Trains are not electric. Nothing in set is electric. You can buy the Thomas and Friends cars which are compatible to the track.

Yes. I've found the Thomas tracks are compatible with most other wooden track systems. I bought a used train table and random wooden tracks at a yard sale. The only ones I've found are difficult to connect with other tracks are the ones with the plastic connectors; those are still compatible, they just seem to "stick" and are more difficult to pull apart than the other track sets.

I don't know! I am a beginner and I bought the train as a Christmas gift for my daughter who is into trains. That's why I sticked to the same brand.

Trackmaster trains and play sets are compatible. Must say trackmaster. The take and play sets are a smaller size.

If you purchase just the engine and coal car tracks are not included. If you buy a complete set of trains then tracks and transformer are included

Some are, some are not. The curved tracks and junction tracks are, the straight tracks are not. Hope this helps. My daughter LOVES these tracks and they work very nicely with the Thomas trains. A year later and she still plays with these nearly daily.

Yes, it is fully compatible with standard Lionel FasTrack (I ordered additional pieces with the set). I see the 2013 Holiday Catalog shows Lionel is using this same(?) wireless remote technology in more sets, allowing multiple trains to run on the same tracks and each being controlled by their own remote controller while the track power remains constant. I am ASSUMING the Thomas version from the year before is compatible, but I haven't tried that (but plan to!). They do advertise multiple 2013+ trains co-operating.

We bought Thomas and friends KNAPFORD Station with Thomas, Annie and Clarabelle included. It did not have the original box, however, I just looked at the ebay items and saw a boxed set exactly like ours. The box doesn't show "talking railway series", but the station master does talk as the trains pass by. They show talking bubbles on the box, and to the best of my recollection(it was a gift to my grandson) it does say what the bubbles say. You might look at the box on ebay and see if this is what you are looking for. This may be the only one that includes the 3 trains with it, so that sets it apart. Hope this helped!

For HO trains, Nickel Silver track (don't buy the cheap stuff), Nickel Silver Power Terminals about every 10" and Power Extension Wire. By using those items, my train has now run flawlessly for over four years. I love it. If you go cheap, you will not enjoy. I used Bachman, but there are others out there.

They sell most of the vehicles individually, I think you could probably purchase a train individually. Perhaps you could contact Vtech and let them know it broke, they might be able to send a replacement.

no they are not compatible-and it uses batteries-you may be able to purchase an a/c adaptor from the company-because you can purchase extra track.

Everything Lionel makes now is unfortuatnely coming from China. I own this train and it's neat, but it could be nicer and i would pay more if It was made here in the USA, like it use to be. Lioinel might make something here in teh USA still but everything I have bought is all China lately.

I don't know. You really don't want to buy this train. It constantly de-rails.

Yes it is. But I would not buy from this dealer. He listed a this train set for a low price. I paid for it then he said he could not honor it. Beware!!!

That's my understanding for how the product line is intended to work. I know all of the cars work on all of the other sets but I am not familiar with the Train Station. The other sets will connect to the Train Station set but I don't know if the Train Station tracks are specific to the Train Car or not. I'd suggest contacting them directly just to be sure: E-mail: vtechkids@vtechkids.com Phone: 1.800.521.2010
