Are there other engines that you can buy that would also work on this set?

I called Fisher Price and the first rep said she did not know. i had to call a second 800# and the rep said the train is stand alone, other engines do not work on the track. What a bummer!! My son won't be too happy. i think the "take along" sets have other engines you can add . Wish i knew before i bought this.

The discover junction ones do work, but they are not a perfect fit. My son didn't mind though and plays with them together

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.

You'll need to buy a launch system, consisting of a launch pad and electrical launcher. If you're new to the hobby, I strongly recommend buying an all-in-one package which includes everything but the engines (here's an example: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VLP67S/ref=psdc_676756011_t1_B009GIJ4MM).

Yes, the battery operated engines can run of the Wooden Train Track 100 piece set. As with any track, you may fine some bumps along the way and need to help the engines along--but adjusting the track or swapping out pieces usually fixes it.

You can use any hotwheels car with set. Grandson loved this by the way. He still plays with it 1 year later.

Yes, you can mix different freight cars. I have some older Tyco cars that work perfectly. Even different locomotives can be used; I have since moved up in my model railroading tastes and now use higher-quality locomotives from Walthers TrainLine and Proto 1000 (along with a Mantua loco.) They run smoother than the included locomotive, and is worth considering when you are upgrading/expanding this set.A worth of note: this set uses the old-style "horn-hook" couplers. Life-Like is the only company that makes train sets with those couplers; all the others upgraded to knuckle couplers. You may want to eventually replace the "horn-hook" couplers with newer knuckle ones: Kadee makes some great couplers. Yes, you can mix different freight cars.

Since both sets are on the same gauge and manufactured by Lionel, yes you can. The set also comes with a controller you can use as a backup or sell. I love the set.

It should. But your going to need two of them. That's a fun engine to work on. Lol

Can't speak for all but we have HO cars and engines dating back from the seventies when they were Tyco to recent releases and they all work great. BTW this kit is a great value and works very well.

just make sure you have model&serial number of engine you can find anything you need

I don't think so--my boys play with their sets separately. I don't think they have tried to mix & match their wooden track engines with their Take and Play tracks.

I don't think any of them will work contrary to the picture. The indentation for the motor is too small. When you tighten the screws on the motor mount it starts to slide off. You'd have to mount some thin pieces of wood on either side to get a motor to fit snugly. I haven't figured anything else out yet. Other than that it's a great little boat.

Yes. All hot wheels tracks can be added to other sets. The only limits are ones imagination.

No. If you go to minnkotas site, there's a link there that will show you the model #'s for each motor.

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.

Idk if it will fit but I suggest getting the complete set. It is the same price at the moment
