Awesome!
I bought this train track for my son's third birthday. It is an awesome train track! My son loves it he has not tired of it in the 6 months that he has had it. He loves building the track. 97% of the pieces are very durable( my son is very rough with his toys) The trains are very cute. I spent a long time on amazon trying to decide which train to buy him and I am not disappointed. I would buy it again. I recommend this train track for any boy who love trains.
Love the train set!
I love this train set. It is very well made, with one exception, which is that parts of the roundhouse are made of particle board and have crumbled a little. The tracks and bridges and everything are solid, though, and the set is overall well worth the value especially considering the pricey brand alternatives. My son and I have had years of fun with this set, and I would definitely by it again.
Great Train Set Great Value!
I bought this for my Grandson's 3rd birthday and he plays with it constantly. Before receiving it I kept second guessing whether I should have bought the Thomas track, but after receving it, I have no regrets at all. The track itself is every bit as good as the Thomas track and the train station and trains are at least decent. My recommendation is to buy this set and eventually add some of the Thomas trains, stations, and bridges. As is mentioned in other reviews, if you plan on building 2nd level tracks, make sure you buy the Suretrack clips to keep the joined pieces of track together, otherwise you will find yourself and child becoming extreamly frustrated with the track falling apart every time it moves. I took things one step further and nailed/stapled a Suretrack piece to each wood block riser. Now I can literally drag the 2nd story track assembly around and it stays perfectly in place. Also, I don't know what the other reviewer's complaint was about the track geometry being off. I'm an engineer and would have noticed something like this, but didn't. This is truely a great train set!
