yes - in fact Brio came up with the original defacto "standard" (track width, connectors, etc) in the late 1950's and it's probably more correct to say that (wooden) Thomas train sets (that first came out in the early 1990's) are compatible with Brio.
The IKEA wooden trains and tracks are also compatible. The only real problem being that the bridge on the IKEA set is too low for the Thomas trains to fit under.
