Holtzclaw Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:15:50 +0000 http://thomasandfriendsonline.com/thomas-friends-wooden-railway-down-by-the-docks-set#comment-457 My 3-yr. old grandson loves everything "Thomas"...knows the names of all the engines, etc. He has the other 2 types of Thomas railways at his house so I decided to go with the wooden ones for "Grammy's House". A big hit on Christmas morning and everytime he comes over. This set is especially nice because it includes other characters like "cranky the crane". It was easy to set up....I have only one tiny complaint. I do not have a train table so it's set up on a board on the floor. The plastic play mat slips around and doesn't want to lie flat yet. It would be so much better if the company would put it on a monopoly type board that folds and could open up instead of the plastic mat. It would "stay-put" and be much more functional.

DeSpain Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:25:16 +0000 http://thomasandfriendsonline.com/thomas-friends-wooden-railway-down-by-the-docks-set#comment-456 I'm very pleased with this purchase. My 2-yr-old grandson is obsessed with Thomas & "choo-choos" and he loves this. It's durable enough for a pre-schooler with enough different items (ship, "Cranky," the bridge, hills)to keep play interesting. The item was well-packed when shipped, so no problems with returns and replacements. Rating: 5 / 5 I’m very pleased with this purchase.

The greatest disappointment was the playmat. It is plastic over fabric. The fold creases have still not come out of it and about a week after we set it up, all the corners started rolling up. The fold creases made it hard to initially keep the train track together (and of course, he's 2 1/2, so he wanted to play immediately!). The only way to make the playmat usable that we can come up with is to glue it down to piece of heavy duty cardboard or plywood. I think my husband is going to make a custom train table for the playmat, but that portion of the set definitely did not live up to expectations and was a major reason we purchased this set.
