will the tracks lay flat on a low pile carpet or does it have to be on the floor?

We have it on the floor but we had a similar set in our old house, which had very low pile carpet, and it worked fine. I think you'll be OK.

The tracks will lay flat on low pile carpet - just make sure to use the clips they provide in-between each section of track. Your kids will love it - our kids loved the train and used it with the Cowboy / Fort set (picture bandits and Native Americans attacking the train) and also the House / Town set (not quite so exciting - family from the "big house" on the hill go down to the town).

My floor is carpeted and the metal sits flush with the floor. It is not high

Mine rolled out flat and has stayed flat. If yours doesn't then just flip it over so the curled side is face down. I don't see any reason why you couldn't install carpet tiles on top of this.

No, no place to sit really and I am not to sure the tracks would roll. It's a really nice excavator.

The Brio trains are comparable in size to the Thomas, Imaginarium, and Melissa and Doug trains (the tracks are interchangeable too). Yes, it will run on the floor, although a rough-pile carpet would probably cause it to stop or tip over.

It sits flat. I think it comes with small stick on tabs for hard floors maybe 1/4 or 1/2 inch thick, but I didn't use them because mine sits on carpet.

I have mine set up on the carpet and am having no issues with it. You just need to make sure you use the leveling feet at the end so that everything is setting just right. took me about 5 minutes to get that just perfect.

It is not designed for tracks as it has an individual ceiling base. Maybe you could adapt it though.

it lays flat and is about 1/8" or so above floor , some of the ones I bought are still not flat . If they would have just rolled them up instead of folding them before putting them in the box I think they would all be flat by now

They are squared and don't sit completely flat I suggest not putting it on hard floor it will scratch them and slide ask alot perfect on carpet though

No, it is not recommended to be placed directly on carpet or wood floors. What we have done (we have wood floors) is just bought two 12 x 12 porcelain/ceramic tiles to put underneath it. This product works very well - always use shoes, slippers or socks or your feet will be too hot!

Yes, my nephew sets it up on my parents living room floor that is carpeted and it runs perfectly fine. I hope this helps.

the instructions say 6 inches but I did that and had to move the track closer together about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. So between 5 1/4 and 5 1/2 inches and you will be fine.

It works best with a track, but my kids regularly use it on the floor, too.

Guessing Infrared. Only problem experienced as stated Tracks come off easily on carpet but not on smooth floors. Great fun..

Gravely surfaces forest floors nothing really tall original can be derailed and refrain from doing spins on any kind of carpet or u will strip out the gear train not to mention drlerail one track turning while driving forwards only on carpet

A carpet can make the balance tilt. It should be placed level on a solid floor.
