Thomas and Friends: Sodor Fix-It Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 5 year old son got this for his birthday. There are so many different ways to connect the pump. Thomas will whistle, engine will fire up, railway mechanic can brush Thomas clean, clean out his funnel. You can even tighten Thomas' wheels. It's a fun toy. It's a little hard for my son to get the parts into the mechanic's hands, but he has fun using them by himself, without the mechanic. For someone who loves Thomas, this is great!!!

Thomas Wooden Railway Paint & Play Depot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Learning curve has many great ideas for its buildings, and now you have a chance to make your own building and passenger car.
Here are the steps you'll need to follow:
Step one: Before you begin, put throw-away paper, such as old newspaper underneath your project. Remember, Sir Topham Hatt does not approve of a mess!
Step two: Begin painting! You may use the paints that come with the set, or some paints you already own.
Step three: Wait a while for the paint to dry. (Enough time to watch a Thomas video.)
Step four: When the paint is dry, put your stickers on, and your project will be finished.
Here's what you can do: You can pretend that Toby is taking passengers to the grand opening of the new building.
Overall, 5 stars. Of course, Paint and Play Toby is a must-have for creative Thomas fans.

Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends Wooden Railway - The Works Engine Repair Shop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We had a Brio Suspension Bridge set and we were looking for something to add a little pizzazz to it. I saw this Engine Repair Shop and liked it instantly. Instead of placing it in the corner and having track only coming out of it, we used it as a sort of a tunnel, with switch track on both sides, which gave us a double track. The kids love opening and closing the doors in time for the train to pass through (we have a battery-operated engine)and using it as an engine house. It really transformed our basic set without having to spend a fortune.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Sodor Cement Works Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When it's positioned in your layout, it makes a bright, orange underpass, but using it for it's intended purpose is a bit troublesome. The little gray cement barrels don't always fall down when you press the top, and it gets my kids frustrated that they have to bang it several times. Also, unless you position the cement truck in just the right minute position, you are not going to get the cement piece into the back of it, as it's an extremely fine fit. The gate arm is the same used on the toll booth bridge, and it's horrible. Most of the time, it doesn't work, and the rest of the time, you have to use extreme pressure with your finger (hard even for an adult) to get it to work. Forget about your kids having enough strength to press it. The 2 little cement barrels are pretty small, and bound to get lost, then this thing serves no purpose. But, like I said, it looks nice as a big, orange tunnel!

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 the Tank Engine - Oliver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Thomas is by far the best toy around. It promotes free play and imagination. Most toys these days don't allow any free thought, as the lights and noises dictate what will happen. Oliver is my 2 year old's favorite green train. Whenever we read him a story with Percy in it, he corrects us "No Percy...Oliver!"

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway: Circus Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 3 yr. old recieved this for Xmas. Let me start off by saying that I was impressed by the quality of the toy and the care of its packaging. I also thought the playboard was a nice touch. By following the outline of the track sizes I was able to connect the tracks together in no time, which is good when you have an impatient child. As I watched my child play, the first thing I noticed is that the train came off the tracks a lot. I think it's because the track is a fairly tight curve most of the time. That annoyed me more than him. He would just patiently fix it each time. Then I noticed that the giraffe, when placed in the circus car, made the car unstable and it would fall out knocking the car over as well while he was driving around the curves. This frustrated my son a little, me even more! I think it was a bad design to have a tall animal like that. However, there is a fix to that. It turns out you can fit 2 animals in one car, so if you put the giraffe in a car with one of the others, it makes for a more snug fit, adding stability to the car. The last thing I noticed was that when you're driving the train around the circle and want to go through the middle crossover section, this can only be done from one direction. Meaning, you set up the trains the right way to go through the middle, but once you've gotten to the other side, the train is now going in the opposite direction. Thus, you can't go through the middle again! This bothered my son the most and me too. I was finally able to come up with a pseudo fix. I taught him how to drive the train backwards through the middle. He was satisfied with that, especially learning to do something new with the trains. In conclusion, knowing what I do, I don't believe I would purchase this set. If you ask my son, he will tell you he is happy with it. He probably plays with the trains just as much off the track as he does on. I've seen him play with a figure 8 set with one mountain/tunnel, and that kept his interest a lot longer than this one.

TWR Rumble Race Mountain Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 4 year old loves this toy - though for us adults it is rather annoying because it doesn't work too well (especially when you spend $100) - the design is off. Basically when the trains go down the track it's too steep and they keep going straight off the track instead of turning the corner. We tried adding some straight long tracks but the train still goes off the track. The mountain guard doesn't help - it just get's pushed aside. The mountain itself is made well, Aesthetically, as well as sturdy. Though it's also difficult to push the trains up the mountain due to the little entrance ways (for adult hands but little hands do well). My son doesn't mind, he get's several hours of entertainment from it. BUT, the cost and the design from an adult standpoint is very concerning - so that's why it get's an overall 3 stars. WARNING - it's LOUD!

Thomas & Friends Sodor Cargo Drop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)At first this looks like a great addition to a Thomas layout. But you have to remember that it says "Cargo Drop." The crane picks up a cargo item off of the roof of the building and then drops it into the car below. Remember, it does not lower it all the way, but "drops" it in. The crane will then not lower down enough to pick up the cargo out of the car. It has to be done by hand. That was a major disappointment. My four-year-old son got frustrated with this. We now use the swiveling cargo tower as a water tower. It lowers just enough to serve that purpose well.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Butch the Tow Truck Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The magnet that is suppose to pull the other trains around came out and was unrepairable soon after we purchased it. The magnet is a choking hazard, too. This tow truck does not fit well under the bridges either.

The combination of duribility, price and play versitility makes this toy a must for any Thomas fan. Unfortunately, Tomy has only released the majority of the Thomas series in Japan, so American consumers cannot get full value out of the series. There are dozons of rail sets and even more trains, including talking trains! Someone needs to patition Tomy to release more of this excellent toy series in the U.S.!
