Editorial Review

What child who doesn't love Thomas the Tank's friendly face? The Thomas Medium set is a great introduction--or addition--to Thomas the Tank's world. The set comes complete with a train station, a traffic light, a little greenery and even a drawbridge. This "unique motorized road and rail system" is compatible with all other Thomas the Tank engine sets so you can easily add additional tracks or collect all of Thomas the Tank's friends. --Andrea Linsky

The toy of the year.... Easy for our three year old granddaugher to construct the tracks, explore different configurations. The battery powered engine runs "forever" - on rugs and floors as well as the track. If only we could find more parts to develop a set that "grows" with her.

We started out with a basic starter set for our son who was just over two at the time and 8 months later it is still one of his favorites. We added a medium set and purchased serveral turnout sets and additional track, including an up and down set and a pack of piers. We also purchased another engine (Duck)to keep up with his enthusiasm. The Tomica sets and components are very durable and a good value. I think they leave wooden track sets in the dust. The engines and cars stay on the track better, and the layouts that can be built are more flexible. Our son mastered the setting up of the track and the operation of the engines very quickly. The engines can be run on battery power or pushed by hand, (theres a built in clutch that saves wear on the gears when the motor is not powering the trains). Overall, I dont think anything else can beat this system for this age group of children. I just hope Tomica expands this system further and adds some other items like more buildings, or a turntable.

I just bought this set for my 23 month old son. He LOVES it. The tracks are extremely easy to put together and take apart (to put away). The train stays on the track very well (some just seem to fall off easily if "bumped"). The train also runs on the floor. This is a great feature when you have an "over-eager" toddler who MUST pick the train up then can't get it back on the track himself.

I highly recommend this set. It's really entertaining.
