Product Description
Amazon.com Review
With the Thomas and Friends Spin and Fix Train Set, kids get to be train conductors! Children will love sending Thomas the train around the tracks and into the model steamworks for a tune-up. They can a operate the railroad switches to send Thomas into a revolving pod, turn on the repair tool to generate flashing lights and sound, and then use the crane to pick Thomas up. Designed for kids four years and older, this model train set provides hours of imaginative play.
All Aboard Thomas the Train!
The Thomas and Friends Train Set is more than a railroad--it's a large, colorful train yard where kids can reroute Thomas and make a number of exciting train-car repairs. Much of the action is centered around the Sodor Steamworks, where kids can operate a crane with a claw that lifts Thomas into the air, or rotate a dial that spins Thomas around in a rotating pod.

All Aboard Thomas the Train!
The Thomas and Friends Train Set is more than a railroad--it's a large, colorful train yard where kids can reroute Thomas and make a number of exciting train-car repairs. Much of the action is centered around the Sodor Steamworks, where kids can operate a crane with a claw that lifts Thomas into the air, or rotate a dial that spins Thomas around in a rotating pod.
With railroad switches located at intervals along the track, kids can send Thomas along one of two routes into the steamworks. The flip of a switch will send Thomas out of the steamworks and around the track again. Otherwise, Thomas remains in the rotating pod, where kids can slide the crane into position, and then lower the claws to grasp and lift Thomas into the air. Other options include rotating Thomas with the spinner dial or turning on the repair tool to generate flashing lights and sound.
Reroute to the Sodor Steamworks for Exciting Repairs
Because younger children may initially find it difficult to operate the crane or spin the rotating pod on their own, helpful instructions for play are included. Adults may want to demonstrate how to slide the crane into position and engage the claw to lift or drop Thomas.
In order for Thomas to make a complete loop around the track, the rotating pod must be manually positioned in its proper place, and a switch must be disengaged. It may take children a few tries before they are able to send Thomas smoothly in and out of the pod, but with a little help from adults, kids will love their dual role as conductor and repair specialist.
The Thomas and Friends Train Set measures 24 x 15 (W x D) inches and works best on hard surfaces. Adults will want to assist with assembly, which takes approximately 30 minutes with the help of illustrated instructions. While the repair tool comes with batteries already installed, adults will need to help install the train's one double AA battery (not included).
What's in the Box

This review is from: Thomas and Friends Spin & Fix Thomas (Toy)
I bought this toy for my son. He is 3 years old and absolutely loves it. I think the first reviewer had a defective one because our claw works great. The repair tool is a key part of the set. That is what you use to fix Thomas! This is a great addition to our Thomas collection.

This review is from: Thomas and Friends Spin & Fix Thomas (Toy)
It looks nice, but the 'claw' doesn't grab or release very well, making for a lot of frustrated cries
for help from my child. I may have a lemon, dunno. There is also a noise-making tool to 'fix' the train that gets pretty obnoxious. With Thomas toys simpler is better, IMO.

A very frustrating toy for my four year old,
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Thomas and Friends Spin & Fix Thomas (Toy)
This was a birthday gift for my son. He was so excited to get it and help set it up. However, like a lot of toys, the commercial we saw on the DVD was way more cool than the actual toy. The grabber is difficult to operate and the motion is repetitive so it gets boring really fast. My older son can help fix the toy when it gets stuck, but he doesn't like Thomas much any more so it is useless for the age group it is intended for.
