Customer Rating: Summary: Great addition Comment: We started with a basic generic wooden train set and have been adding accessories over time. This is one of the better ones we have bought. I was going to just get the stacking risers but this a a better value for your money. When building your layout though, I would start with this piece and build off from it to better incorporate it. Customer Rating: Summary: The best railway toy ever Comment: My kids (4 years and 2 years old) love playing this toy. We bought the Thomas traing engine with the basic wood railway and now we are lovers of this toy. Really easy to use, durable and funny to play. This expansion pack adds great high ways and tunnels to the railway. Customer Rating: Summary: not enough parts Comment: This set would be nice if it came with more risers. Immediately, I had to run out to purchase more risers to create the elevated levels. It is fine on a train table if you have enough curves and risers to keep it going. We also have the Nilo table that allows you to cantilever the track off the edge of the table, but being that my son is only 2 1/2, that's a concept better saved for next year. You probably need at least 4 additional risers b/c you need to have a riser at each track link for support. I ended up running out the same day for risers, which I could only find Brio, which are slightly shorter than the Thomas risers and creates some instability. You're only limited by your creativity and when you come up with a new idea, unfortunately, it also means purchasing more track parts. Customer Rating: Summary: Not practical for the train table Comment: We found that this set when put together as a double decker like it is meant to be, is just too long for our train table. Luckily the stacking risers can be taken apart to make two seperate hills but that is not what we were hoping for.
Thomas & Friends travel up and down, over and under as little engineers add elevation and challenge to layouts with this deluxe expansion pack. Includes 13 pieces of track, 1 riser and a Builder's Guide that's filled with exciting layout ideas.
