Is the train actually made from legos or larger pieces of plastic? My son is wanting a Lego train he can assemble and I can't tell lfrom the pics

The Lego train is built from 699 Lego blocks your son would have to assemble to make the trainIndividual Lego blocks are made out of plastic though. On all Lego boxes they will tell you how many pieces you have to assemble just like a puzzle box.

It is all made from Lego's. My son wanted the same thing, he loves this train.

I bought this table a couple of years ago so I'm not sure if it came with train pieces or not. My nephews had their own tracks and Thomas trains. Sorry couldn't be more helpful.

It's got both metal and plastic parts. It is so well made, and I would recommend this to anyone! My grandson just loves it. He's 2, and I can see him playing with this for years to come. Best toy I've ever bought.

The pieces are Lego type pieces but not actual lego pieces. The finished Tardis is not quite as smooth and neat as a true Lego construction. It's still a nice piece though, and I like mine.

I am not familiar with Imagination, but do have lots of experience with Thomas the Train tracks and accessories. I bought 2 Wooden Train Track 100 piece sets - one for each grand kid. Track connectors are not precisely cut and the quality seemed to vary from piece to piece, hence a few pieces did not fit well with Thomas the Train. I just threw the pieces away that where too hard for small kids (2-4 year olds) to work. That being said, the overall number of pieces to expand a basic set and the price make it worth buying. My grandkids don't know the difference and don't care between these track pieces and the real thing. The 100 pieces is more than they ever use even on their busiest day and has ended complaints about needing more track pieces.

Nothing is glued, all removable, add other sets, etc, my grandson loves it. He had Thomas trains, and he has them all on the table at the same time, would buy again.

Hi Denise. It's not any scale or track ready. I asked if it will fit ho model railway and they said yes. But the car itself is actually bigger then a g gauge train. Lol. It's about 300 mm long and about 150 mm wide. It's just a toy car that has the rail wheels tucked up ready for use as in the movie. But they don't move up or down. Anyways it just a big model car with a bad description. If you want one ill sell you mine for half the price I paid, it's never been opened and probly never will. Lol. Ok I hope I helped you not fall into the same trap I fell into. As I thought it'd look awesome running around my track. Ok. Maxx Hi Denise. It's not any scale or track ready.

There are certain pieces that are made specifically with notches to make the cars displayed on the box. They have special magnets that attach to the wheel base. The tiles in question can still attach to the others in the set but they are not as strong. My kids are still young and have not yet figured out how to build the cars on the box. They use those tiles along with the others for building projects.

I believe it was specifically made for the larger, plastic, battery operated trains. It comes with a Thomas and a freight car, the boulders as well. What is unfortunate about this particular set is that the track isn't really compatible with other plastic tracks, like the Blue Mountain Quarry - the Great Quarry Climb play set and the "portable" plastic tracks. The tracks for this are very specific to the set itself. The wooden trains will fit the track but not the smaller die cast trains (I tried it out for you just to be certain).

Agree with other comments. Mostly plastic with metal (probably brass) on ends of pieces to conduct electricity. I had to return mine because it didn't fit the track I already had even though it looked the same. Train set I had was called Coastal Express.

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!

They are standard size Lego bricks. I think it's easier for children 5+ to handle. There are quite a few of the smaller pieces (small circles) included, so those you should be mindful of. There are standard shapes (the white bricks especially) but also some special shapes (ex: the ones used to create the treehouse base structure, and the ones for the little fence and the roof pieces).

No sir, but my grandson has enjoyed it as is. He just turned 5 and still plays with it and his sister is 2 1/2 and plays with him and the train. I hope this helps you as I am glad I purchased the train. I have purchased all of the Toystate sets for him I have found, you see he likes trucks, construction toys, Monster Jam, and is now interested in Matchbox and diecast planes and his new bicycle from Santa.

All I can say is the plastic tracks. Not the wooden ones. If you don't set it up like the box. They can do it themselves I guess depending on the age, I got it for my granddaughter at 5, and she can make a large circle and a hill. Don't have room to keep it set up all the time. She loves it though.

Yes, they are a kind of glittery plastic. We love the set and are especially happy with the size and the numbers instead of dots. Yes the pictures are a true likeness. When we first opened the game up, we thought the pieces seemed smaller than we expected (we had played with a full sized set before). But we love the size now. The bigger set takes up so much room on the table...you have to keep re-adjusting the train lines to try to make room. The smaller size makes so much more sense. We even took it to the local park to play on a picnic table. :)

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.
