does it come with any cargo cars or just Thomas engine? are there any cargo cars you can buy separately that Thomas can pull?

It comes with Thomas and one red cargo bucket to pull along and catch the crown.

It comes with a Thomas, a red truck, and a crown. Generally you get extra cargo and cars as parts of train sets i.e. buy Percy and the mail coach or Salty and a fish wagon. This is a nice set but it's self contained, and really what you need is Stephen, as it's him not Thomas who gets trapped in the mine and finds the crown.

Hey, the description does state that it comes with the cargo cars. I purchased this item for my nephew who doesn't live with me, so I want to believe that the description is right. I think you can get separate cargo cars and other engines sold separately if you wanted to. Hope this helps. My nephew loves it!!!

LOL NO its not that heavy! my son got this for his 3rd birthday and he can carry it anywhere! I do believe though that is the shipping weight cause its in a big box with bubble wrap and packing material and also the toy itself is in a big box! so it was heavy when I received it but the toy itself is not that heavy. Also if you do buy this toy dont forget the extra trains! the set comes with 1 thomas train but you have to have James and Percy too :) My son still plays with this toy everyday!! its an excellent choice for the Thomas fan!!!

It comes with a motorized thomas engine and box car. When he drops thru the abandoned mine he rescues the King's gold crown in his caboose. Very cool train set.

im not sure. i dont have any thomas trains. i dont think so. its compatible with the trains sold at target though. i had a lot of those already, but i probably would have gone out to buy them, since the ones that come with the set dont ride so smoothly. the target trains are very inexpensive! hope that helps.

Hey, my son got some "chicken cars" for New Year that have magnetic cargo too. I know it's kinda too late for Christmas, but I wanted to update the info here. Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Sodor Chicken CarsIf you look at the pic, you can see the magnetic circle in the center of the cargo.

This is a gift for my grandson, so we haven't tried it. All the Smart Wheels vehicles work on this track & all the tracks connect together. I don't know if you can buy cars separately or not. I hope this helps.

The easiest way I choose the trains is to purchase the Thomas Take and Play ones (perfect sizes) or Matchbox cars/trucks. Anything else can use the top roads, but the can't clear the bridges.

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!

My grandson says "yes". Some of the engines come with their own removable cargo, so you can fill them with whatever you like.

He's the same size as the regular Thomas train. And yes, the cargo car does disconnect. It's a magnet just like all the other trains.

It does. We ordered one last Christmas and it came with at least 2 cars. They are super fast, so it requires a lot of skill and discipline to keep them on the track. :-)

Hello, It's one engine and three cars. Also, there are other cars that exactly match the set, such as the tank car, available on amazon, and highly recommended.

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!

One comes with the toy and is good. My boys have used most of their Hot Wheels cars on the toy and some work better than other. It is simply trial and error in that regard. Hope that helps you.

There is an expansion set, apart from this huge set: http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Train-TrackMaster-Deluxe-Expansion/dp/B002SNA5HU/ref=pd_bxgy_t_text_y (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 !!

Hi, This Thomas the train item is practically ageless, 3 yrs old thru as far as 6-7 yrs old. It is always fun, and they can add other stuff around it and decorate it with Christmas trims. My Grandson, and friends children, also, are ages 3- Almost 7 yrs old,and they have played with this since about 3 or 4 yrs old. Mom's and Dad's love playing with all of them with it. They count laps around the track, and take other toys for rides. Excellent, long-lasting interest in it, and very well built !! Would highly recommend it !!

I have been searching for the Trackmaster Ferdinand also for my 2 and 3 year old sons. I can find it on Amazon and Ebay for $50+ but am not willing to spend that much. Any suggestions on how to get this train for a decent price?
