Toys and Games Reviews of Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - A Day at The Works SetCustomer Review: Granddaughters Joy Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my granddaughter who is 19 months old. She can't leave it alone. The other toys in the house have lost their allure and the trains occupy the bulk of her play time. They are well made, provide her with motor skills improvement opportunities and she loves them. The down side (yes we're indulgent) is that it has led to buying other trains, Thomas & Friends DVD's and books. This is a great starter set and is really all she needs. More track and buildings might be needed when she gets older but she has yet to tire of any of it in the last month and a half. Parents, grandparents, friends, this is a toy that will stand the test of time and worth every penny.
Customer Review: Worth every penny Summary: 5 Stars
This set is worth every penny - it is heirloom quality and will be treasured for years to come. So nice to have quality wooden toys instead of plastic junk.
I'm in Canada and even with exchange (which is about par these days) and international shipping, this order still came in $75 cheaper than retail here. The only downside - they've included another Thomas train. If you're investing in a set like this, you've likely already got a Thomas; would have been nice to have a different train.
Customer Review: Grossly overpriced low quality Summary: 2 Stars
When I buy several pieces of wood for a hundred bucks I expect it to be of top quality. Unfortunately, not the case here.
Tracks do not fit together tightly creating gaps and bumps that cause trains to tip over. Ascents and descents are too steep for trains with carts to stay on rails. Figures and structures are very primitive with dull prints on the sides. Would not recommend it.
Customer Review: A day at the works Summary: 4 Stars
Please note that the playmat is a mat and not a board so you will need a hard surface to put your trainset on.
Customer Review: Thomas track Summary: 4 Stars
The tracks are overall good, except part of the tracks with the hill doesn't stay together.
