Wheee!

We have two of these sets to go with our larger geotrax collection, and have made elements up to 4 units high. At first I assumed they'd be most fun with the elevated structures like the clock or the mountain, but actually these are a lot of fun all by themselves. Other than the ramps, the green elevated track can be used either elevated or in place of regular track on flat ground. These kits thoughtfully include some half-length straight pieces which give you many more options - for example, now you can use both arms of the 90-degree cross pieces that come with some of the other sets. And I'm impressed with the design - even when we make a 4-ramp roller-coastereque descent, the train still stays on the track if you use the guardrails on the curves.

Self correcting track and durable (and thoughtful design)

This is our first purchase of GeoTrax products. We bought it for our 2 yr old son. He has learned to use the IR remote quickly. The oval track can be used with or without the elevation. This is product is track only. We also bought an the scenic engine and cars (an additional pkg). Trains can work on "toddler power" i.e. being hand pushed or via the battery operated remote for both on and off the track. We LOVE the self correcting track which puts the engine AND cars back aligned and on track. This is especially helpful for our toddler's determination to do things all by himself. There also seems to be a battery saver timer that engages after a several minutes of lack of interaction or inactivity. We will be buying more GeoTrax products.

Elevation Series a must for Geotrax set!

This is a must if you have the Geotrax starter set. My son received the basic Tracktown Railway at 2 1/2 and we immediately went out and bought him elevation track packs. Adults have to set the layout up, and its a little bit trickier in 3 dimensions, but the elevation is what makes Geotrax way better than any other train set!
