Thomas Train Sets - All Battery Operated? Can anyone tell me if all of the Thomas the Train Wooden Railway sets come with battery operated trains?!?

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.

Yes, it had a battery operated Thomas the Train train. Runs fine until the kids forget to turn it off.

I bought it for my grandson. He has the battery powered train. And it works for it.

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

I know this set will work with the Wooden Thomas trains. If your battery operated Thomas trains are wooden, then yes it will work with this set.

No. They have to go with the track master tracks. The only Thomas that will work on these are the wooden railway trains. Sorry. :(

Take 'n Play are manual trains. It's the trackmaster sets that require batteries. Although there are a couple Take 'n Play that talk so they may need a battery. The 2.5 yr olds actually prefer the Take 'n Play.

Yes, it's motorized by battery power and it moves along the track (plastic) on it's own power. A great train set for the young beginner.

I don't know if the motorized trains work or not? We just bought some of the "push" trains of Thomas and Friends a couple of weeks ago and they work great.

YES. As a matter of fact, I purchased the imaginarium train table, in stead of the Thomas and saved a fortune to start my layout for the grandchildren. Then, because they had Thomas & Friends in their mind. I replaced all the trains + with Thomas Battery Operated Trains. My youngest, my Granddaughter was 2 at the time, really enjoyed them running around the tracts WITH the Noises that the Imaginarium Train Set-up made. Thomas doesn't have those tracks and pieces. I suggest that if You expand the layout, as I did, You purchase Thomas Track. The difference is that Thomas Track has grooves where the wheels go and with Battery Operated Trains, there is better traction. IF You have any other questions, please feel free to ask me. Larry

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 what is included in this set, you have to push the train by hand. After discovering this, I went out and bought a battery powered motorized train ($15). You can connect all the non-powered trains in a daisy chain as they have magnets at the front and rear of each carriage.

I am honestly not sure! We only have the Thomas wooden tracks. I am sorry to not be of more help!

My grandson has several battery operated Thomas Train Engines including a remote control Thomas and they all work on this track set.

Idk... We have Thomas wooden railroad and Thomas track master and it works just fine. Both with the Thomas tracks and trains.

Not sure what Millie or Stephen are, but we have a number of Thomas trains. The electric one we have seems to have trouble with the turns, but we got it used, and it might not be in perfect shape. The nonelectric ones work great. If it works with the standard Thomas and friends wooden track, it will work with this set. (And if you have some of the Thomas brand track, you can use it interchangeably with the track here.

Good Morning, Only one locomotive can be run by the remote as supplied with the set. The remote is operated by 3 AAA batteries and is not directly connected to the track. The wall pack is connected to the track and the remote communicates to the locomotive. Thanks Len B E Discount Trains
