User Reviews

Good price, average item - Rating: 3/5

Received a red "Mike" train and coal tender. Never heard of that one, but it seems to be of good quality, made of wood and plastic. My son likes it.
The video is one of the older ones w/ Ringo Starr. The production quality isn't as good as the more recent Thomas videos and Ringo is not one of the better narrators. He doesn't seem to have the warmth or the ability to keep the kids attention as well as others. It sounds like he is just reading a book out loud. Overrall, w/ the train, this is a decent value, but not great.


DVD w/Double Trains - Rating: 4/5

Our son enjoyed this DVD. We purchased it because the picture showed two trains engines. When it arrived it had 1 train and also his tender box, but not two train engines.


Wrong trains included in the set. - Rating: 1/5

Instead of 2 engines pictured (Thomas and Duncan) the set ended up containing one cheaper engine (Mike) and its tender. A similar set I ordered last month on Amazon also included a wrong train. Finally, I paid $12 for this set last week and now the price has dropped down to $6.


Train Is Not The One Pictured - Rating: 3/5

It's a selection of Thomas videos, so if you know Thomas, you know what you're getting there. But as for the train included, it appears to be random. We received a red train we've never seen before with ours, which is obviously not the one pictured. Luckily it was bought as a gift for a neighbor who was just happy to get any train - our son would have been like "who's this train?"


Your kids will be Glued to the TV, but you won't ! - Rating: 5/5

The program is very silly for Adults, but Kids stay glued to the TV watching the narration of wooden trains! It is very annoying for Adults!
