Product Description

From the Manufacturer

At the Mountain Overpass, roadway vehicles climb over the mountain bridge and trains pass through the tunnel. This exciting road and rail overpass features Thomas & Friends rail and road sounds - all activated by passing vehicles! Comes with 2 pieces of Ascending Road and 2 road ramps.

Product Description

New adventures are waiting around every bend with Thomas and Friends Roadway Systems sets. Designed to grow along with kids' increasing skills, this quality line of toys offers years of enjoyable and imaginative play.

It takes more than trains to keep the Island of Sodor humming. Complete Sodor's transport system with the colorful stone-lined Mountain Tunnel Overpass set. Move engines over the bridge and under the tunnel. As Percy and Butch (sold separately) climb up this mountainous overpass, you'll "magically" activate realistic railway sounds. Requires 2 "AA" batteries (included).

5.0 out of 5 stars My Son Wanted This For Months!, October 2, 2004

My son first spotted the Mountain Overpass at a Barnes and Noble earlier this year. At $40.00 a pop, we told him he'd have to wait until his birthday (September) or Christmas to receive it.

Every once in awhile, I'd ask him what he wanted for his birthday just to see if he remembered the item...and by golly, he did!

The neatest thing about this Mountain Overpass is that the magnets on the train trigger sound effects. Trains and vehicles going *under* the tunnel trigger 3 different sets of sounds, while those going *over* the tunnel trigger another 3 sets of sounds (6 total). Of course, a child can activate the sounds by simply pushing a red button, but it's neat to see the delight on their faces when the train movement *itself* triggers the sound.

The Mountain Overpass is quite heavy and sturday, and also comes with 2 wooden extensions which connect to other wooden railway tracks.

My son has been playing with his Mountain Overpass ever since he received it for his birthday last week, and I know he has many more hours of fun ahead of him with this interactive sound adventure!

this is a wonderful addition to a child's thomas train set - the sounds are not annoying like other toys - it is very durable (it has been thrown many times by my younger toddler) - and it isn't big and bulky so it doesn't take up much room on the train table.

Zackaree just got this for his 4th birthday and I have to say, it's a toss up between him and his 20 month old brother as to which likes it more. Noah, within 5 minutes had totally mastered all the sounds and was in train heaven! This is a toy that will be a hit in any house, no matter how big the kid is!
