I am not sure if you can buy extra track. You might want to check with lego. I do know we have it on an old Thomas the Train table and most of the Lone Ranger lego towns fit inside of it.

I'd check ebay for extra tracks. There's one auction up there currently for about $18...another is asking $25, which is probably a huge ripoff, but keep checking, from time to time. Also, PM the person setting up the auction, they might be willing to put it up at a different price if it doesn't sell the first time. Amazon also sells straight LEGO train tracks, so that might be your best bet. $20 and done.

That's a good question. I would contact Lego and see what they say. Let me know. Thanks.

It is the same track all the lego trains use. There are track packs here on amazon and at lego.com.

The individual cars do not come with the track... we already have a large track setup and just wanted some extra cars...

While this makes a complete track this set does not include a motorised kart which you will need. I don't think you can buy these on their own so you will need to buy another track set that has karts included. To get the most out of this system you really need at least 2 sets I think. The more track pieces you have, the more flexibility you have to design your own tracks which is where the real fun is. It also maintains interest. You can go on YouTube and see heaps of tracks that people have designed themselves.

Yes, the more variety of Lego sets the better. I bought this set and another similar to it for the different style pieces. My granddaughters have enjoyed them and are building items without plans just for the fun of creating. They then take them apart and try other ideas.

Just have the train, so I don't know. I think I would try to call the company directly about that. This train has provided a lot of fun. I like the way the cars connect. Good for eye-hand coordination. The four containers in one of the cars are a bit tricky for a young toddler (or adult sometimes) to figure out. Kind of a tight fit. Overall a great and very durable toy.

Did you buy the set as one? It should have come with the table topper...they are two boards that were in the box upon purchase. If you bought it "second hand" and don't have the toppers, try calling Toys R Us...Imaginarium is their brand. I bet you can buy the toppers. But really, our kids never use the roads and such...the train covers up too much of it anyway. If you just have a flat surface the train would work all the same. I know it looks neat but reality is the train gets played all the time but cars on the road and such...not really. There just isn't a lot of space for the cards to roam while the track is set up.

What type of train set? Like another lego train set or another type of train set.

We buy complete sets from Amazon. They are inexpensive. Our Grandaughter doesn't mind a couple of duplicates. My son says it's easy to add them to the exsisting train tracks. We have about 4 sets so far.

I am not sure what kind of tracks my grandson have, I know that they are wooden tracks and the trains go nicely on them. My boys have a great time playing with their trian and track set. hope this helps . S. Swett

Yes the track fits with some thought, but I suggest you get the TrackMaster FlexiTrack kit also (about ten $) that really makes it easier to put tracks together, esp. for little kids. Also, I'd get one of these and then the Talking Sodor Sounds Track Pack, then buy one of the cheaper trains... or one on sale. (Trackmaster Talking James is always a hit with the kids and usually a good price. Of course, they love Percy but he seems to be costly unless on sale.Kids would rather have 2 different trains instead of two Thomas' trains, and there's usually one on sale here at Amazon.

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

You can add as many pieces as you want to make it as big as you want. I bought extra track sets for my son and he loves creating his own layouts all over the house.

Thank you for the info,P@BL((). I purchased these for 3 Grandsons. Forwarding this to them. Also bought other models of Lego's Techno Line. No complaints from the 3 boys.

No, but if you buy a few extra track pieces it is much more fun and the cars will jump a lot farther. Target sells 3 pieces of straight track for $1.99. Also, we set up blocks at the end of the jump and the cars crash through them, or try putting a bowl on the ground and see which can land inside. We even built some towers with blocks with an open space in the middle to see which cars could jump through without knocking it over. Using stuff from around the house, you can make so many interesting games with this toy. Great for kids' creativity & imagination

I think can add as much track as you want to buy. My grandson's added about double what it originally came with. They love their Bachmann Train.

Sorry, I don't know a good answer to that. Gave this to my grandsons last Christmas. I do know that they would have liked a little more track to be able to make more configurations, but for a 6 and 4 year old, the pieces were sufficient. I was surprised at how large the cars were. I obviously didn't understand the scale 1:32. I would have preferred smaller cars, but the set was a good one. I was surprised that it didn't have any guard rails. It really needed that. So if those are available, I would invest in that.

We use the floor but a table would be a lot better. Personally though I would look into some different train sets. This one proved to be a huge waste of money for us. You only have enough tracks to put together either a small circle or the one set up shown here. There is no room for creativity. Also several parts broke in the first week of having opened it. On top of all that it also came in a terrible looking package that made it look like a used set that someone threw back in the box haphazard with no effort in making it even fit into the box. I wish you luck if you decide to give it a go though. We use the floor but a table would be a lot better. Personally though I would look into some different train sets.
