So cute and my favorite gift to give
I have given this toy many times as gift to a toddler. My little girls (5 years and 8 years) still love to play with this toy. My friends love the fact that the toy sturdy and takes a beating from their toddlers. It is made of wood and has a quality handmade feel to it. It is an easy gift to give!

Great Item!!!finally a pull toy that is kid sized
Purchased for my grand daughter...she loves it takes it everywhere.Well made and very stable and she loves the wiggle action.

Cute BUTcan't be pulled!!!
This Dog is so cute.I bought it for my 2 year old and 4 year old daughters.Yes, his tail does wag; however, Spotty falls over whenever making any type of turn.My daughters love this toy and want to pull it through the house, but become very frustrated when he falls over.It seems as if his front paws and back paws are very flexible, allowing him to fall over too easily.I am very disappointed in this toy.When I was purchasing it, I read all of the hype about toy awards and thought Spotty would be great.He's not!!!! ...

This bright green toy will bring a smile to any little train fan's face. Based on the award-winning PBS television series Shining Time Station by the Rev. W. Awdry, the Thomas the Tank train set is a perfect child's train set. Duck's job is setting cars in the yard and pulling small freight. Each wooden vehicle in the series has a different name, character, and face. Magnetic bumpers make linking up easy. Friendly characters engage kids in hours of imaginary play. Designed to encourage new motor and cognitive skills. --Sandy Hirsch ... Read more

One of the old standby's...
If you have the Thomas series wooden railway series, then by all means, be sure you get Duck.He's just one of the older trains, and is almost in each and every video.He doesn't usually have a large role, but he's a kind and good friend to all the engines.This guy gets taken to bed in our house and also, everywhere we go.It's pretty funny listening to all the role playing going on in the carseat with this guy and hey, he can even dance to the Wiggles!These trains definitely develop imagination and fine motor skills, but they also become friends.These wooden guys are VERY durable too.They don't chip like you'd think they would when dropped onto the floor.We plan on keeping our wooden train series and interconnecting them with a "real" train set when our little one gets older.Also, don't forget to check out the HO series of Thomas here on amazon.I didn't know they existed and what a neat way to introduce your little one to the fascinating world of trains.Something they can definitely grow up with and use for quite some time.Highly recommend Duck!

A great addition to your set
This toy is really durable. My sister threw it down our stairs a buch of times and it didn't even get a scratch. This is well worth the money and a great addition to anyone's collection.

Duck the great

Editorial Review

Duncan is a plain-vanilla type of train engine. He once worked in a factory and has a straightforward way of speaking. That, combined with his affection for rock & roll, has potential to get him into trouble. This simple yellow-and-black 3-inch wood engine brings to mind the proverbial worker bee. Based on the popular Thomas the Tank Engine series by Reverend W. Awdry and the PBS television show Shining Time Station, the wooden railway system is compatible with other magnetic train sets. You can reenact all the exciting stories in the series or make up new ones. Thomas fans won't want to miss out on any of these fun, well-built railway characters. --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

Great toy for Thomas Lovers
My 21 month son is all about Thomas the Train. He just loves the stories, toys and music from it. Its a refreshing change from some of the other "boys toys" out there. Its pleasant not and not annoying in any manner, for adults. And kids just love the entire line. The toys are sturdy and can withstand some rough play times. Highly recommend it and very worth the money.

A Great Buy
Duncan is one of the little engines but his train shows him just as big as Thomas or Percy. These are great for little kids becasue you pull the trains by yourself without the use of any batteries. Great but I wish these weren't so expensive.

the only toy played by my toddler for ever
I can only say the thomas tank engine series is the only one my toddler plays for ever and again and again for the last few years, and for the future year as well, I believe. It worths the expensive money. ... Read more

Trains are predictable things--most of the time. But every once in a while, a car might just jump track. Then it's time for the Breakdown Train! This sturdy olive-green wooden crane with a flatbed is on the job, ready to haul errant trains back on track. Magnets allow the 3-inch-long crane to pull a broken engine or car onto the flatbed. Based on the popular Thomas the Tank Engine tales by Reverend W. Awdry and the PBS television show Shining Time Station, the wooden railway system is compatible with other magnetic train sets.You can reenact all the exciting stories in the series or make up new ones.

Editorial Review

This cheery red and blue cloth toy is a depiction of Noah's fabled Ark, complete with a collection of miniature stuffed animals (arranged two by two, of course) and Noah himself, with his long white beard and shepherd's crook. At about 12 inches long and 10 inches tall, the SS Noah features two separate compartments--one in the roof and one in its side--into which the assorted zebras, giraffes, pigs, lions, geese, rabbits, crocodiles, hippos, and cows can go when the weather turns bad. (Assorted dogs, chickens, sheep, and other animals peer out from the windows.) When the 40 days and nights are over, the entire menagerie can ride on deck with Noah via a series of ingenious pockets that rise just above the waterline. This washable vessel, with a carrying handle on top, is an imaginative toy that's almost as enjoyable to cuddle as it is to play with. --John Longenbaugh ... Read more

Waste of Money
Received this as a gift and the animals were so small it became a choking hazard. I wound up not even letting my six month old play with the toy and eventually threw it away when my eldest lost all the animals. Now that I see how expensive the toys was.

Do NOT Buy
This toy was given to me as a gift- and at first I thought it was adorable.However, some of the toys are too small and a choking hazard.The worst thing is that the material is so cheap on the animals that as the baby chews them the color will come off in their mouth.Babies do love to chew these animals- my daughter loved chewing them- until I threw it away because of her mouth turning purple!Beware- it is a very expensive toy and your money would be much better spent elsewhere. Mommy of 2

Great toy and stuffed animals too.
This is a wonderful toy.It can be played with and cuddled too.It is also really cute.There are lots of things you can do with the many animals: match them, put them in the side pockets, roof pocket or under boat pocket. Or just play with them by themselves.When my son was younger he liked to chew on them.The boat and animals are very well made, I've even put a few through the wash.The company also offers a lifetime guarentee for free replacement animals if any are lost. ...

Push Along Thomas is a hybrid: he looks like a train but moveslike a car. Based on the character from the book and television seriesThomas the Tank Engine, this plastic locomotive measures 9inches long. Toddlers can practice walking by pushing the extendedhandle to move Thomas along. Fortunately, the long handle isdetachable, so prewalkers can roll him across the floor by gripping thehandle attached to the roof. Turn on the power switch, give the train agentle push, and hear a short, upbeat song. It requires threebutton-cell batteries to hear the music, but Push Along Thomas can be enjoyedwith or without electricity. --Lauren Bernard ... Read more

No Bubbles
My 2 year old son received this for a birthday gift and loved it at first, but there are very few bubbles that come out of it.After 10 minutes of pushing it around and only getting 5-10 bubbles every minute or so he got frustrated with it and has not played with it since.

Cute but Handle comes off too easily
This is a cute toy but the handle does come off too easily.My little boy walks but everytime he trys to push this toy the handle the handle comes off.He does like to just play with the thomas on the floor.You can proberbly find something better for the money.

Lasts for a long time!
My son received this toy for his birthday a year ago when he turned one.He was already walking very well (we didn't use it as a "walker") and he loved it.He is about to turn two and he has played with the Push Along Thomas everyday since he got it (both indoors and outside). It is very durable and still looks brand new! The red handle does come off easily but my son quickly learned how to put it back on by himself.Also, we have only had to change the batteries once.This toy is one of the best we have had so far. ...

Go Douglas
Douglas is a good engine and this one is a great buy for your money. The magnets work very well and they don't come apart in a second like some other toys do. Douglas would not be complete without his twin Donald. These toys are very durable and kids can play with them for hours.

Cool!
Kids think this toy is very cool.It's very enjoyable and it's durable.

It's pricy for the size but good enjoyment is something that no amount of money culd buy.

Direct From Merry Ol' Scotland!
Douglas is another in the fine line of Thomas the Tank Engine trains, and he upholds the tradition of fun, educational learning for children.Douglas has sleek black paint, a smiling face, and a large coal car that my son enjoys very much.Douglas has been an excellent addition to my son's Thomas collection.He is built strong for hours of use.Purchase Douglas or any of the fine Thomas trains.They are worth the money and your children will love them. ...

My 2 1/2year old son loves this bridge!
I've noticed my son's favorite Thomas pieces are the bridges.He plays with this bridge more than any of the others.He's still young so the up and down of the bridge is perfect for his age.We did have a problem with the bridge not staying on the risers, but we easily fixed it.We used superglue to glue the bridge to the risers.We didn't glue the ascending pieces so that we could change the layout if we wanted.Just position the risers in the middle of the connecting pieces of track and superglue.That way the track stays connected to the bridge.

My 2 year old son loves this covered bridge!
I hear what the first reviewer is saying about the covered bridge falling from the supports easily, however my son absolutely loves this bridge and plays with it constantly. He loves how the trains pass through the bridge, but you can still see them through the windows. If we get tired of setting it up on the supports over and over, we just set it up so it sits flat on the table and it's still alot of fun for him. I'm recommending this covered bridge because it's a simple, fun piece for your collection. No bells and whistles, just imagination, make this toy fun.

Amy
We recently started collecting the Thomas train items for our son.Just about everything we have purchased so far has been super, however this bridge is not the greatest.The problem is that the covered bridge and connecting track will not stay on the risers. The slightest bump and the track collapses.Hope this was helpful. ... Read more

There's more than one way to make a milkshake. The Tidmouth Milk Tanker carts gallons of the white stuff over hill and dale, supplying the Island of Sodor with all the Vitamin D it needs! This 3-inch white train car is made of sturdy wood with working plastic wheels. Based on the popular Thomas the Tank Engine Railway Series by Reverend W. Awdry and the Shining Times PBS television show, the wooden railway system is compatible with other magnetic train sets. Reenact all the exciting stories in the series, or make up new ones.

Milkshakes, Sodor-Style
Most people are well aware of the Thomas & Friends set well before you need to read a review.Suffice to say that the Milk Tanker is of the same high quality construction as the vast majority of other engines and cars available, and they last forever.But here are two reasons to buy this particular car:

1.Good price here on Amazon (...).

2.This particular car is one that few people have, so it sticks out in kid's minds.It's unusual and every child that has come over to play with my son always says, "wow!" and wants to play with the milk tanker.

So go ahead and and this car to your set -- it's a good one!

Good for your other trains to pull
This tanker is good for kids who like to connect all of their trains. It also is fun to pull a train over the tracks. I like to use this one with the Fuel and Tar tankers because there all the same shape. I got this train eight years ago and it still works perfectly and it's in good condition. A great buy for your money.

Milk
This toy is great for kids!Also it's very durable.

Not only that, but it inspires them to drink milk. I was shocked right after I gave them this toy for the first time when they ASKED for milk...they hate milk!

So if you have milk problems with your kids, this is a must! ... Read more

Mike the Engine is here to chug along the track--all 3 inches of him, with his 2-inch coal carright behind. Using the same magnetic system as the other Thomas the Tank Engine trains, Mike can linkup with other train friends, or go on a solo journey. His friendly face, his red and black body, and his sturdyplastic wheels make him a great toy for both younger and older children. Mike the Engine will mix withany of the Thomas the Tank Engine track sets.--Rob Lightner ... Read more

Crissy's Review
I love the trains to the Thomas the Train set.They are small enough for small hands to move along the tracks, but not small enough to pose a choking hazard.Myeighteen month loves to play with this train because it is just his size.It's not to awkward for him to hold.

Simply Great Toys
My son loves all of the Thomas toys, we started his set a year ago and have kept building on to it.He still plays with his engines almost everyday.Great toys that really last and are worth the extra you pay.We recently bought a Tomica brand Thomas toy and I ended up returning it that night (something I have never done) as I was so dissapointed in the quality.

My son likes it
My 8 month old son likes this toy, but I have to watch him while he's playing with it because it will tip over as he tries to climb it. (It's recommended for 9 mos. and up) He loves the sounds. Especially the ones with the voice overs... yes... voice overs. There are a couple of "sound effects" where a person is voicing the sounds, like "chugga chugga chugga chugga...woooo hooooo". Those seem to be his favorite ones! He grins really big after the "woooohooo" part. The plane should spin freely and easily, but it doesn't. It's too tightly connected.The triggers on the side are easy to pull... my son's favorite part.

Just not that much to it...
We purchased this toy, as a whim, for my son's 2nd Christmas.Thankfully it was just a side present.With the traffic lights and train crossing signs we thought he would spend a bit more time with it than he does.I pull it out occasionally and show show him the colors on the lights (and use it as a traffic light when he gets on his trike) and he does, occasionally, play with the winding ramp.But since the 04 Xmas he's only wanted to play with it less than a dozen times.

This was a flop at our house.
I have 3 boys ages 4.5, 3 and 1 - this toy is just collecting dust. ... Read more

Super Building Toy
I just bought this toy for my 3 1/2 year old son.He loves it!The pieces are chunky so they are easy for him to hold on to.He loves taking it apart and putting it back together.I wish they would come out with the other Thomas trains!This toy is wonderful for hand/eye coordination.

Your little builder/engineer will love it!
My son (3 1/2) just received this as a Christmas present and it is a huge hit!There are 9 pieces (a number he can count to make sure he has all of them) and a "screwdriver." It's a pretty cool toy - the screws are attached and your child needs the screwdriver thingy to tighten them down or loosen them (makes a click sound when tight enough). Once all assembled, there is an on/off button on the bottom to have Thomas go!My son LOVES the fact that he can build it by himself as well as take it apart by himself.Wish there were more toys like this one! ...
