Costumer Reviews

For around fifteen dollars this is a nice Trackmaster starter set. This is a plastic, battery operated Thomas that runs on plastic track. It is not compatible with the better-known wooden sets. The train has a plastic hook for connecting additional cars. The train goes pretty fast, and it uses 1 AA battery which lasts a long time. To put the battery in, pull down on the middle wheels while lifting the top off.

I am only giving this four stars because the set does not include Thomas' coaches Annie and Clarabel. These are hard to find. Before Trackmaster started making this, it was made by "Tomy". You might find Annie and Clarabel on eBay if you search for Tomy.

This is a very basic loop of track and one engine. You will want to expand it by buying additional track, coaches and engines.

We have some of the wooden trains and some of the battery operated plastic trains, and our children tend to play more with the battery operated plastic trains. They like building tracks and then watching the engines and cars go around by themselves. They especially like having switches to switch the trains onto other tracks.

My mom got this toy for my son who is 6. was going to return it because I thought it was too young for him. He LOVES it. She bought him extra tracks to go with it and he is having a blast trying to figure out different track patterns. It is one of his favorite gifts, i would not have expected that. I gave it a high rating on the educational value as well only because my kid is trying to figure out new patterns, not because of anything else.
