These are fun little toys for kids, and yes, I have bought my son a few wooden engines and related rail systems, but I can't help but wonder where the madness will stop. How many different railway products can they come up with? Take-Along, Wooden, motorized, etc. It's unreal. What's worse is the fact that a few people I know own almost every single train produced. Why? How many engines can a kid play with at once? And I will leave the pricing alone. That's another rant. Well, buy what you must. I just like to throw my un-asked for opinion around.

My son loves thomas, he pulls him along everywhere we go, his only complaint is that he doesnt have a tunnel that he can put thomas in..
Thomas is so much better for my son than his other battery operated toys, Nothing like a tried and true method of entertainment for young children like my son.
my son loves all his toys, but thomas is the one he keeps going back to for undisputed pleasure day in and day out, the smile on thomas' face really brings a smile to my childs.

This is the toy that can keep my children engaged for more than 30 minutes. Thomas and his friends wooden collection is by far the best of all the Thomas toys. It is durable and very effective. The Take Along toys are nice, too, but the magnets will not allow you to connect more than 2-3 cars at time. The magnet is just too weak. The track and accessories for the Take Along are kind of cheap. The battery operated plastic ones are nice, but the track that comes with them are simply horrible, especially the automobile track.
The wooden ones gives you durabilty, playability and connectivity. The track is very durable, and connects very well (even thought the Thomas brand is very expensive), and the connectivity with the magnets is far superior than the Take Along line (my son has connected 10+ trains without a single one coming off.
The collectibility of these things have really gone up in popularity, as well. The discontinued items are sold at auction for $40-$50 at times, and that is for one single train.
The only gripe I have is the cost. One wooden train is usually $10. YOu can get them free with a DVD for about that much (maybe a couple of dollars more ($12-$15). Larger trains, such as Gordan, Henry, et al, are even more. The Thomas track is very expensive, and generally hard to spend that much money for. You can get the Imaginarium brand (which makes the Thomas stuff), is considerably, but does not have the Thomas name. There are other knockoff brands (Ikea has one), but those are not usually compatible with the Thomas stuff.
My children like Thomas due to the personalities of all of the engines, and how they are brought to life in the dvds. The wooden Thomas just adds hands on fun for the kids, and if you don't mind spending a little extra, you will get a great product.

We have a 2+ year old who LOVES his Thomas the Tank stuff... and this engine is no exception. It is built well enough to handle being played with (by a 2 year old, no less) on a daily basis, carried around in a diaper bag (it's the perfect size restaurant toy), and has been dropped out of our car onto the driveway on more than one occasion and still is no worse for the wear. Highly recommended!
