Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway System: Mike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If your child likes playing with Thomas & Friends trains, Mike's job is to help the Great Western steam engines Duck and Oliver on the Arlesdale branch line, working in places like the Barrel Loader. He works hard and means well, but he likes to boast to his new friends about everything, especially his loud and shrill whistle. He would be a good engine to use in heavy-duty jobs like pulling logs or barrels.
You might not know Mike, but that's probably because he has not been in a video yet. I'm sure after you read this review, you'll know pretty much about Mike and will want to add him to your collection.

Thomas Wooden Railway Tidmouth Milk Tanker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Most people are well aware of the Thomas & Friends set well before you need to read a review. Suffice to say that the Milk Tanker is of the same high quality construction as the vast majority of other engines and cars available, and they last forever. But here are two reasons to buy this particular car:
1. Good price here on Amazon (...).
2. This particular car is one that few people have, so it sticks out in kid's minds. It's unusual and every child that has come over to play with my son always says, "wow!" and wants to play with the milk tanker.
So go ahead and and this car to your set -- it's a good one!

Spinmaster Aquadoodle Thomas Toot N Doodle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son loves anything Thomas, so this was a must with him. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as enjoyable as depicted on TV.
My son loves to draw and "doodle" and had the entire mat covered within a few minutes. He wanted to know why he couldn't "wipe it off". (He loves his write-on/wipe-off board on his art easel, which provides hours of entertainment). He was extremely frustrated with the fact that the mat didn't dry very quickly. You know how long fabric takes to dry!!
Thomas does indeed follow the "wet" track. But beware, if your child draws sharp turns or draws anything else close to the track, or if the track is not completely solid, the engines steering mechanism moves off course very easily. Another frustration to my son, he likes things to work they way they are supposed to.
The train is actually quite cute. However, it is rather large for the small mat size.
All in all, using his Thomas the tank train table ia a more enjoyable train experience, and his write-on/wipe-off art board is a more enjoyable art experience.
It's true it doesn't make much of a mess, but then again neither does any other toy that my son ignores. Once he was done "wetting it down" he didn't have the patience to wait for it to dry for an hour, so he moved onto other toys. Hasn't gone back to it since.
I can think of many other toys I'd rather have for $40! Leap Frog comes to mind!

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Rusty with Construction Cars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What I meant by my title is that I already had Rusty and I just wanted the Construction Cars. The cars sway from side to side and they can survive a lot of damage. I was suprised at how durable these were. The sets are a lot of fun because you don't need any additional things to go with it for immediate fun. These toys are really good for a car trip to keep a child busy when they are bored. I would higly recommend getting this set but don't buy Rusty first.

Rusty is a very self-assured and dedicated worker with a huge heart. Along with his dumper and cement mixer, Rusty proves to be an extremely useful engine at construction sites. Mixer turns as Rusty pulls it along. Hinged dumper includes removable magnetic load. Works on and off track. Designed with big buttons for smaller fingers.
