Lots of track combinations, and the wood is very nice. These are well-made and fit with our other track brands.

This is a lovely addition to a Thomas wooden set which we received after putting it on our Amazon Wish List.

What you should know right away: the set features one 5 way joiner track in the front that ends in a single track.  If you're like me and you're building your Thomas set for your child, you may not have additional switch track pieces that branch to form two tracks.  This means that your child's nice circular set (or figure 8 set as we have) won't be circular any more.  The tracks leading out of the back of the sheds don't have connectors...so the roundhouse is a stopping point unless you purchase or have a splitter to branch back to both ends of your circular track.  So make sure you get a splitter too if you don't have one.

My son absolutely loves it and I do as well.  It's fun to open the doors and send the engines to sleep.  We also led one track around the back and he's able to complete his circular voyage by doing a little "hop" with the trains over the small gap where there is no connector, using the roundhouse like a tunnel. He doesn't have any problems opening the doors and the quality on the construction is wonderful and it is just gorgeous, taking his set to a new level.  I was surprised by how big it was, it takes up a sizeable space on his Thomas table.

It is a great piece to add to your set because it offers a really different kind of interaction.  Most everything else is something the trains pass by or over, but this one has great interactivity with the doors and pulling the engines through as well as being a stopping/storage point for the engines.

Just ignore the picture on the Amazon listing that shows the turntable as that isn't a part of the set.  Frankly I'm glad, he loves to make longish trains and that causes all sorts of problems when he tries to use the turntable on his Take and Play set.

This isn't the only Thomas Wooden Railway set our 3  yr. old grandson plays with, but its a favorite. He really enjoys having two different track options.  With a down-turn of a lever, train cars can roll high atop tracks and hillside; by turning the same lever upwards, trains roll downhill through a hidden tunnel. This is a great set that requires little adult interventionour three year old can easily assemble/disassemble all by himself and operating the lever/knob is an easy concept. The simple choice of driving trains over or under keeps him occupied a long time.

As with other Thomas Railway sets, Im impressed with craftsmanship. Wooden and plastic pieces are sturdy and colorful, and they can be connected with other Thomas track pieces and accessories. We also have a KidKraft train table, and this set works well with those pieces too. Used alone, this is a great introduction to the world of toy trains, but it also makes a nice add-on with any other wooden set.

Set up, it measures about 39   long and about 11 wide. Ive included pictures showing what happens when the knob is turned down (trains travel above and down) and when the knob is turned up (goes through hidden tunnel). The last couple photos show the nice picture detail on some of the pieces.

The HV1 and HM1 Track set are fantastic! I will be using them in a modular traveling oval design for our Train Club as we begin an HO Division.
Amazon was awesome keeping me informed until they arrived at my doorstep.

My son loves the Thomas train track. However, that is a bit pricey!  I was happy to find quality wooden pieces that fit perfectly with our existing Thomas track.  I would definitely recommend!

We bought this track for our son's second birthday. He loves Thomas the train and we wanted to get a track that we could permanently affix to our train table (as he has the plastic "take away" Thomas tracks we can get creative with). We recently were at an amusement park with the Thomas train sets that are permanently affixed to the tables (like the ones featured at bookstores like Barnes and Noble) and were very impressed with those sets. However, when we discovered the cost of the sets (in the $100's), we felt that the investment was a little much for a two year old. We were pleasantly suprised when we received it, that this track is comparable to the authentic Thomas set. We added a few authentic Thomas pieces to it (the light and sounds train station and a mountain cave) and it is just as thrilling as the Thomas set to our son. The set was easy to assemble, but it is big and requires a sizeable train table. Because we did not want to be constantly reassembling the track, we screwed the ground-level tracks into the train table and super-glued the elevated tracks. It looks fantastic and has been a real hit with our son. Now having seen both tracks, I would definitely opt for the Melissa and Doug track over the Thomas track in a minute, especially if cost is an issue.

My 3 yr old son has a ton of tracks! Thomas wooden, Thomas plastic, Lego tracks, you name it, he has a track for it. I swore I was going to stay away from another track option until he received the Geo Trax airport, which so conveniently came with ONE sample track. Sucker! He begged & begged for MORE tracks. So "santa" brought him this set this past Christmas. I have to say I LOVE these Geo Trax as much as he does! They are SO durable and so darn cute when the chunky remote trains run around them. He is now 4, and has 10,000 geo trax pieces (I can't help myself). Just bought the track riser expansion set today. Can't wait to add on to his set....I need a job! LMAO! Fisher Price hit big with this toy, excellect value, durable & tons of fun!

My train-crazed grandson loves it. The track sets up really quickly and holds tight to take some bumping around. ThomasThe Train is NOT included but is available here and is battery operated. He has a huge train table at home and this set is perfect for the stay at Grandma's house train track. All pieces have square connectors and packs away easily in it's own box.

My grandsons loved this set of trains!  Works great with wooden tracks and we built them a train table for Christmas!

Super well made and sweet design. Cant wait to get a track for this! My 2 year old loves his new trains. Bought this for him to play with because his waffle train set (that a family member bought him) is a bit too hard for him to put together. These stick together and are sturdy wooden pieces that I don't have to worry about breaking even if he tosses them across the room. The display box it comes in is an awesome plus.

I was amazed !!, This item was shipped 1 day after being ordered and arrived 2 days later.  All 91 pieces are smartly packaged in a high density arrangement and are of excellent quality, workmanship and way more affordable than the Thomas or Brio track sets. My Wife and I can't wait to see our Daughter, Son in law and Grandson playing trains with their new expansion set. Both big 'Kids' spend hours constructing different layouts with their 3 year old Son and that makes for some great family time.
Some previous reviews concerning weak and thin crossing gates and non-operating turn table quality appear to have been solved.
I would definitely recommend this to any train enthusiast.

This is the most reasonably priced train table we could find. The quality is fairly good for what you are paying - it's not Brio, but we just couldn't justify buying a $300 set that didn't even include a table. We bought a few Thomas accessories to go along with the set and we plan on buying one or two Brio items, but KidKraft gives you lots of tracks and accessories with this table to have great fun with that you don't really need to buy any extras if you don't want to. It was a great hit for our three year old's birthday. One caveat - look at the measurements of the table before you buy - this table is actually bigger than the Brio or Melissa and Doug table and it takes up a lot of room in our toy room.

Great stand alone track, and even better as an expansion to an existing set! Our 4 year old loves using the container box's top/junction to have the trains crash and have "really bad accidents", although it can also be set up to allow a fun and entertaining crisscross adventure.  Provides lots of imaginative playtime for our child, which we love. I would highly recommend this set, and would purchase it again.

We got these before getting the train table which came with its own trains.  Like these trains waaaaaaay better than the ones that came with the train table.
The train table is from a reputable maker, but I think that their trains were an afterthought.
The other trains make me appreciate the simplicity of these (not a billion little pieces).  Also, the magnets are end-to-end, so regardless of how hey're configured, they "fit" together.
Bright, inviting colors and not too big/small for little hands.  I look forward to my son playing with these for years.

I bought this as an add-on pack for our son's existing Brio train set. I wasn't sure what to expect as far as quality when compared to the far more expensive set. I'm happy to say that these pieces are just as nice as the Brio pieces and are fully compatible. They're indistinguishable from the others and for a much less expensive price.

My son now has enough train pieces to build larger, elaborate layouts across our basement floor. He loves the addition to his collection and I love what a great value these turned out to be.

If you want a lot of basic train tracks to expand a set, look no further.

We have a small electric set with one train car, about 8 track pieces that make an oval and a train station.  This was the perfect set to complete ours and make it more playable with a cool bridge/tunnel piece!  The kids love it.  The set adds all you need for a ton of variety...very pleased with the set!

My son is 18 months and absolutely loves this addition to his wooden train collection. We have an Imaginarium train table with a mix of Brio and Thomas the Train pieces. This integrated perfectly with the Imaginarium and Thomas elements of our collection.
