Ask Munipals

Ask for them at neighborhood toy stores in New York, New Jersey, Chicago, and Philadelphia, but also look for shops in Museums and other institutions. Grand Central Terminal is a great place to visit in New York, and we're in two shops there! There are several online stores that also sell Munipals®, including our own, and they ship from different parts of the country, so you might be able to save by ordering from an online store nearer to you.

We sell track in our Midtown Manhattan Stations and Track Set, but any standard-sized wooden track like Brio® and Thomas® will work, even IKEA® sells wooden track sets. There are many options online for wooden track, and used track is a great option too. Look for track in yard or garage sales or online. Ebay is a great source for track, and since they're solid wood a light cleaning will make them as good as new.

Maybe you can, or maybe someone you know can, but you would have to have pretty good woodworking skills to be able to make good tracks. Router bits to carve the grooves in the tracks, and the cutters for the connecting joints can both be found online. Just search for "wooden track router bits." Maybe if they come out nicely you can try selling them, after all, it is an open standard and unpainted wood tracks don't have to be safety tested.
