Editorial Review
Getting young children interested in toy trains is a wonderful way to teach as well as to have a lot of fun. By playing with train sets, young minds learn how to fit things together, how transportation works, how cities and communities are created, all the while enhancing their imagination through pretend play. This sizable and table kit features a smooth, easy to clean melamine surface on the top with convenient storage compartment underneath. The 83-piece train set sports a wide variety of train cars plus buses, police cars, dump trucks, and other vehicles to operate on the pieces of road, which are included in addition to the track. Filling stations, gates, buildings, bridges, and other modular components add to the magic. Since all the pieces fit together so handily, young train enthusiasts can spend hours designing their own sprawling networks and configurations. We liked how complete this set is and how handily it all stores when playtime is done. Compatible with Thomas the Tank Engine and Brio train sets. --Charlie Williams |

 My 2yo's favorite toy, Apr 20, 2023
We got my son this set after many meltdowns when we would leave toy and model stores. He usually played with Thomas but it was just too expensive. When we found this one hidden behind a bin, we knew we had to get it. However, we lost the directions after one week but still had the picture from the box. I searched and searched for directions online about how to put the tracks back together - but couldn't find any. Using the picture and my memmory - this is what I came up with. I don't know if its right - but it works. There are a total of 28 pieces.
4 short curves; 8 long curves
2 short, solid rams; 2 long ramps
2 switches; one rail road crossing (with flashing lights and sound)
2 short, straight; 4 medimum straight
2 long, straight; one overpass
Start with the cirle that goes over the lake. Place the switch on the long side near the lake, large ramp (up and on the red things), long curve,(these connect on the second red thing) long curve,(connecting large red things)large ramp, short curve long curve, small ramp (up), overpass, small ramp (down), medimum strait, medimum straigt, short curve, switch, long straight, long curve, long curve, short straight, short straight. You are now back to the switch you placed first and will begin with the inside circle. long curve, rail road crossing, long straight, short curve, short curve, medium straight, medimum striaght. You are now back to the second switch. Now your kids can take it apart again.

After pricing train tables for the last month I am so happy to have found this one. I put it together myself in less than a half hour. The price was great and it came with a bonus set of train pieces.

 Good Toy at a Good Price, Mar 21, 2023
We bought the train set for our two year old daughter and she loves it. She had always played with the sets at the book store and the one that is set up at Toys-R-Us. It was easy to assemble and seems to be made from quality material. I believe it would be best though to do what the stores do and mount the track to the table as it does slide around and come apart easily.

Great Set for the Price, Mar 7, 2023
My 3-year old son LOVES this train set. He even uses his Hot Wheels cars on it (he'll line them up so they take up the entire track). We've had it since Christmas, 2004 (it's now March, 2005) and he's still playing with it. And the quality is fairly good, it looks nice enough to keep it in our living room (we intended to put it in his bedroom after Christmas, but it's never made it there).

Great toy, but don't lose instructions., Mar 1, 2023
My son loves this table, but I unfortunately lost the instructions on how to set up the track and have been totally unable to contact anyone to help me find new ones. It doesn't seem like it ought to be so complicated that an adult couldn't put it together by memory, but, alas, I have been unable to do so. So, until I get my engineering degree, we'll have to wing it. Not as cool to make something up yourself, but what can you do? Otherwise, before we lost the directions, the toy was great.
