Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (We LOVE Thomas) 『My son started playing with the Take Along Thomas set when he was two. Now he is five and he is still enamored. These play sets have lasted through international moves and cross country road trips. They are great for going to visit the Grandmas. I will keep every last piece of this set after he is grown for his children. I would also recommend the books and dvds. The message is of doing the right thing and being a good person. Like I said we love Thomas!』
(Great toy!) 『This was a gift for my nephew. We knew he was getting a big set of the Take Along Thomas&got this to go with it. When he received this, he hadn't gotten the other one yet. He played with it immediately, working the conveyor belt. I think Thomas will keep him busy for hours.』
(Coal loading has toddler appeal- who knew?) 『The coal loader station is my toddlers favorite building. Like a lot of his tastes, I can't say why. I can tell you he is endlessly entertained by it. I recommend it as a top tier pick when assembling a set.』
(Troublesome Trucks need coal) 『We are very happy with the Coal Loader set. The mechanics are simple and my three year old can work them. They are made of hard plastic and have stood up to my son's play, but he's not too destructive; these would probably break if an adult stepped on them. Since he's fascinated with the Troublesome Trucks, this has been a great addition.』
(Thomas Coal Loader) 『My 3 yo son likes this as an addition to his other Take Along Thomas playsets』 『Fun is just around the bend with this Coal Loader Playset. Includes cargo car, six track pieces, two coal pieces and playset with working coal loader and conveyor belt. Use to expand play with other Thomas and Friends Railway playsets, sold separately. Measures 11".』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Thomas and Friends) 『This was a gift for a 2 year old. As he likes Thomas, I am sure he will find this a great addition to his set.』
(made where?) 『theese trains will hook up to made in usa take alongs by force of the magnet. however the magnet is a different shape and when they connect will not line up straight to remain on wooden tracks and always fall over. if using as an on the floor toy or take somewhere with ya toy then fine. 』
(pleased) 『all these thomas the tank engine trains are the greatest. My 2 sons love them, and I would purchase more as time goes on. the shipping is so fast that I would order online again』
(These are GREAT for toddlers) 『Just to let you all know.. there are more avaiable at Target.. I had bought most of the Portable ones at Target and they are all great!!!! Perfect to take along...I LOVE them as much as my son.』
(Well-made and durable, but be careful) 『A well-meaning grandparent purchased this James for my son. The engine and tender are made of die-cast metal and the magnets can be used in both directions, unlike the wooden Thomas cars and engines. And therein lies the problem. All take along Thomas engines are NOT compatible with the popular Thomas wooden railway toys, meaning that this engine does not fit on the wooden track, and the wooden Thomas engines do not fit on track and playsets built for this James engine and his friends.』 『A medium-sized engine. He likes to think of himself as a really splendid engine. This can occasionally lead to grandiose ideas about the sort of work suitable for such a noble creature, which invariably lands James in trouble. Features "Smart Magnets" that connect either way and an exclusive collector's card. Measures 5 1/8" long.』

(Just Marginal) 『I bought this for my son because he enjoyed playing with it at a friend's house, but unfortunately, the appeal didn't last. (After all, it is just a shed.) The fact you can move a lever and make the train exit is neat, but other than that, it's nothing special. If you child MUST have every piece of Thomas equipment or his collection won't be complete, then get it, otherwise, spend your money elsewhere.』
(My son loves it.) 『My son loves using the Useful Engine Shed but there is one catch. The roof of the shed is a separate piece and doesn't fit snugly. When my son plays with it, it usually falls or gets knocked off (he's 3). I have glued the top on with wood glue and hope that will solve the problem because I don't want to keep "fixing it" for him. Overall, a good product and I am glad we got it for him.』
(A great house for your child's trains) 『My son loves his "train house". It is a great place to put the engines when they are resting. This is a very small and compact piece, making it easy to fit into layouts. This is a great, smaller, more affordable alternative to the roundhouse.』 『The Useful Engine Shed makes a great home for any engine! A slide-out lever feature allows your child to eject an engine from the Useful Engine Shed and onto the track. The shed features a clear roof and colorful graphics, and its mall size will allow it to fit into virtually any layout. Measures 6" long.』

(COnversion tracks) 『Nicholas and his friends had a lot of fun with the additional tracks to his Thomas the Train Ride On.』
(Mom of 2 yr old) 『Nice size track and child loves it. However, the track could be improved with groves so the it so the train doesn't slip as smooth plastic train wheels on smooth plactic track doesn't provide tracation. Make sure to open right away as I was missing a piece of track.』
(great purchase) 『I got this in conjuction with the train and i'm glad i did because even thought it takes alot of space my son loves it. The tracks that come with the train is not enough.』
(sort of warped) 『This addition to our track arrived boxed fine, no damage, but the ends were warped to the point that the train wasn't powerful enough to plow over the lips it created. They must have been stored in a hot warehouse. Its too bad because they make the ride more interesting than just the oval. Although I think my little guy would have just as much fun without this conversion. Keep your money and try it first without this addition.』 『Convert the track included with your Santa Fe Train Set into a huge Figure-8 track with this accessory. Features four straight, six curved and one four-piece intersection in addition to those provided with the train to create the "Figure 8". Made of sturdy plastic designed for many years of active use.

The only think I would have liked is for the pieces to have magnets on the front and back so they could be added into a train like other train cars. I know that they aren't supposed to be train cars but my 2 year old doesn't so he likes these less.』 『Always useful and ready in an emergency, this Fire Pumper and Hook&Ladder are the first to arrive at any fire on the Island of Sodor.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (So Much Fun!) 『We bought this last year for our son's birthday and we were all fighting over the remote control to play with it! It's so much more fun than a plain old R/C car or truck because it can also do Monster Truck tricks like spinning around and going up on its back tires. The battery cover for the remote broke almost immediately, but we were able to remedy that with a little chunk of wood (it wasn't quite at the same level as the surrounding plastic) and some duct tape. The truck itself has performed like a tank. Fun for five year olds and their parents!』
(Lots of fun!) 『We gave this toy to our 5 year old boy in celebration of his Birthday. He says it is the BEST toy he has ever gotten. There is not educational value but lots of good fun!』
(Toy) 『A good toy but the one I got had a faulty battery compartment. It took a while to figureout what was wrong and more time to devise a way to make it work. After I contacted them, TYCO did sen a replacement voucher.』
(Perfect for kids) 『We had bought one of those monster trucks available everywhere for the 2008 Christmas season. Those manufactured by New Bright. What a piece of trash it was, failed in the first hour of use with magic smoke from the flimsy circuit board. That was $40 down the drain. This Grave Digger truck, however, has proven tough as nails. The only problem we have with it is the limited range of the remote control, probably around 10-12 feet. Once the truck is outside that radius, it's dead until you get back in range and then it's fine. The stunts are a lot of fun as well. Our 3 year old son loves it, so it's a hit and well worth the money.』
(Works great, usually) 『I bought this sort of as a joke for my boyfriend (and his cat). It's fun and the cat loves to chase it, but it doesn't always work and sometimes you have to hit it to get it going. Seems like there's a bad connection somewhere. Definitely pretty shoddy workmanship, so if you're looking for a quality toy or buying for someone who might throw a fit if it stops working, you might look elsewhere.』 『Get the excitement of the Monster Jam® circuit with cool wheelie and tailspin stunt action - all at the press of a button! Includes full function control and awesome Monster Jam® stylings! Press one button and do an awesome 1080 degree tailspin, then press a second button to do a wheelie while driving forward!
