This review is from: 100 Piece Bulk Wooden Train Track Compatible with Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway System (Toy)
Other than the lack of any packaging (just 100 tracks dumped in a shipping box with no branding, labels, manufacturer's name, etc.), the wooden tracks get the job done. A bit rougher hewn than the expensive store-bought tracks and a very small handful of duds, but the vast majority of pieces are quite good. Since these have the "ball" style connectors, the pieces ALWAYS fit together but the side effect is that the fit isn't always the tightest. I prefer this style since there's nothing more annoying that the carved connectors that are slightly off-size and are difficult to slide together (especially for small hands). I highly recommend this set as a cost-effective and quality way to expand your train track set -- my daughter has never enjoyed her trains more than she does now that we have lots more fun tracks to ride on.

Cheap, but cheap, January 18, 2010

This review is from: 100 Piece Bulk Wooden Train Track Compatible with Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway System (Toy)
Our experience was identical to J. Paris. The track is shipped in a simple brown box. Most of the pieces fit, some have to be forced. At least 10 pegs have fallen out in the three weeks we've had them.
<edited 3/2/10>
Three months later, at least half the pieces lost pegs and I expect the rest to follow. Not worth it.

This review is from: 100 Piece Bulk Wooden Train Track Compatible with Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway System (Toy)
I ordered this 100pc. wooden track set for my son this Christmas to coordinate with his Thomas the Tank Engine stuff. For the most part, the tracks do work well with the name brand ones. Sometimes the holes or pegs are too big or small and lead to frustration in my 3yo engineer. In addition, some of the pegs have fallen out already (about 10, 1 mo later). I'm sure they can be fixed with some wood glue though. I was surprised that the tracks were mailed in just the one box, no packaging, no bag and no picture of what was inside. I suppose that's good for the environment, right? Overall, he's having a great time playing with them and loves the number and variety of tracks that came in the set.
