sets would be best as they are on the go a lot.

When we were younger, my brothers used to have hot wheels garages/sets that folded up and then opened. Something like that would be perfect but I am having problems finding similar items.

Any good recs for portable car/train sets?

I'm not schooled up on little boy toys! :D

Matchbox makes a ton of them. I've seen them at Target before if you need B&M

Matchbox and Hotwheels have fold up playsets still. They used to have a lot more choices but I am struggling to find them. But, here is an example:

They had much bigger ones too at one point. GL!

Great job!!! I swear last time I checked Amazon I couldn't find them. We have ones like I linked to but those are our favorites.

DS got the construction set last year and really likes it. We do take it places, but it's nice for home play, too.
