Can I add the extra cars that are Polar Express themed? I'm wondering if they will connect with the cars in the set and if the engine is strong enough

You can add any Lionel car to the set including the Polar Express add on's. The locomotive should be able to handle 10-12 cars. Thanks Len B E Discount Trains

I asked my son if he thought that another track set could be connected and he told me that it was posible (not so sure, though). I cannot give you a direct assessment of this possibility as I live in Costa Rica and the track was sent to my grandson in New York!

hello, it went with this train set: http://www.amazon.com/Holiday-Express-Animated-Electric-Train/dp/B0006KQGWA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383262354&sr=8-1&keywords=holiday+express+train

This would make a good size race track all by itself. It does not come with any of the battery operated racecars like the other sets do. You can buy the racecars separate, but MAKE SURE THEY ARE BATTERY OPERATED, not pull back cars. The package usually says "motorized" but sometimes is a pullback car that won't really work with this set. The other difference between the other track sets and this one is that the other track sets will have obstacles like other Mario characters such as Goombas, Ghosts, Lava Plumes, or other things that can bop the car as it goes by, kind of like on the Wii game.

We did the same thing. We started collecting about 6 years ago for our oldest son and now our youngest is enjoying the trains. We collected pretty much all of the diecast trains. We LOVE them...however, there seems to be more tracks and set ups for the wooden ones. We have a small amount of plastic track that works with the diecast but there isn't much else. We are considering collecting the wooden ones now!

We have not used it yet as it is a Christmas gift!! But I would definitely recommend this set, and buy a set of extra cars for later! As the little ones are hard on them!!

Yes you can add track we have a train store in town and the owner said that you need to stay with the same manufacturer. Also since the engine is the same as the passenger set you can just buy 1 passenger car separately and have two adventures in one

You can add as much as you want. Just make sure you get EZ track in N scale. I also bought a six pack of straight track on Amazon with this set.

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!

You can push or use any cars that fit inside the track. The track is wide, so that should apply to most toy cars.

this toy is also selled with a racetrack and an extra vehicle...I have seen it in the alextoys website...you should also check it out..I bought this 4 set vehicle for my son and I am very happy with it...but I would have loved to know about the existence of the one that I am telling you because that set its more complete than this one...Greetings!

If I understand your question. I do not think so . I believe some of the tracks DO NOT MATCH WITH OTHER SETS. I suggest go to Toys R Us and compare the packages.

I do not have any of those tracks, so I can't tell you for sure if they do or not. I do have a Thomas the Tank Engine set and an old Brio set.

That's my understanding for how the product line is intended to work. I know all of the cars work on all of the other sets but I am not familiar with the Train Station. The other sets will connect to the Train Station set but I don't know if the Train Station tracks are specific to the Train Car or not. I'd suggest contacting them directly just to be sure: E-mail: vtechkids@vtechkids.com Phone: 1.800.521.2010

Yes, these cars have a pretty strong magnets. They will stay on the track. This set comes with a tri-powerpack, for beginners on up. Enjoy your set!!!!

No. And other Thomas trains don't go with/are compatible with this set. It's really for young children/toddlers. This set is enough to keep their attention. Simple and entertaining.

If you are referring to Fisher Price Wheelies cars, no. They are too big. Some Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars will work. I tried some of my old Micro Machines mini cars, but they aren't heavy enough and get stuck. And the cars have to be low-profile enough to clear through the Eifel Tower and Big Ben features at the bottom of the track. I picked up this item second-hand without the original cars and we've been struggling to find the perfect cars to use with this.
