Fun for boys AND girls

My girls ages 4 and almost 2 absolutely love their "take along thomas". We had a 2 1/2 hour flight and needed new entertainment. I ordered one for each of them and they loved playing with Thomas on the lap trays on the airplane. My 4 year old requests to bring Thomas out to dinner to play while she waits for her food and my 2 year old plays with Thomas while we wait for the 4 year old to finish dance class. It is a kid magnet where ever we go and all enjoy it tremendously. I gave it 4 stars because it is difficult for the little ones to wind Thomas without help and our train station has already lost part of its peg that holds it to the board, but the kids push Thomas instead of winding it up and the station stays OK even with just one peg, instead of 2. I highly recommend this toy for every Thomas fan out there. Inside the case there is even room to add a couple more small toys. My daughter has added a couple small dinosaurs that she insists also live on Sodor with Thomas.

What a great Idea!!!

Both my boys are truely Thomas lovers. Everything is Thomas the Tank Engine. My children love this toy. We have two of them and I have purchased two additional ones for friends and family. This toy is compact, great for small children and I loved that the detachable pieces fit into the carrying case. We have taken these into restaurants, on vacation etc... It is great.

Perfect "pocket" toy

This toy has been a lifesaver - always ready to go (the green plastic base doubles as a carrying case and everything fits inside), this is the toy that I grab in a hurry. It has been along with us to countless hospital waiting rooms, doctor's offices, long trips in the car, etc. etc. My son never seems to tire of it. Our Thomas doesn't wind up so well anymore, my son perfers to push him. We paid less than ten bucks for ours and it was well worth it.
