Says for 14 and above. Also says not for children under 3. Don't waste your money.

We use this set in a class for children age 4-6 years and then transition to the smaller Technic pieces at around 7 years old. We have had some 7 year old students that probably could have used trying out the axles with this set first before the Technic ones.

This train set is a christmas gift for my nephew. I haven't opened the package. I briefly opened the top of the box and it looks like it would be very difficult to put back in. So I am sorry I am not able to answer your question. Thanks for asking though.

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!

The box says 9-14. Younger kids could do it if they have had experience building complicated sets. Otherwise, assistance will be needed.

I'm not real sure on the age range--I threw out the packaging that may or may not have had ages on it--my grandson is 7 and he loves this set. The size is about 4 inches for the tardis, and an inch or so smaller for the characters. Characters are somewhat larger than lego characters, but my grandson plays with them altogether anyway. Hope this helps!

It has, 100?, pieces which includes trains. It really is worth the price. Amazon has a separate pack of trains that I bought too, but I think there are now too many on the table!

My grandson was 3 when I bought them....he is now 5 and still plays with them. I would say ages 3 to 7 or more. They are very well made and true to profession.

It says for ages 1-3. I bought for my 1 year old grandson and he's big for his age. He'll be able to ride it for a few more years. He loves it!!! His older sister 4 who is a little small for her age rides it and looks like she'll be able to ride it for some time as well. Hope that helps.

It's a really small set. It will work, but, my son was really disappointed. Wish we would of taken all the money we spent on all the different train sets and bought the Thomas set that sells for $400.

My son is 2, he has a great time putting together the tracks and the magnetic trains. Can't say when he'll outgrow it. We've had this and other sets like this for 6-8 mos.

My grandsons are 2 and these trains are just right for any age - we also use th at our preschool and find them useable for any age and very sturdy as well !

FasTrack is what the this set comes with, it's a plastic gray base. The railings are metal, so the train runs on them. The cars are all plastic, but well made. My son is a toddler and he's kind of rough with them. The actual engine is mostly metal though, it's VERY heavy for its size. If the cars were metal it would be a lot harder for the train to pull them. So I like the plastic cars, they are easy to pull. The detail on the train isn't that bad either, its not a expensive set, but I was pleased with the looks. The smoke isn't that thick when it comes out, that could be better. The whistle is kind of soft too, but you get what you pay for. If you are looking for a beginners train set, its not that bad. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

Anywhere from 9 to 13 or 14. Even older kids could have fun with some of the sleight of hand tricks if they're into entertaining friends. It's a great set as a starter too, good value because you get a LOT of different stuff. It'd be a terrific Chrustmas/holiday gift. I got it for my 11 year old grandson who fell in love with magic after seeing Steve Carroll in The Amazing But Wonderstone. Enjoy!

The boys we bought them for were 2 & 4 years old. They are now 3&5 and continue to ride them. The older one was riding them at preschool. I would say in that age range.

it is more of an add-on set. Not many pieces included, but it does increase the complexity and height of the track and my son loves when his trains go down the track when he lets them go...
