Melissa & Doug Classic Wooden Railway Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains and Railway Sets
from: Melissa and Doug

March 13, 2007
I bought this for my Grandson's 3rd birthday and he plays with it constantly. Before receiving it I kept second guessing whether I should have bought the Thomas track, but after receving it, I have no regrets at all. The track itself is every bit as good as the Thomas track and the train station and trains are at least decent. My recommendation is to buy this set and eventually add some of the Thomas trains, stations, and bridges. As is mentioned in other reviews, if you plan on building 2nd level tracks, make sure you buy the Suretrack clips to keep the joined pieces of track together, otherwise you will find yourself and child becoming extreamly frustrated with the track falling apart every time it moves. I took things one step further and ... Read More:

ok i never imagined how tiny this train was, until I saw it. Definitely not worth the money. I wouldn't have bought it. And my son was not that much interested in a small thomas whatsoever.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Harold The Helicopter

My son likes the helicopter, but not as much as he likes his trains. My one complaint with the helicopter is that the magnet on the back doesn't line up with one's on the trains, so my son can't connect them together.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Gordon The Big Express Engine

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains and Railway Sets
from: Learning Curve

June 12, 2006
I was a railway fanatic when I was a little child; and now my son is, too, and probably more so than I ever was, thanks to the art and science of modern marketing. He wants Thomas this and Thomas that. He loves Gordon -- I guess most kids love Gordon because he's big and powerful. This hardwood toy looks nice, but doesn't seem very durable -- my son dropped it once and the wheel bases got really loose, to the point that we may need to buy another one. Also, these toys are made in China, and the trees they cut down to make these are from China, too, so I guess the cost to manufacture is probably 50 cents, but they charge U.S. consumers twenty bucks. Makes me wish I were in the toys trade.

Suretrack

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains and Railway Sets
from: Dazy, Inc.


Don't buy one box, buy TWO! The clips are so useful in keeping the track layout together that I started playing with the train set myself, like a delighted kid. The floor of my son's playroom is uneven, so the clips ensure that the track is smooth at every stage. Thus, fourteen clips in one box may not be enough. I just ordered my second box. Maybe the only drawback to this product is that my three-year old can't put the clips on the tracks by himself because it takes strength and manual coordination that he doesn't have yet. I guess this is an incentive for a parent to sit down with her kid! Anyway, in sum, Suretrack is a wonderful invention for any Thomas the Tank Engine fan who uses wooden tracks.

from: Learning Curve

My grandsons just love the 'topham hatt' car! This is a wonderful little toy for anyone who is into Thomas toys. My grandsons especially love the wooden 'learning curve' Thomas trains. There are trains and tracks on my floors all the time, seems like, but I love watching them play with them. They have such an imagination!

Maxim Deluxe F1 Ramp Racer 5 Level

from: Maxim

May 01, 2007
My 2 year old loves this and so do I! This racer by Maxim is made of sturdy wood and the colors are fun. The two cars speed down the ramps and switch directions at every angle change. It's always exciting to guess which car will win! Fun for the whole family, boys and girls alike would think it's really cool.
