Summary: Good suff, just like all the other Thomas trains
Comment: My 2 year old and 4 year old LOVE Thomas stuff and this train is no exception.

My only negative is that if kids really beat on them, drop them on the floor, scrape them etc (which kids tend to do) the paint chips of a little. But they're made with real wood, so I guess that's to be expected.

Summary: Duck the Great Western engine
Comment: If your child enjoys acting out the Thomas & Friends episodes, Duck is one of the more sensible engines. He is a big green tank engine with the GWR logo on the sides. He stands no nonsense from the engines and freight cars who try to boss him around, and does things his own way--the Great Western way. Unfortunately, sometimes the freight cars get the best of him, especially when they make him crash through a barber shop in "A Close Shave For Duck."

If you could use a sensible engine in your layout, then Duck is for you. Don't worry if he's accident-prone, though. You could always get an engine that will tow him back into place. Then, Duck will be ready to work the Great Western way again.

Summary: One of the old standby's...
Comment: 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!

Summary: A great addition to your set
Comment: 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.

Summary: Duck the great
Comment: The learning curve Thomas sets are among the best toy train sets I've seen. The toys are especially durable and well-made. Duck is a unique engine who has some prominent roles in some of the earlier, original Thomas stories. The Duck engine toy is a good addition to an existing Thomas train set.
