Bertie is nice. He has no magnetic pieces so he won't hook to other things. Nice 16month old tries to use him on the train track which does work but he wasn't really meant for that and can be hard to push on the track.

Bertie is nice to have but my son barely plays with it. It won't attach to anything else, no magnets. Like another review says, it doesn't go well on the tracks, even the the road side of the dual purpose tracks.

Now you can own Bertie the bus, Thomas' loyal friend who has always been there to help. Thomas first met Bertie when he got stuck in the snow. Terence came to rescue Thomas and Bertie came to pick up Thomas' passengers. The next time Thomas and Bertie met, Bertie challenged Thomas to a race. If you haven't seen that story, I will not tell you who won, but you can find that story on a lot of Thomas tapes. The only bad thing about this toy is that it doesn't have any magnets or anything but I guess your child will just have to use his/her imagination.

My son is in love with trains. Thomas is his favorite show by far, but he'll watch anything with trains, even documentaries. And one of his favorite stories is the race between Thomas and Bertie. So we got him this for Christmas. He loves it. He has a little train mat with tracks and stations on it, so he plays and plays. If you have a Thomas fan, this is sure to be a winner.

We recently purchased a road expansion pack for my son's Thomas train layout and Bertie was included. He's got bright red paint and a pleasant smile, and his road expansion set makes a nice addition to the train set. My son has several of the Thomas vehicles and they provide him with hours of fun play. Purchase Bertie or any of the other fine Thomas products for your children. They will definitely have hours of fun playing with them.

My son loves this little bus. It is well made and a charming wooden toy. It is a nice addition to the Thomas the Tank Engine set (wood not dye-cast).

My son got this from his Aunt, along with a Thomas wooden rail set. Not sure if the toy was modified since some of the earlier reviews, but there is a metal square on the back end of the bus which the magnetic trains can attach to. It is a little larger than the other trains in the set which makes it a little harder to move on the tracks, but I find it working as long as it's set up on the hardwood floor (as opposed to the rug). My only small concern is that the battery already died after just a few days, but my son was playing with it constantly. Also, I had to move the couch twice to fetch it out. But he loves the bus, loves the train set, loves Thomas. Good gift!

Bertie the Bus was purchased for my grandson (2 years old) and he loves Thomas the Train characters. The bus is durable and fun for him to play with so we anticipate lots of fun hours for him to play.

Our son is 2 1/2 and enjoys all of his Thomas Wooden Railway toys. Bertie The Bus is of the same quality construction as the rest of the available pieces. Purchasing via Amazon was a bit less expensive than big box retail. It arrived early and in perfect condition.

This was for my son to add to his railway and it is very durable and lots of fun. He brings it close when he watches Thomas on TV.
Great toy!
