If you are looking to purchase a Learning Curve Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway toy, don't buy from this seller. The item I received was shipped in a plastic baggy and bubble wrap and was clearly a poor imitation of the advertised toy. With a husband who imports from the Pacific Rim, I am VERY familiar with Chinese manufactured goods. This item bore all the hallmarks of a cheap, Chinese knock-off: missing/incorrect packaging, low quality materials and a lack of attention to detail, including failing to paint the front bumper red (as shown in the picture) and no sign of the Learning Curve ID #/trademark anywhere on the toy. Any parent should be concerned with painted goods from China given the chance that lead paint may be, and likely is, used on manufactured goods that are not quality tested by a parent company.

Upon receiving my return request in which I made clear that the item I received was a fake, the seller responded, "These wooden trains are factory overruns from 2004-2006. Diesel is difficult to get in retail packaging or not. We are happy to offer this to customers who need diesel in their railyard or to complete their collection." Uh-huh, sure they are. And, I'm sure they are happy to dupe customers with a price tag close to $[...]. Truly shameful and sad that others may not realize they have received such a pitiful imitation of the extremely high quality Learning Curve Wooden Railway brand.

Insult to injury, the item arrived 11 days late. On the good side, Amazon Prime will be shipping it back to the seller for free. Diesel is hard to find and I may not be able to get one for my child's collection. If you really want Diesel and are okay paying a ridiculous sum for an obvious fake that may not be safe for your child to handle, this item fits the bill.

This guy is so much fun to have for your little one's train set! Oh, the trouble he causes in the films and now, well, he's up to no good at your house too. The imagination Diesel stirs is a ton of fun and our little one is trying to make Diesel and "good boy" all the time instead of being bad. What a great addition to our set and I'm so very glad that we finally found one here on amazon. Highly recommend!

All the trains in this collection are wonderfull.
They are really well made and have magnets so they can join onto the other trains. My son loves his train set and loves to watch them go.
A must buy for boys!
