Toys and Games Reviews of Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Water Tower Figure 8 Set
Customer Review: Good starter set , but watch compatibility
Summary: 4 Stars
My kids, 5 and almost 2 1/2, love this set, which they've had about 2 weeks. The water tower is cute, the "water level" feature in it is creative and has already led to a discussion of why some trains need water with my 5 year old.
It's easy to assemble, seems fairly durable, although a couple of the connectors have small chips already. This set is EXCELLENT for developing motor skills, spacial skills, and problem solving as I anticipate they will eventually start creating their own configurations when we get more track.
My biggest complain is related to the bridge. It falls off super easily, and not all trains fit under it, especially from the supposedly compatible "Early Engineers" line which is made by the same manufacturer. (Maybe they just meant the tracks will connect). Thankfully, the 2 year old seems to be figuring out how to put it back on himself instead of crying for me to fix it every 3 minutes.
I also purchased the Rock and Roll Quarry set, which DID in fact connect to these tracks, but as I stated in another reviewThomas and Friends Wooden Railway - Early Engineers Rock N Roll Quarry Set, even though the tracks connect, the train cannot roll smoothly between this original track and the poorly designed accessory.... the direction of that track just doesn't do what it's supposed to do, so you actually waste the wooden tracks connecting to the Quarry add-on.
The talking "Take Along" trains by Fisher Price are significantly smaller, they sort of work on this track, but derail easily because only one side fits in the wheel wells.
In summary- good basic set, just be careful getting accessories to make sure they truly are compatible or work the way they are supposed to.
****
Sidenote: This was the first item out of my final Christmas order from Amazon to arrive. Amazon did well.

Description of Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Water Tower Figure 8 Set
Introduce a young engineer to Thomas and Friends, or add to a Thomas fan's collection with this 25-piece wooden train set. The unique water tower gives Thomas and his hard-working Friends a place to relax and re-fill their water supply. Set includes a stone bridge, water tower and cargo car along with Thomas, Sir Tophatt and more. Measures 16"L x 5"W x 9"H.Little conductors will have loads of fun with this high-quality figure-eight railroad set from Thomas & Friends. Made of wood, the track features an elevated bridge in the center and a water tower where Thomas can re-fuel; the "water" rises and falls with flicks of the spout. Sir Topham Hatt and a red cargo car keep Thomas company. Other items in the 25-piece set include a railroad-crossing sign, a stop sign, and a tree. The instructions clearly diagram how to assemble the track. The box has a handle and makes a good carrying case. --Andy Boynton
