6-29311 Strasburg Derrick Car Review

6-29311 Strasburg Derrick Car
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this derrick car because it's something different from the usual box cars or hoppers. This car really depicts the industrial "feel" that I'm looking for with my Lionel set. This car allows you to use the pulley device with crank, as well as lock it into position. Be careful, as this car can reach new heights, and suddenly be scraping the clearance to your mountain tunnel. Nevertheless, I like raising or lowering the crane. Overall, this car is durable, and expect it to last forever if maintained properly.

We got this toy as a present. The train cars keep popping off when they are being moved around. The train only stays connected when not being played. I cannot believe a brand like Fisher Price would ever put this product on the market.
We didn't get a gift receipt, so we are stuck with this useless toy.
We have another train of the Little People toy series which is 200% better.

As you can tell by the description we are very dissapointed! The picture and description of toy made me purchase this item for my son who loves trains. However, once opening the product my son wasn't interested in the toy. The pieces do not stay together, and as he tried to push his new "choo choo" across the table it fell apart. Even the plastic that the toy is made out of is cheap and flimsy. Such a waste of money!

I bought this for my niece for Christmas. She's 21 mos. old (almost 2) and it was the first thing she wanted to play with. My sister says she LOVES it and I saw her playing with it at home, 3 weeks after Christmas as well. The pieces are just the right size for little hands and there is enough to do without "electronic overload." Just a very nice toy.

Wow Activity Play Table Review

this table is smaller than typical train table and also higher. i did not want to invest in the floor space required of a bigger traintable. the smaller size fits well in my 3 yr old child's small bedroom and she can play with it standing up only which is ok because she only plays with trains a little bit compared to all her other toys. i have the girl's imaginarium trainset with fountain that fits well enough within the table. the graphic is cute and bright and the table is sturdy and fairly easy to put together (mostly glue and wood dowels all included)

Life-Like Trains HO Scale Conventional Track - Track Expander Set Review

Life-Like Trains  HO Scale Conventional Track - Track Expander Set
Average Reviews:

I suggest that you shouldn't put in HO scale products under "N scale Trains" search. I made a mistake when I ordered this and I was surprised when I received an HO scale thinking I ordered an N scale track expander set....There is also no description which states it is HO scale. So anyone shopping under N scale would think this product is under N scale.... I'm sure a lot more people made this mistake...Amazon should take this product out under N scale..

Wooden Toy - Pounding Pegs Review

Wooden Toy - Pounding Pegs
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I began my quest for a simple pounding peg bench, so that my grandson could relive the enjoyment I recall from one of my favorite childhood toys. To my disappointment, all I could find was relative junk . . . made of pressed wood/resin and even using rubber o-rings for resistance that actually provided almost none. Hammers that fell apart. Pegs that would fall all the way through with merely a tap of the finger (perhaps in the spirit of non-violence, we wouldn't want the child to actually have to HAMMER the pegs??). Not to mention the current concerns over leaded paint in toys.
Fortunately, I located this Charlie's Workshop pounding peg toy. Expensive (about $80.00 w/ shipping), but seems to be a fair purchase. I received it by UPS Ground within a week of ordering. Old-world handcrafted quality. Non-toxic materials and sturdy enough to use as a wheel chock for a truck. The bench and pegs are almost twice the dimensions of the similar toy that used to be so commonly sold. Nice hardwood finish. Nicely resistance-fitted pegs that actually have to be hammered through the holes (which is the whole idea).
As I said, pricey but a quality toy that can be handed down through generations.

G B/U Freight Depot Review

G B/U Freight Depot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a garden railroad structure, about 1:24 in scale (1/2 the scale of most dollhouses) and built to stand up to weather and rough treatment out of doors. This building was designed to handle freight near the Aristo-Craft #7200 Built-Up Passenger Station, but there's no reason you can't use it as another general-purpose station somewhere else on your railroad. This building offers excellent value, and the platform gives you many detailing options. --

Purchased this toy for my daughter's 2 year Birthday. Her face spoke volumes. So surprised. Instantly said, "WOW... PLEX!". My daughter at times being 2 years old tosses the little vehicle around and holds up well. Still looks new. Well made. I recommend this toy to parents that have children that enjoy the program Yo Gabba Gabba.

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).

G European 4' Diameter Curve (12) Review

G European 4' Diameter Curve (12)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This AristoCraft track is the same quality as the track that comes with AristoCraft train sets, but it is made to look right with most old-time or European train sets such as those made by Bachmann and LGB. In fact it fits with LGB "G Scale" track mechanically and visually, although the ties are black instead of brown. This track is weather-resistant, so you can leave it outside in your garden for years on end. Even if you're running your trains indoors, this is a huge improvement over the all-plastic track or plastic-and-sheet-metal track that comes with some trains.
That said, if you have room for larger curves, such as the 5-foot, 8-foot, or 10-foot diameter curves (also available from Aristocraft), you won't be sorry - Trains look better and run better on larger curves. But if you're cramped for space you should know that, you can't buy a better quality 48" circle of large scale brass track than this one.
The #11000 set of 12" straight pieces from AristoCraft are a nice addition to this set.
If you're running modern trains trains, such as most AristoCraft and USA trains, you might consider using the "USA-style track" equivalents: AristoCraft # 30100 curves and #30030 straight pieces. Don't stress out over the differences between the two styles of track, though - they're mechanically identical, and any Large Scale train set will work with either style of track.

Life-Like Trains N Scale Freight Flyer Electric Train Set Review

Life-Like Trains  N Scale Freight Flyer Electric Train Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I live alone in a small apt & have had no train since I was young back in the '40s & '50s when every Christmas I set up my train on a figure 8 track under the Christmas tree. I did a lot off research online before I finally settled on this train which I have put on one end of my dining table & plan to have a simple layout for it, probably with a Christmas tree in the middle of it.
My initial impression upon receiving the train was negative as I had to almost destroy the packaging in order to get it open. Then while I was carefully removing the train components, one of the little freight cars lost a pair of wheels due to being packed too tightly in the box. I was especially disappointed to see that the railings on the locomotive were very cheaply made, very fragile & easily torn off. One did partially tear off & the only way I could get it stuck back on was with scotch tape.
However, despite my inferior eyesight due to aging, I was eventually able to replace the pair of wheels on the freight car. I set up the track & was able one by one to place first the locomotive & then the various cars on the track & finally get the train going after quite a bit of experimentation. Obviously the "N scale" because of its smaller size takes special handling but we have become "friends" now.

The Road and Rail Zip bin made me as happy as it did my two boys. When zipped up into a bin it can hold an amazing amount of trains and track, literally an entire floor full!!! It was the perfect solution to my little train lovers clutter. What really makes it a spectacular deal is that the detail on the play mat is better than most train play mats I've seen, but for a better price you also get fantastic storage. It is good for both cars and trains.
