This review is from: Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Up And Away Expansion Pack (Toy)
My grandson loves his Thomas track and he really likes "hills", so I thought this would be a good addition. Unfortunately there are a couple of big problems with this set.1. The slopes up to the next level are not gradual enough, so trains going up the hill will lift cars in the middle off the track; which then tip over and derail. 2. If you stack the risers, the clearance isn't quite enough for an engine coming up the lower hill to not hit its funnel, or roof of its cab, on the ceiling of the "tunnel", where it then gets stuck. So the risers should be a bit taller and the slopes a bit more gradual before this would be a really nice addition to your Thomas track.

not enough parts,
By Skredberry (Miami Township, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Up And Away Expansion Pack (Toy)
This set would be nice if it came with more risers. Immediately, I had to run out to purchase more risers to create the elevated levels. It is fine on a train table if you have enough curves and risers to keep it going. We also have the Nilo table that allows you to cantilever the track off the edge of the table, but being that my son is only 2 1/2, that's a concept better saved for next year. You probably need at least 4 additional risers b/c you need to have a riser at each track link for support. I ended up running out the same day for risers, which I could only find Brio, which are slightly shorter than the Thomas risers and creates some instability. You're only limited by your creativity and when you come up with a new idea, unfortunately, it also means purchasing more track parts.

We started with a basic generic wooden train set and have been adding accessories over time. This is one of the better ones we have bought. I was going to just get the stacking risers but this a a better value for your money. When building your layout though, I would start with this piece and build off from it to better incorporate it.
