A well-meaning grandparent purchased this James for my son. The engine and tender are made of die-cast metal and the magnets can be used in both directions, unlike the wooden Thomas cars and engines. And therein lies the problem. All take along Thomas engines are NOT compatible with the popular Thomas wooden railway toys, meaning that this engine does not fit on the wooden track, and the wooden Thomas engines do not fit on track and playsets built for this James engine and his friends.

My 2 year old son has just "discovered" Thomas the Tank Engine. The "Take Along" series are a great size for his little hands, and he manages to snap the tracks together quite easily. And, these are more affordable than the wooden series. He really likes James' red colour and the little coal car that comes with him. I just wish that more of the sets for the series were available on Amazon.

This was a gift for a 2 year old. As he likes Thomas, I am sure he will find this a great addition to his set.

theese trains will hook up to made in usa take alongs by force of the magnet. however the magnet is a different shape and when they connect will not line up straight to remain on wooden tracks and always fall over.
if using as an on the floor toy or take somewhere with ya toy then fine.

all these thomas the tank engine trains are the greatest. My 2 sons love them, and I would purchase more as time goes on. the shipping is so fast that I would order online again

Just to let you all know.. there are more avaiable at Target.. I had bought most of the Portable ones at Target and they are all great!!!! Perfect to take along...I LOVE them as much as my son.
