Thomas the Tank Engine toys, specifically the red James with coal car # 5, as this product depicts, have been recalled due to excessive levels of lead in the red paint. I would throw away this product, or any other red painted Thomas the Train product, until it is clear that the products in the pipeline are demonstrably lead free.

Our son was so excited to see James when he came out of the box. He plays with him every day. Thanks for the great service, shipping and price.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway Trains offer endless playtime for our Grandson. Mom, Dad, and both sets of Grandparents enjoy watching, playing, and helping him layout new track designs.

This was shipped in a timely manner and got exactly what I expected. If you order at least 3 engines, it’s worth paying the shipping and getting the discount vs. buying it at a local retail store.

This has been a great addition to my daughter’s Thomas collection. She enjoys the bright red paint, and easily recognizes James while watching the Thomas DVD’s.
Though it may seem odd to consider this an “educational” toy, I’ve used it when teaching my daughter her colors, numbers, as well as coordination.
Learning Curve has recalled all defective versions of this train, and so you should not be concerned with purchasing this or any other red (or yellow) train.
—Update—
My daughter has now had this for over a year now, and James is still one of her favorites. The quality of the train is as good as the day we bought it; Learning Curve’s promise of quality has proven itself many times over.
