Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Early Engineers Rock N Roll Quarry Set Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)How I wish I had followed the first reviewer's recommendation not to purchase this product!!
The Rock and Roll Quarry Set has several design flaws that significantly detract from the value. First, it is set up in such a way that the train goes down the hill with the curved side of the tracks at the bottom thus causing it to derail. I added tracks to both ends, but you have to lift the train off the Quarry tracks in order to leave its circle. One can, again, lift the train to place it so it goes up the hill on the left (curved) side and can go down the hill onto the straight tracks I added to the set. There is no way this can be done without lifting the train off the tracks.
The hill should have a tunnel cut out of it so the train could at least go around the Quarry track without the the Quarry Ramp. Instead, the child is frustrated as the train runs into a wall.
Most of the time the "boulder" does not land in the cargo bin, but stops at the lip.
If the boulder is in the cargo car, it doesn't fit under the Maithwaite Station from the Roundabout Set - further frustrating play.
The crane constantly separates from the base as the child operates it.
Once the hill is snapped onto the base it can't be removed (unless to break it).
I purchased the Rock and Roll Quarry for $39.95, plus tax. However, it's not something my 22-month old nephew can really play with due to all the flaws. It frustrated me let alone a young toddler. I wish I had spent the extra $10 to purchase the Busy Day on Sodor Early Engineers set.
