do the engines traverse?

no you either glued in vertical or horizontal but once you got the engine the way you want them do not glue the propellers (once assembled and painted) it just makes for easy transport and storage if ever necessary.

no, they do not, but after much thought and 2 very small springs and 2 small metal washers ,plus a modification to the lock cylinder, they can be made to move. you may also consider using a rod running through the wing to each engine connecting then together. mine looks wild with both engines tilted at 45 degrees and hanging from the ceiling with the rear ramp open. its not easy to do but thats why we build these things. its the challenge

Yes it does. I have the same excursion. Nice and tight. Took about 30min from start to finish.

Yes. You press a button to set a "start point", and it will create a 'track' once you cross that spot again.

Yes, the cars will make it to the bottom of the track by pushing them at the top. If the cars are old, or have wheels that don't spin well they may need a bit of guidance as they travel from one track to the next. My kids also love putting marbles and golf balls down.

No. You press a button on the gas tank. First it makes a starting up noise and lights turn. Then press next time it reves up and takes off for a good distance.

Hello, I'm pretty sure a long as its the sohc engine. You might want to check water inlet location and heater hose outlet on the intake to make sure its close to the Explorers.

Yes. Any of their "preschool" or Discovery Junction engines will work. None of those are motorized, but the company rep confirmed for me that those engines will run on the track.

For engine or trans yes. Pull the label up to reveal directions for other applications

Yes .its a slow start feature .so thinset etc won't splash all over the place .it starts up with very low rpm.

Yes, the cargo car does disconnect from the Thomas engine - they are connected by the two-way magnets that are standard for Thomas engines and cars. The Thomas engine is the same size as standard wooden Thomas engines. Hope this helps!

Yes they do. But, they don't travel very far because the wheels are plastic and don't have a lot of weight and grip.

They do not move on their own. They do make sounds and play a song about that type of vehicle for example a helicopter song

This starter set does not have propulsion per se. There are four track routes from the center tower such that when you puhlsh the plunger at the top gravity does the work. Several other of the track sets in the same compatible track family have propulsion elements. Does that answer your question?

Yes, the cars, with the exception of the wide one, will run on the Hot Wheels track. The wide vehicle has a tendency to slow down when it gets into the curves due to its size. The sleek, thin built car, really fly! Really Fly!

Yes, the directions say that two (of the three) fronts are on the ground and the little one of the three stays off untill they sit on it. This has something to do with the propulsion. My grands found by driving it more the car got faster. Hope this helps.

If you are looking for a tachometer ,no it can not. I have never seen a dwell spec for a small engine so no again! but it would tell you if the engine was charging the battery !!

No, but I suppose it is possible given enough speed during the approach. Slow steady movement up the ramp allows the vehicle to feel the flat top surface and the stopping point. Hope this helps.
