Review of Thomas Battery Operated Set
By Linda R
The set is really cute, and Thomas really chugs along. My daughter really enjoys watching Thomas go. The only problem is that Thomas falls off the track too much when trying to go around the curves and where there is a break in the tracks (such as a switch track). My husband and I believe this is due to the fact that the wheels have rubber on them. It probably was not neccessary to put rubber on all of the wheels, especially the front ones. In looking at the Brio battery operated set, the engine only has rubber on the middle wheels - this is probably a better system. Also, Battery operated Thomas is higher than all of the other trains and cars, so the magnets don't hook on as well as they would with the regular engines. But those things aside, it really is a very fun thing to play with - adults and children!!

By A Customer
We got this train as a gift for our 21 mo old son from his grandparents. He loved it immediately and was easily able to manipulate the train. However, we also found that it would run off the track at the same point every time!! It was so frustrating and dissapointing that we had my parents return it. If you spend ... on a wooden train set, you want it to work and to last! My brother also had the same porblem with his set.

Frustrating Toy!
By A Customer
This toy is a big waste of money. It is too difficult for a 3 year old. Everytime my son attempts to put the trains back on the track the tracks start falling apart. The trains fall off all of the time. Don't waste your money your child will only end up frustrated.
