 A cute gift set December 30, 2008
This gift set is really nice. Five cars, including Henrietta, provide lots of entertainment. Getting five cars when this item is on sale at Amazon is great as well. The little picture cards that came with the gift pack were somewhat useless to my toddler, but older collectors might find them interesting. I would buy this again.
 A box o' trains December 26, 2008
Not much to report on here. If you are a collector or have one of those kids that needs all the trains, this is a good set for you. Mine just likes trains and Grandma decided a good package made sense, so this one it was.
They all seem to work nicely and are in good condition. Other than that, they are what they are.

I think my two year old nephew liked it. Why does this review need to be so detailed?
Thomas vehicles a hit with toddler July 6, 2008

We saw this set had the hard to find engine Oliver... we had to have that for our son. He loves all the vehicles, and connects them in long lines. He doesn't understand the magnets, and gets confused sometimes with Henrietta, because she doesn't have a face to show which way to point her. Any car or engine with a face, my son (21 months) can line up correctly on either track or on a table. So, the coal car Fred is nice... something different from an engine, but has a face so he can couple them himself.
Getting 5 vehicles together is a great cost savings too. You get Oliver, Toby, Henrietta, Fred, and Bertie the bus. All have couplers on front and back except Bertie. He only has a coupler on the back. Toby and Henrietta have solid white roofs. I was concerned these would chip and mark like the Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway System: Toad we had gotten to go with the Oliver engine. So far, they don't have a mark on them, and they've been played with just as much. So, RC2 must have improved their white paint quality or something.
Have Autism child(ren)? June 15, 2008

Thomas and friend toys are in the top 10 choice for children with autism. It helps them with their hand and eye coordination. Parents have a hard time of finding information in order to help their children - so passing news along.
My son has enjoyed trains since 6 months to current. I tell his grandparents that for picking out presents - if they get a "Thomas and Friends" toy, it will be enjoyed and played with.
