My son is just 19 mo old and not really talking well, so Mom has all the fun of recording new announcements each day -- he loves to play them back. He loves to push first my announcement, then the train sound button every time he pushes a train past the station. The stationmaster figure is a cute lego type figure, and he loves to put that behind the door. Its also articulated so you can pose it.

The light though is not very visible in a well lit playroom. Overall, its so much better built with real painted on features than some Thomas buildings he has which have peeling decals after a month of use...

This is a great addition to any wooden train set. Offering a little more "play value" than just a standard station... the choo choo sounds and record & play function are a hit with my family.

While most of it is plastic, it's very well built and sturdy. The audio (record & playback) is actually pretty good for a toy like this (clear, good volume, etc).

We must have owned this product for about 4 years now and the voice recording part is as good as ever. My children find it hilarious fun recording messages, songs and other sounds for the station announcement. It is very simple to do so even 3 year olds can master it. You can record again and again.

With two boys who have hundreds of Thomas related items (my youngest son is even called Thomas because of his older brother's Thomas obsession) I would rate this as our second best purchase ever.

There are four easily operated buttons on the top of the station. The far right button switches on and off two station lights. The next button operates a steam train sound - a very realistic steam train slowing down into the station noise. The far left button plays the sound you have recorded and pressing down this button plus the button next to it while speaking records your message.

It fits onto every kind of wooden track we have: brio, learning curve, supermarket own brand etc. but my children are equally happy carrying it around and making me jump wth the messages you can record. Be prepared for some great role playing and fun messages to make you laugh.

A must have purchase for anyone with a wooden train set.

my son loves it, good addition to his train set; however, the little green door is keep coming out, other than that -great toy
