Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Diesel 10

All aboard the next stop along the learning curve . . . kids three and up will enjoy the magical adventures of the ever-popular Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway System.

Besides encouraging imagination, wooden train-play helps kids develop motor and social skills. The Thomas Wooden Railway System is designed to grow along with kids’ increasing skills, offering years of enjoyable play and new adventures around each and every bend. Straight from the movie, Thomas and the Magic Railroad, it’s Diesel 10! A renegade diesel engine on The Island of Sodor who is 10 out of 10 for brutal strength and devious deeds. He and his claw are out to destroy the harmony of Sir Topham Hatt’s Railway. For use with Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway System sets (sold separately).Good is always balanced with evil, and in the case of the movie Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Diesel 10 is a truly icky bad guy. Teamed with sidekicks Splatter and Dodge, Diesel 10 is a renegade engine on the Island of Sodor out to destroy the harmony of Sir Topham Hatt’s Railway. To intensify this train’s nastiness, Diesel 10–on a scale of 1 to 10–is rated 10 for devious deeds and brutal strength. Measuring 4.25 inches long, Diesel 10 has two sets of wheels that swivel, helping this extra-long train negotiate the tracks. Equipped with a mischievous expression, Diesel 10 is pea green and–just like in the movie–has a claw-like arm on top to help create havoc. As with

Tom Swift and His Electric Locomotive

“An electric locomotive that can make two miles a minute over a properly ballasted roadbed might not be an impossibility,” said Mr. Barton Swift ruminatively. “It is one of those things that are coming,” and he flashed his son, Tom Swift, a knowing smile. It had been a topic of conversation between them before the visitor from the West had been seated before the library fire and had sampled one of the elder Swift’s good cigars.

Life-Like Trains HO Scale Pacific Rails Electric Train Set Reviews

Review by Steve:

I bought this train set for my 7 year old son. He loves it. What a bargain! It is easy to set up, he actually did it. I am sure we will be adding to it soon. This is his first “Real Train Set”. The set was delivered in less than 48 hours of ordering!!!

Review by Jesse Wong:

I bought this because it was on special. My 4 year old son loves trains and I thought this would be great for him. When we got it, we quickly put the tracks together. The tracks snap on differently than other model tracks.

When we put the train set on the tracks, the train would ride right off the tracks in certain areas. I thought it was because I installed the tracks incorrectly, but I double checked it and all looked good. But the train kept on riding off the rails.

Luckily I already have a set of tracks from different purchase and used those instead. The train ran perfectly on those tracks. Because I only paid for the whole set, I’m not too upset over it.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Water Tower Figure 8 Set Reviews

Review by Allison D:

This is by far the best deal I’ve seen on a Thomas set. The water tower retails alone for .00 and the bridge for ! My son is absolutely wild about Thomas and the water tower and bridge are the two things he plays with the most. I am thrilled that they have combined them into a set along with track, and plan to give this as a gift to my nephew.

The water tower contains liquid that appears to “drain” when you lower the spout (this alone is worth hours of entertainment for a toddler). The bridge has 3 parts and is very easy for young hands to assemble. It’s reasonably stable, although the top piece is not held in place with anything other than gravity and can be knocked over accidentally. There is plenty of room underneath for trains and track. Some cheaper sets have bridges that are so low that the trains don’t fit underneath.

Thomas brand track is excellent quality and features indented “ties,” unlike less expensive versions. However, it’s fully compatible with Brio, Imaginarium, and several generic brands on the market. This set also includes a Thomas train and cargo car to start your Thomas collection (Watch out! It’s addicting). These would retail for about apiece if you bought them separately. If your child already has a Thomas train, don’t worry. To a 2 or 3 year old, two identical trains are more fun than one.

A simple figure-8 track layout is best for young children who are being introduced to wooden train sets for the first time. You can also rearrange the pieces to make a loop or simple circle. I highly recommend this set as a first train set for any boy or girl age 2 and up! A great companion is Thomas Wacky Track, which allows for a wider range of curve diameters, and reduces the frustration level of beginning engineers.

Review by C. Hashimoto:

I purchased this set and the Figure 8 Expansion Set for my son for Christmas 2005. He is just over 2 years old, and he loves Thomas the Tank Engine in particular, and all things train related in general, so this was a very easy decision to make. The quality of Learning Curve’s wooden track is very good; the pieces are made from hardwood, and are quite sturdy. While we have expanded using other generic tracks which are compatible with Brio/Thomas track, there is a noticeable difference in the quality.

I would offer one caveat. This set is very similar to the Conductor’s Figure 8 Set, which is typically offered for the same price. While the water tower that comes with this set is a pretty neat accessory, I think that the Conductor’s set offers a bit better value, as it comes with Thomas and two cars (Water Tower set only comes with one engine and one car), as well as an additional switch track and a conversion ramp. These offer a bit more flexibility in layout and play, especially since my son is not terribly interested in the water tower right now (though this may change when he gets older).
