4.0 out of 5 stars A fun addition to a Thomas set, January 30, 2011

This review is from: Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Deluxe Water Tower (Toy)

As we build my 3 year old's Thomas set, we look for interactive elements. He's had the Roundhouse for about two weeks and he absolutely loves it, parking his wooden engines there to sleep. We saw this Deluxe Water Tower and thought it might be another nice addition, more fun than the regular water tower due to the lights, sounds, and action.

The water tower is a combination of wood and plastic and the spigot is plastic. The "water" is a plastic lit plastic interior piece that goes up and down as you move the spigot around. At the same time it makes water and train sounds and lights up when the tower is full. It's cute.

My son now stops the engines to fill up with water and turns the spigot around. One thing I like that is different from other water towers is that the spigot doesn't lower and raise, it swivels. I've seen these other water towers have problems with the water spigot arm falling and getting in the way of the trains coming through. With this one, if the spigot is turned over the track, my son can still just whoosh the engine through, pushing it aside as he goes. And he tends to do a lot of whooshing.

You hear sqeeking valves water flow through pipe and see blue plastic that lights up and looks like water flowing out of and into tank. The magnetic track makes it easy to remove tower for batteries etc. without disturbing layout and put it back just like it was.
