Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We started with a figure 8 Thomas wooden coal track set and got expansion track sets. The Thomas wooden branded track sets can be very expensive though, and you can end up paying two dollars per track piece. Not only that, but there are very few switch track pieces.
Therefore I started looking into non-Thomas branded tracks and was very happy to find this. At this low price you get two double curved switch tracks, which gives you some great flexibility for expansion and fun. I hoped they were true to their word that it fit Thomas sets and they do very well.
My 3 year old had started out as just a conductor, preferring to just move his trains around the tracks that we built. About a month ago, he started building his own tracks, and loves to re-build them every few days. These two pieces have given him so many more interesting options! He has been very excited to build with these, though the complexity level has increased and he sometimes needs our help. But that is a wonderful thing - he's learning to deal with a higher level of complexity and thus learning from new challenges.
The only down side is that he broke off one of the couplings within a few days. I don't blame the manufacturer - he was making a track and had already coupled this piece and was pulling it extremely taut to try to connect the track further down the line. I don't think any track could have withstood that, the couplings on these seem the exact same as Thomas tracks. With a little wood glue, it was all fixed. That is the joy of wood track!
