There are two types of die cast tracks. We got my daughter the wild ride set for her bday, but different looking tracks. Do they work together still or no? Both are plastic but where connects look different. She's really wanting a round house to add to...

The type of track that comes in this set is the newer updated kind, and it is much easier to put together. But yes it does connect to the older kind if you have a connecter piece. I am not sure if this set comes with a connecter piece but most of the "newer" track sets do so your old sets don't go to waste!

They are interchangeable and very affordable! We've had these tracks for a couple of years and my daughter still plays with them pretty regularly. They are quite durable!

I believe it was specifically made for the larger, plastic, battery operated trains. It comes with a Thomas and a freight car, the boulders as well. What is unfortunate about this particular set is that the track isn't really compatible with other plastic tracks, like the Blue Mountain Quarry - the Great Quarry Climb play set and the "portable" plastic tracks. The tracks for this are very specific to the set itself. The wooden trains will fit the track but not the smaller die cast trains (I tried it out for you just to be certain).

I have had no problems running this train on the regular "Thomas Wooden Train Tracks". However, if used on generic track (that are advertized as "100% Compatible with All Major Brands") it sometimes derails at the joint between curved track pieces, particularly for tighter curves. I guess that the fit of the joints just isn't as snug! Anyway, with a little adjusting you can get them aligned so that there aren't any derailments.

Hi, I'm afraid I don't know. I got them for my nephew and my brother says they do not have that track. However, my nephew LOVES the cars, and my brother is a Hot Wheels buff and says they are cool. Only thing is, seems like when I ordered them, there was a caveat that they won't guarantee you get those exact cars, so watch out for that if you're stuck on those specific ones. But it's kind of hard to go wrong with Hot Wheels.

The wooden tracks came from a used toy store. I do not know the brand but there are Thomas and Friends engines and cars that roll well on the tracks. The bridge most definitely gives a new interest. Good Luck and have fun.

Take n Play sets do NOT have motorized engines. The motorized sets are Trackmaster sets. Didn't know this originally so we started with a mixed bag. They also don't fit the same on the tracks. The Take n Play are a bit narrower tracks. Both types so of fit on the tracks, but not exactly as designed. But the kids are now nearly 3 and they both play with the non-motorized ones more. I guess at this point they like being involved with the train, not just watching it. They started playing with them last May when I purchased their first set. Adam lives for 'Thomas', Abi likes Thomas and play with it a lot, but splits her time with Barbie. Check out the traveling Thomas the Engine that goes to various cities. A great day of events!

Not sure what Millie or Stephen are, but we have a number of Thomas trains. The electric one we have seems to have trouble with the turns, but we got it used, and it might not be in perfect shape. The nonelectric ones work great. If it works with the standard Thomas and friends wooden track, it will work with this set. (And if you have some of the Thomas brand track, you can use it interchangeably with the track here.

I'm not sure...I don't have any of the die cast tracks to compare it too. They are the wooden kind if that helps. Really though, with this table you won't need to add any more track. The ones it comes with is plenty and fills the whole table up. My son also has the Thomas tracks...which aren't compatible but we just play with those on the side. It's an awesome train table, my son loves it! (He's 3)

I don't think so--my boys play with their sets separately. I don't think they have tried to mix & match their wooden track engines with their Take and Play tracks.

Yes! All Mindscope tracks can be used interchangeably, or all together for one long track! Be aware that the car that comes with the track uses one AA battery and is a bit slower than the train and/or other vehicles that require two AA batteries. The train is so fast that it often jumps off the track. Still, the kids totally loved putting them all together to chase each other around the track. Enjoy!

Don't understand why because the bonus circle worked for my grandkids (6&8 year olds). The Hot Wheels Carcade Track Set works very well. Did you put the correct batteries in the right place? The only problem I had with this set was putting it together. It took me two hours, but it works very well.

It is compatible with the wooden trains.. Not sure about the tracks.. The best gift we've gotten so far for our son. We got it for Christmas and has not stopped using it since ..

This works with the trackmaster trains which are bigger, plastic, and motorized. I think the die cast ones you are referring to are the take and play trains (smaller than the original wooden ones). A fun track but easily becomes off balance. If your child is young and doesn't have a lot of patience it will be frustrating. Once you get it lined up right it works great until something bumps it and knocks it off balance.

We have over 40 cars and most of them do work (most were received when this track was received, but my son had about 10 cars prior to that). Even the cars that say "great for track" will fall off or may not completely go through the loop. The "Triple Track Twister" cars have what looks to be a plastic bottom so it makes them lighter. However, I think the only cars we haven't been able to work on any of the sets we have are the long, heavy cars and for some reason a convertible. Other than that most work well.

Hello Kristie, Yes. You can get more track for these sets. There are several different kinds so you will need to be specific as to what kind you have/want. Thank you for your interest. Have a Merry Christmas! Model Empire Inc.

I honestly am not sure as I don't have either of those. Most hotwheel sets that I have bought are compatable with each other but the energy track playset shoots out the cars (really fun) like a rocket so there is really nothing to attach it to. It's a great hotwheels set all on its own.
