Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Whiff is a cheery, little tank engine with a very special job: he collects rubbish! He has a look and smell all his own! Whiff doesn't care too much about appearance. He's splodgy green and brown: the result of being patched up and painted over without attention to detail or colour charts. He frequently puffs round the Island festooned with bits of rubbish that get stuck on his engine, as he biffs and bashes. None of this matters to Whiff. What matters to Whiff is getting his job done and getting it done well. He loves collecting rubbish and doesn't notice the turned up noses he passes along the way. You can't help but like Whiff. He?s a little engine with a big heart. And really, really useful!

5.0 out of 5 stars My son loves Whiff, August 19, 2008

This review is from: Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Whiff (Toy)

We watch Thomas once in a while and play with the wooden railway every day. My son saw the episode with Whiff and loved it. He finds Whiff hilarious (I am not really sure why--maybe the glasses and/or his voice)? He really loves Whiff; the only other tv character he really loves and interacts with is Dora the Explorer, and he likes Whiff just as much as Dora. The episode's message is a good one (Emily tries to avoid Whiff, whom she is supposed to help haul garbage, because the other engines make fun of him--and her by association--because he is a garbage train...then she realizes Whiff is her friend and apologizes for avoiding him). My son has only a few trains (they are quite pricey) and this is one that was a must for his small collection! These trains are really well made, they stand up to a lot of abuse, and they do a good job of promoting open-ended play.

My grandson is 2 years old and absolutely loves Thomas and Friends. Whiff is one of his favorite engines and he plays with it daily. Thomas and Friends toys are the best investment for little boys and will last for years and years.

This was a gift for a 2 year old, who happened to LOVE it! His mother said, my son, "plays with it with his other trains everyday. Thank you so much."
