Product Description

Keep the Island of Sodor running smoothly with this motorized railway system. Help Thomas and Terence load and unload the logs and take them where they need to go. These two amicable engines are great friends, and love working side by side. Thomas eagerly waits to help Cranky and Terence scoop and carry the logs, then he picks them up and drops them off again. Set measures approximately 48" x 24." Requires 2 "AA" alkaline batteries (not included).

This review is from: Thomas at the Timberyard Set (Toy)

My 4-year-old son has a vast collection of Thomas stuff, but it's all the wooden railway. He saw this in a catalog and asked for it for his birthday. Given the inexpensive price (compared to the wooden railway elements), I went ahead and got it. It is SOOOO cool! With only 2 AA batteries (one in Thomas and one in Terrence), the set is totally automated. It's great fun to watch. DS loves to just watch it go around.

On the other hand, unlike the wooden railway, there's no way DS could put this thing together by himself. Maybe in a year or so...

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Alternative to Wooden System, December 27, 2003

The Thomas trains made by Tomy are a nice alternative to the wooden sets. The trains and tracks are made of plastic and are not interchangable with the wooden sets. The battery operated Tomy trains go fast compared to the battery operated wooden trains. The Terrence set has a number of cool features, but you'll want to expand the train track by buying some additional track. Unfortunately, Amazon only offers a limited number of items. You'll want to try some other on line stores to find additional track, switch tracks, tunnels, bridges, trains, etc. Overall, this set is a good value.

My 3 year old loves this Thomas because it not only goes around the track but has the center section that is unique where Thomas delivers and picks up the timber logs. I also bought one for my nephew who is 2 and loves Thomas. Kids at an early age are able to turn it on independently.
