is this a vintage/discontinued product? Can you purchase other parts, like extra tracks and extra cars?

I also purchased train engines for the tracks. They don't last long (cars) after being dropped, but I have "duct taped" them successfully until newone arrived.

No. Not even close. Go to eBay and look. That's where I had to get mine. I even tried perego. Bottom line is perego told me since they stopped the train production for a few years and just reintroduced it. They stopped the figure 8. I bought this and returned it.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I bought this for my Greatgrandson and had it delivered in another state. I did not see it in person. I do know that the track can be put together in different shapes.

I have never tried to buy accessories for this cart. I would imagine it would be possible to buy replacement parts, but I have never tried since I have never needed to. What kind of accessories are you talking about besides wheels (although I don't really consider wheels to be an "accessory")?

Hello, Christina. 'Im not so sure where to get them other than online. When I bought butterscotch it was a complete set but I remember seeing just the parts as well for sale. So Online but also from collectors as this product has been off the market for years. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I remember having trouble finding a butterscotch and just kept looking. Good luck!

Did not know it is being discontinued. Very sad! I doubt you can get parts.

I had a hard time finding cars that would work on this track other than the one that came with it. If you can find some that say "track", I would buy those.

Wow! Not exactly sure. I would try hobby stores that specialize in R/C racer parts.

You can order the accessories and trackmaster trains separate instead of buying the whole track sets. (might save a little money and room) This set provides you with at least 3 or 4 ways to build it. Do a search under Trackmaster Thomas the train sets and it should provide you with some more options after you see the set you just purchased. My daughter loves it and I just purchased more trains and used other pieces from a previous train set as scenery. Hope this helps.

I don't remember having to buy any additional hardware -- I'm 99.9% sure it comes with the tracks.

Good Morning, The track size is 40" x 60" oval and yes you can buy extra cars. Lionel made a Peanuts christmas car last year 2012 and may still be available. Thanks Len B E Discount Trains

The product description tells you how much track is included in the set. These little trains are best set up on a hard surface such as a dedicated board so I recommend going down to a hobby shop and talking with someone who can tell you exactly what you need. Good Luck!

These are not available anywhere else I can find - best guess is these are not made anymore and so, if you really liked one and want another then you get to work out the cost-benefit analysis for yourself and respect the reality of how things are priced in our free-market system. And yes, in 2008 it was under $50. Quick Marty, to the DeLorean, there is money to be made!

Just have the train, so I don't know. I think I would try to call the company directly about that. This train has provided a lot of fun. I like the way the cars connect. Good for eye-hand coordination. The four containers in one of the cars are a bit tricky for a young toddler (or adult sometimes) to figure out. Kind of a tight fit. Overall a great and very durable toy.

That particular piece is hard to find sold separately. Switch Track may work for you, but for this 3-way piece, you might have to try an auction site.

I believe all the hot wheels tracks and accessories are interchangeable. Although this particular track is meant to use on it's own. There is a car launcher at one end of the track and the other end of the loops shoots the car out into the air, providing that you can make the car through the loops in the first place! This was a Christmas present for my five-year-old grandson and he hasn't played with it since because the cars never make it through the loops.
