Can you attach two of the same starter sets together? I.e. if I buy two of the thomas rides the rails, can they both be attached together?

Yes and no. If they are all Trackmaster, they theoritically fit together. But the shapes matter. So if the shapes and curves are not designed to make a full circle or a closed loop of sorts, they wont. But the basic tracks will fit together.

You can attach trackmaster track together whether or not they are starter sets. I'm not sure why you'd want to buy two unless you want two Thomas trains. If you need two Thomases, then I would suggest getting only one starter set, a second Thomas, and packages of extra track. That way, you will have more versatility in possible track layouts.

If the two types of track are the same color; they attach perfectly. If they are not the same color, they still attach but it might take some effort.
1533247
Yes and no. You can probably have the 2 stations and enough straight pieces to make a longer layout and have some left over pieces but you are better off buying the straight and curved pieces they sell separately. The Fisher Price Trackmaster Thomas trains also run on the Tomica HyperCity blue tracks perfectly. Those Tomica tracks might be cheaper too [They do not interconnect with the Fisher Price tracks]

Yes the track fits with some thought, but I suggest you get the TrackMaster FlexiTrack kit also (about ten $) that really makes it easier to put tracks together, esp. for little kids. Also, I'd get one of these and then the Talking Sodor Sounds Track Pack, then buy one of the cheaper trains... or one on sale. (Trackmaster Talking James is always a hit with the kids and usually a good price. Of course, they love Percy but he seems to be costly unless on sale.Kids would rather have 2 different trains instead of two Thomas' trains, and there's usually one on sale here at Amazon.

Yes, you can. The tracks are designed in such a way to extend and make it longer. You will have 2 stops and 2 stations, which may not be a bad thing. My daughter loves the set..she now has more tracks and she asked me to buy all the friends of Thomas. I told her that I have to think about it..:).

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

No. Most trains in this collection are kid powered. Some of the accessories are battery powered for lights, sound, etc. There are very few battery powered Thomas trains that are compatible with the Wooden Railway system.

I'm not sure about Chugginton trains (we don't have any yet), but the set is compatible with Thomas as well as the trains from Target (not sure of the brand). Actually, we really haven't had any issue with trains fitting the set yet (we also have IKEA trains that we use with the set). The set is actually great ~ considering how much other train tables cost ~ we got the table, and set, and the drawers for storage are a bonus. The table is sturdy and while the insert (the actual surface where the trains go) is a little flimsier than I expected, it's still plenty to hold the trains and set (and even my 1 yr old when she climbs on it). I wouldn't spend more on a set (especially the Chunggington table) when this is a very decent set and the kids love it!

I don't know. I do know the Thomas wooden tracks, but I never really checked. I'm sure they can. The sizes are about the same. I'm sorry I can't give you anymore information.

No. The wooden trains do not fit properly on this track and there is no way to attach the little ones that have magnets on the front to the TrackMaster Thomas trains.

Nope, this train is much bigger. It's a stand-alone toy. I will say, however, my son loves this train as much as he loves his Thomas trains/tracks. He just plays with it differently.

To clarify my previous answer of 'yes', I measured today as I noticed my son has two different types of Thomas the Tank trains. The ones that fit the Imaginarium tracks have wheels that are almost exactly 1 inch apart. He has a smaller gauge train that does not fit. Hope this helps.

I purchased the M&D; train set earlier this year and it is compatible with Thomas and Friends trains as well as Chuggington. If the Powered Sir Topham Hatt Figure 8 Set works with the typical wooden Thomas train tracks, then the answer to your question is "yes".

I would say yes. My son is 2 1/2 and has been playing with these types of trains for quite a while. Never any issues. They don't come apart that I know of.

Hello. The cars and tracks are seperate from each other. You can use them together or seperate.

There is an expansion set, apart from this huge set:Thomas the Train: TrackMaster Deluxe Expansion Track Pack (There is also a "starter" set which consists of a small track and an engine(usually Thomas) available here on Amazon or at stores like Walmart (cheaper) and Target. So, both these together along with the huge one you have right now, will make the LONGEST track possible. Be sure to use Trackmaster engines - other kind of engines will not run on this track. AND make sure you have that much of a GINORMOUS SPACE in your home / floor to layout the tracks !!

If you are referring to the Trackmaster trains for Thomas, then no. Ours don't work with these, but the wooden trains to.

I do not expect they match because the take'n play do not match trackmaster or the starter version. The engines are a different size from other Thomas and Friends trains also with wheels at different widths. I don't know about the Mega Bloks but I suppose they're even larger than Take 'n Plays.

Unfortunately no... Found out hard way, they are smaller tracks. Wish there was a way to purchase additional tracks for thomas train

No. And other Thomas trains don't go with/are compatible with this set. It's really for young children/toddlers. This set is enough to keep their attention. Simple and entertaining.

You can use any train set on it. The set that comes with it fits the older Thomas sets and most generic wooden track sets
