Tomy Track Master Gordon Engine

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General AAS
from: Tomy


This was a Birthday present for my 4 year old. Firstly it caused big fights between my 4 year old and 3 year old as they were both so desperate to play with it.

The track is really good with an inner and outer oval controlled by a set of points you operate manually. The inner oval has a suspension bridge, which although initially fiddly to build the first time, is easy once you get a bit of practice. It comes with a station and a few trees and a small tunnel. There is a section of track where they can stop the train at the section, which proved a big hit.

The steam Thomas was great fun and entertained the boys for ages. My only gripe is the pipet to re-fill Thomas with water split very quickly. Also you go through ... Read More:

Wooden Thomas & Friends: Cranky the Crane

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General AAS
from: Learning Curve


Every kid loves this toy. The crane head rotates in a complete circle (and then back again, not around and around), and the magnet on the rope goes up and down with another crank. Ours has been in use for several years now, and I'm pleased and surprised to report that the string has not broken despite heavy use.

There is one problem with this toy (other than the hefty price). The crane head comes off very easily, and putting it back on is too fiddley for a young child. It's got a round peg which slots into a round hole, but with one slightly flattened edge so it must be lined up just so to work. The adults on hand are called over several times during each play session to reafix the head so play can resume.

Our Cranky has ... Read More:

BRIO 33701 Wooden Railway System: My First Battery Operated Railway Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > General AAS
from: BRIO


My 2 year old loves this but gets very frustrated by the engine which isn't powerful enough to get over the bridge, even when not pulling anything. On the level, it strugles to get along with trucks in tow. This is with brand new batteries.
Are all Brio locos this underpowered?

I agree with the previous reviewer. These trains are not as well made or as durable as the ones which were made by Brio. I too am on the lookout for the few Thomas characters made by Brio we don't have.
