Thomas & Friends Trains & Cranes Super Tower, motorized train and track set for preschool kids ages 3 years and up

This was the best Christmas gift! At 5 years old, I wasn’t sure if my son was getting too big for a toy like this, but I’m glad I purchased it. Him and my 7 year old daughter have really enjoyed building and rearranging the tracks. This is extremely durable, connects well and is compatible with other Thomas the Train sets. The kids love the cranes and the rotating feature on the top. This is a great toy and I would highly recommend!

Letting you know this is BIG. We got this for Christmas and even 6 months later have had not a single complaint. Thomas is battery operated just so you are prepared to have spares on hand. But the battery lasts a decently long time. It's not overly loud which is always a bonus with kid's toys. It's a really fun track. All in all, this was such a hit and still continues to entertain often.

Fun and durable

This is the one you my sons always been consistent playing with, he’s 3 and very much in love with this set. It keeps them busy, while being easy to understand and makes them use motor skills. It’s great constant usage, bad build sturdy. Buy this for any Thomas and friends lover in you life it’s a must!

very good

This playset arrived on schedule and was packaged to withstand most bumps during transit. There was no damage. It is a heavy carton. But I wanted to pass along my two cents - in case it helps someone who has decided yet to purchase it.Size: Forget measurements: Take a good look at your couch. The playset is about or is as high as the back of your couch. The width: If you have wide cushions on your couch, then you have a good idea of how wide this playset is. Depth: AGAIN, use the cushion on your couch to image the depth. In short, the finished piece takes up a bit of room, but It is easy to move after its built.Construction: The instructions-all 25 steps, are easy to follow. The first dozen or so calls on you to attach small Philips screws which hold the base together. There are 19 screws-this takes the most time. Assume it will take an hour or so if you are doing this part manually. Note they usually give you one extra screw.Once the base is screwed together, the rest snaps into place. Oh, be sure to attach the decals before assembly.Playing. Once you put the batteries (purchase separately) in the engine. Test out the playset.You will notice two things. No drawbacks-just something to keep in mind.First: The bridge is only long enough for an engine and one other car or attachment. I mention this because many Thomas engines have two or three additional cars attached to the engine. While these will run on the track- you may have a problem with the hand-operated swing bridge. You WILL have an issue at the base-unless you have another set of tracks attached -so the train can travel that instead of continuing up the other side of the tower.Again, I mention this because my grandson's trains have at least three cars attached to the engine most of the time.Price: I have seen this playset priced at $100.00. I paid less here and I noticed that it is currently $5.00 cheaper than what I paid a short time ago.Value: My grandson's eyes grew bigger than the playset when he first saw it. He likes it and we of course added a few our the older sets we have to it. So it takes up most of our family room floor.The whole point of this review is to point out the size of this playset. The fact that the train goes up and down and around the tracks automatically is nice. There are release levers on the two main curves that stop the train so the person playing, has time to adjust the bridge above or the roundhouse bridge below by hand. Then a flip of the switch and the train moves on down the track.

Definitely worth the price! Very well made and relatively easy to assemble! Provides hours of play and is very much enjoyed by my 4 year old grandson

Kept my grandchildren happy for ages
