I've seen so many toys broken before Christmas is even finished, so I wanted to get my grandson something that would last. This toy is superb quality, very strong, brightly coloured and with the addition of some more vehicles, provided two little boys with hours of fun on the first day. I did hesitate before spending so much, but I'm so glad I did now.

This is a good starter set for anyone looking to get in to Railway modelling or convert to DCC models.
I bought this after an absence of 16 years in Model railways and loved it, the Pendolinos tilt mechanisms good, and you can really see it on 2nd and 3rd radius curves.
I'd also recommend you buy the track extension packs that go along with it if you don't plan to model your own track.

My son has a large collection of the take along Thomas range. These little trains are perfect for taking out and about - they're a lovely size. Ours have lasted quite well considering the heavy play they get from 4 young kids. OK, so they may have a few little chips in them now, but nothing that would take any fun out of them - they just look more authentic!!! And they don't chip nearly as easily as the wooden range.
I would highly recommend these to anyone with Thomas mad kids!

I bought this for my 3 month old nephew. He is now 18 months and it is one of his favourite toys. The speech is in UK english and there are a variety of different sayings.
As the train is pushed along it makes a steam train noise so I didn't have to look for my nephew, I heard him coming.
The only downside is if like him you keep using it a lot the batteries run down. An excellent toy overall and it keeps your little one active.

My girl is 3yrs old and got her Brio train set for Christmas together with Thomas and Molly. The highlight however is this tunnel! All the other kids that visit (as well as my girl) just love it. Can't see the educational value really - just great fun!

I bought Thomas, James, Annie, Clarabel and a Troublesome Truck for my 3 year old Nephew. He is having great fun with them even though they are not compatible with his Brio track. The Amazon website does not explain this. Only one side runs in the track, the other side runs over the 'sleepers' if there were any. He still finds it great fun but I wonder what will happen when he is older and realises the problem. We will probably buy some Learning Curve track for Christmas so that he can run Thomas and friends on their own track, going under bridges on the Brio. He can pretend its the island of Sodor.

We bought this for our 5 (nearly 6) year old son for Christmas as he is a fan of both Lego and trains but it has far exceeded all our expectations. There are a few different coaches and trucks which enabled him (very patiently and with a little help) to build each one up. Imagine, then, the joy when the train was complete and could be moved around the track with the remote control!! I know that only a few days have elapsed since Christmas but this item has already brought so much fun and I'm sure will continue to do so - and it is educational too, as it requires a lot of patience, concentration and application to put it together. Expensive, perhaps, but well worth the money to see the smile on a little boy's face!!
