Customer Reviews

Great concept and our daughter loves it, but disappointing re: quality / design.
We bought this for our 2.5 year old daughter because she is mad about Thomas. We found it great on many levels: it comes with Thomas, Percy, James, Spencer and Diesel; the idea of sending the engines whizzing down the winding mountain was great fun for all the family; it is compact, so doesn't take over the sitting room floor and fits easily in the car for transportation to Granny & Grandad's house, making visits a lot less boring! She loves it and it keeps her occupied for hours, both as a playset and by finding new and exciting adventures for the engines away from the mountain. What we found singularly unimpressive is the quality of the set. Given that it is marketed as suitable for 12+ months, it is flimsy. The tracks pop apart of their own volition because the pieces are just fractionally too short to fit together without straining them. This was easily remedied by the application of a bit of superglue, but for the price, should this really be necessary? Diesel & Spencer are also too light to make it down the mountain without regular nudging. The steamies fair better being slightly heavier, and we found that a bit of beeswax on the track (AFTER supergluing the junctions) worked wonders for everyone's speed. The boulder, we found next to useless because the wall on the first turn after you release it is too low, so it perpetually shoots off the side rather than following the trains down. This hasn't proved an issue for our little one as it's all about the engines for her, but still irritates us as it is a simple design flaw that could be easily remedied. All in all, it is a great toy and you do get a lot of Thomas and friends for the money, but after paying £25 - £44 (depending on where you buy it) it would be very nice not to have to painstakingly apply stickers to the various inaccessible bits of the mountain (all of the facades come in sticker form to be applied to the moulded plastic shapes), nor to have to permanently secure the track together and to have a boulder that is more than mere decoration. For the sake of a few extra pence worth of plastic, Tomy could have gotten this absoutely perfect.

Perfect for small children !!
I have never bothered to review an item before but I feel I should for this item as I bought one for my son who was 18 months at the time and it it by far his most played with toy. I thought it would only occupy him for 5 minutes but he loves it. He doesn't seem to tire with the trains and boulder rolling down the tracks and just keeps finding new things he can shove down it. All in all a 1st class toy - hours of entertainment !!

Firm favourite
I got this for my little boy's first birthday and he's played with it every day since then (nearly five months). As he gets older he works out how to operate different bits himself - he's just learned how to push the lever to make the Boulder roll down, but he hasn't really explored the bridge or the turntable yet so there is still more to discover. It's all really durable and still looks as good as new too. Very impressive!
