this toy is a nightmare!

firstly when you set it up if you touch any of the track or buildings they literally fall to pieces - the helicopter does not drop the balls, the trains only pick up half of them and the whole thing is a huge disappointment.

i bought it for my two year old to watch (obviously with the small balls you couldn't leave a youngster unsupervised with it) but i've ended up boxing the whole thing up and hiding it away, as its frustrating and annoying - perhaps i just got a duff one but it has made me think twice about the quality of tomy products!

Wooden Thomas & Friends: Cranky the Crane

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Thomas the Tank Engine
from: Racing Champions


Every kid loves this toy. The crane head rotates in a complete circle (and then back again, not around and around), and the magnet on the rope goes up and down with another crank. Ours has been in use for several years now, and I'm pleased and surprised to report that the string has not broken despite heavy use.

There is one problem with this toy (other than the hefty price). The crane head comes off very easily, and putting it back on is too fiddley for a young child. It's got a round peg which slots into a round hole, but with one slightly flattened edge so it must be lined up just so to work. The adults on hand are called over several times during each play session to reafix the head so play can resume.

I agree with the previous reviewer. These trains are not as well made or as durable as the ones which were made by Brio. I too am on the lookout for the few Thomas characters made by Brio we don't have.

Wooden Thomas & Friends: Quarry Mine Tunnel

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Thomas the Tank Engine
from: Racing Champions


As with the entire Thomas wooden railway by Learning Curve, this piece is very expensive for what it is. That said, it is one of my son's all time favourite pieces, and is a well made and durable toy.

It is compatible with all the Thomas sets and track. The door at the bottom of the tunnel opens both ways so trains can go in either direction through it. My nearly-three-year-old adores sending the trains through so they 'disappear' and 'reappear' again on the other side.

Highly recommended - but worth shopping around to find it cheaper elsewhere...
