This train will not teach my child quantum physics, advanced calculus, or how to share. It, and other members of the “Shining Time” line, are absolute favorites. Unlike similar train sets, the magnets stay put and the wheels stay on. Every surface is transformed into a rail line. It even stands the test of time from a teething baby brother (although not recommended as a chew toy). The price is reasonable enough to accumulate an entire set over a short amount of time, which leads to a happily cluttered bedroom, family room, and kitchen. It also helps teach the fine art of organization (parental).

Of course, there are a million versions of Thomas out there, and I think we own most of them, including the battery-powered, plastic Tomy sets that run on plastic tracks. But these little wooden trains by Learning Curve are just the ticket for young children to tote along with them to restaurants, banks, the paint store — all those places we all hated to go as kids but as adults can’t seem to stop dragging our own kids to.
They’re sturdy, detailed, accurate depictions of the famous British tank engine and his friends, and they are quiet and kid-powered, so they can be taken out and played with anywhere. They are small enough to fit in whatever your child uses as a tote. They have magnets on the front and back, too, so he or she can link several of them together to keep play interesting.
I believe there is also a type of track that is designed for use with this toy, but we preferred to stick with the platic Tomy set for that activity and use these Learning Curve toys as the perfect travel mates.

Thomas works with many brands of wooden railways besides Learning Curve (Brio and Playskool being two).
If you have die hard Thomas fans in your family, plan on buying more than just Thomas, Our two children are always fighting over Thomas.

First, when I bought a Thomas tape, My 3 years old son watched it six times in a line. Then I bought Figure 8 set. He liked it very much. Later I had the Mountain Tunnel Set and a lot of tracks and most of the engines and freight cars and circus cars. Now my three little children play them every day. The two years old twins count the engines and they all learn to share the railway, who goes where; Who passes the crossroad first to avoid crash. They learn to wait patiently because the train is very long. I help them bulid the railway system(I change the layout freqently). Dad sometimes has a race with them. It could be a hobby later in their teen life. My experence, 8 inchs track is never enough when you want to play on the carpet. They are good toys.
