"Thomas Take Along Engine Shed"
We were so excited to recieve the take along engine shed as Adam is a big Thomas fan and Hannah likes anything trains. When the set arrived it looked great and is compact enough to be able to carry about to grandparents house etc. The track fits together easily and there is enough room within the shed to store up to 4 trains. It is a nice little set that doesnt take up too much room and as an added bonus it can be added to.
My only issue with the set is the sliding bit that starts the track and slides in to keep doors closed and engines stored. Both myself and Adam have caught the skin of our hands in this when closing it and Adam[4] struggles to open it fully himself while Hannah[2] is not able to at all.I dont know if ours is particularly stiff but it is a negative of the product.

"Thomas & Toby Set"
Fantastic and very well made.
Ruby and Alex nearly exploded with excitement when this arrived :-)
The track was very easily made into a figure of 8 and my 7 year old can make it up without instructions in seconds.
The set inculed Thomas, Toby and 3 wooden figures and also a fab story book.
The wooden pieces are very well made and strong, if they can survive my kids fighting over them and throwing then in rage then its a big + lol.
From the day they arrived its been played with every day and looks like santa will be buying add on sets.

"Thomas Take Along Engine Shed"
Charlie loves Thomas so I knew he would love this!
You receive a Thomas engine with the set and enough track to go around in a loop. There is a turntable too.
There are 4 engine sheds with enough room for about 6 engines in them. The doors are a little stiff to open but i'm sure they will get easier as they are used more.
The track all stores away in the roof of the shed and there is a little carry handle to take it wherever you go.
We have other Take Along sets and they all fit together nicely.
The engines in the range are magnetic like the old brio type.
A great set to use alone or with the other sets in the range.

"THOMAS & TOBY SET"
Jaidyn couldn't wait to get it all out the box!! It comes with enough track to make a decent sized figure of 8 track, Thomas, Toby & Henrietta and three people (including the fat controller). It also comes with a story book, which adds another dimension as you can act out the story as you play.
The track instructions were easy to follow, although you do need to use them a few times before you know exactly where each piece goes. The straight track parts have a road on the other side, which is good if you plan to add more to the set. My son has a wooden railway and he always wants to use all the pieces which makes for a huge train track! At least with this set you can use some of the track as road so you don't need to have a huge amount of space to use a lot of track.
The quality of the pieces is high and with Jaidyn throwing it around in a temper tantrum it has yet to get any dents in the wood LOL!!
Overall I really like this set and I'm sure Jaidyn will get years of play out of it. Who knows she might be asking Santa for a few add-ons!!
