Thomas the Tank Russian Nesting Nested Stacking Doll. 5 Pieces / 4 in Tall #4.126 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I collect nesting dolls and my grandson loves Thomas the Train, so this item was perfect. It came from Russia and the vendor put a Russian coin inside this. What a nice surprise! The item is of high quality.

Lionel G-Gauge Track Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product costs a lot merely to expand your existing Polar Express G-scale layout by a few feet, but it's sturdily built and stands up to our little boys.
My biggest complaint is that there are no crossovers (i.e., X-es) or switches to enable any configurations other than expanded loops, and no way to find any online. I suppose I might be able to create a mold out of clay and somehow mold my own version, but that would be extremely time-consuming. Why Lionel didn't see fit to include some of these is beyond me, as they'd probably have been able to sell a lot more track and cars.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Mountain Overpass Review

Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway - Mountain Overpass

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son first spotted the Mountain Overpass at a Barnes and Noble earlier this year. At $40.00 a pop, we told him he'd have to wait until his birthday (September) or Christmas to receive it.
Every once in awhile, I'd ask him what he wanted for his birthday just to see if he remembered the item...and by golly, he did!
The neatest thing about this Mountain Overpass is that the magnets on the train trigger sound effects. Trains and vehicles going *under* the tunnel trigger 3 different sets of sounds, while those going *over* the tunnel trigger another 3 sets of sounds (6 total). Of course, a child can activate the sounds by simply pushing a red button, but it's neat to see the delight on their faces when the train movement *itself* triggers the sound.
The Mountain Overpass is quite heavy and sturday, and also comes with 2 wooden extensions which connect to other wooden railway tracks.
My son has been playing with his Mountain Overpass ever since he received it for his birthday last week, and I know he has many more hours of fun ahead of him with this interactive sound adventure!

New adventures are waiting around every bend with Thomas and Friends Roadway Systems sets. Designed to grow along with kids' increasing skills, this quality line of toys offers years of enjoyable and imaginative play.
It takes more than trains to keep the Island of Sodor humming. Complete Sodor's transport system with the colorful stone-lined Mountain Tunnel Overpass set. Move engines over the bridge and under the tunnel. As Percy and Butch (sold separately) climb up this mountainous overpass, you'll "magically" activate realistic railway sounds. Requires 2 "AA" batteries (included).

BRIO Grand Turntable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This turntable is meant to be used with a roundhouse, not with 10 different tracks. 5 of the 6 plastic male connectors are meant to replace the 5 way track that comes with the roundhouse. It is a great addition to your track when used with a roundhouse, it saves space on the playboard.

Need a new look for your track layout? This essential piece of track will easily become the "turning point" for your train town. It features ten connection points and colorful graphics. Use the sturdy barrier in the center to change the direction and switch all engines and wagons. Made of solid wood.

Thomas & Friends TrackMaster Bridge Expansion set Review

Thomas and Friends TrackMaster Bridge Expansion set

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)THIS EXPANSION PACK IS A WASTE OF $. IT IS VERY MISLEADING. YOU ONLY NEED (4) OF THE (12) PIECES YOU GET. THE BRIDGE SUPPORTS (2) ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE ADDITIONAL ARCH SUPPORTS YOU GET SO THE BRIDGE STAYS LEVEL WITH THE FLOOR (NOT REALLY A BRIDGE THEN). IT IS VERY OVERPRICED A LOT OF PLACES ON THE INTERNET. TARGET SELLS IT FOR $10 AND THAT'S ABOUT ALL IT'S WORTH. IF YOU CAN GET IT FOR LESS, CONGRATS. REGRETFULLY I PAID A LOT MORE THAN THAT AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. I DIDN'T DO MY HOMEWORK FOR THIS PURCHASE; I WON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN.

Take Along Thomas Harold The Helicopter With Retractable Magnet with Magnetic Mail Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although the Take Along Thomas Harold (with magnet and mail bag) was smaller than I had imagined, my grandson really loved it. He showed it to me several times using Skype in our weekly telephone conversations, and my son says he has played with it a lot. I think this is because he sees Harold in his Thomas the Tank Engine videos.
As of this moment, 6 weeks or so after delivery, the toy still works! Just for the record, my grandson is 4.

Take Along Curved and Straight Track Pack Thomas the Tank Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son loves trains. He and I revel in devising new routes and lines for the locomotives. The only problem is that most sets don't have enough track to do much with. And while this track pack hasn't satisfied our need for more and more track, it has been a wonderful addition to our existing set. It has varying lengths of both straight and curved tracks (5 different lengths of straight track and 2 different lengths of curved track). And, perhaps most importantly, the set has what our family calls "double enders" which are those pieces that have either 2 female ends or 2 male ends (there is one of each in the pack). The "double enders" are virtually priceless in our house because inevitably we will have laid a series of track that can only be connected with one of these precious pieces. The Curved & Straight Track Pack has been well worth the money for all the fun we have had and continue to have with it. Our train set has been with us for 5 years and in constant toy rotation. There is no other toy we've had about which I can claim the same.

Trackmaster James Motorized Engine with Car Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The battery cover from this isn't secure so it falls off fairly easily along with the battery. Most of the other Trackmaster trains have a screw to prevent this from happening but this one doesn't. This is a bit hazardous as a little kid and batteries don't mix. I caught my 3 year old about to put the battery in his mouth.
The other annoying thing about it is it uses C batteries which is one of my pet peeves for children's toys. I'm all for using rechargeable batteries b/c kids will run these batteries dry fast and having to constantly replace the battery is a bit wasteful in my opinion. It would've been better if they used AA or AAA batteries which you can easily find rechargeable batteries for.
Lastly, after 2-3 weeks of play, one of the wires connecting the battery car to the motor car broke. I was able to splice the wire back together so all was not lost but it demonstrated how poorly made this toy is.
Other than those complaints, it runs well on the tracks and my kids have fun with it.

BRIO Speaking Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I felt deceived when I receieved this product. The speaking mechanism is NOT activated by the train passing through the station. It is only activated by pushing the button. No one wants to sit there and push a button! The idea is to have a voice speak out when the train rolls by. I was very disappointed, since Brio toys are so expensive.

6-12018 FT Manual Switch Right O Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought a few switches to make our basic loop more fun. The switch comes with a quarter turn piece of track. You can change the side that the switch post is on from the left to the right. This is helpful since the post can get in the way on some layouts. It is well built and trains make it smoothly across the switch without derailing. They are a bit expensive, but it makes your train set more fun. Be careful when ordering because there is a left hand and right hand switch.

Thomas The Tank Trackmaster R/C - Thomas Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an amazing product. It is sturdy, does not require constant fixing like the regular trackmaster trains do. It goes forward and backwards, enabling a lot of fun with split tracks and switches. It is just so much fun for kids and grownups. And is easy enough to use for a young toddler (unlike most remote control cars).
I wouldn't normally give a high educational rating for electronic toys - but this train took our trackmaster interest to a whole new level, enabling so much creative work! Love it love it love it!

Lionel FasTrack Uncoupling Track Review

(More customer reviews)My five-year old son got the Lionel North Pole Central fastrack set for Christmas 2008 and this Christmas, we wanted to expand the track a little to add some variety beyond a loop. This uncoupling track allows hime some more activity with his set and works well using the small wired remote included.
