Tomy Musical Bubble Thomas

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains
from: Tomy


I bought this for my 2 year old nephew for Christmas and he is a massive fan of Thomas as well as bubbles (which kid isn't!?).

This toy doesn't move along very well on carpet and I read in another review that on wooden flooring it can get slippery so they could both be a problem perhaps, there is a little switch to stop it from moving around which is good. I also wish there was a switch to turn the music off because it can get annoying after a while.

However my major concern is that after a week and a half the toy is already broken. The minimum age for this toy is 18 months and children of that age tend to play with their toys abit roughly - perhaps this could have been taken into consideration being such a delicate ... Read More:

Scalextric Start! Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains
from: Scalextric


This is about the cheapest scalextric kit that you can buy and there is a good reason for it. It is because you cannot really do anything with it. It gives you a good feel for the dimensions of the cars and track and initiates the mouth-watering potential of the fun that can be had from racing scalextric's slot cars, but nothing else. I would recommend it as a starter kit if you intend to buy extra pieces of track and cars to expand the set, like I do, but if you want an out-of-the-box race system then I would suggest that you take a look at some of the other kits.

My 1st Scalextric Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains
from: Scalextric


7 months ago I bought this Scalextric for my granddaughters, 4 yrs and 6 yrs old, to play with when they visit. It has been a great success. Visiting 6 to 10 year olds also loved it.

None of the children have problems putting the cars on the track themselves, partly due to the magnets that help hold the cars on the track. The cars go at incredible speeds (10 laps in 12 seconds). At full throttle they will fly off, but that is all part of the skill and fun - keeping them on the track so you win! My cars were not damaged when they came off but a couple of cushions strategically placed would make sure there was no damage. I have had no problems with cars being stopped by the track. One car developed a fault and Scalextrix replaced ... Read More:

Take Along Thomas & Friends - Work & Play Engine Shed Playset

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains
from: Learning Curve


I bought this for my son's 2nd birthday and it was an instant hit. Now nearly a year later it is his favourite toy and he can't put it down. He loves putting the track together and pushing the trains around making up stories. We've recently bought him some more track which was urgently needed. With Christmas coming he keeps asking for more track still and more of the trains to add to his collection. It is very durable and an excellent toy to take away as the trains and the track all pack away inside. I will definitely be buying more of the 'take along' playsets to add to this one.

Take Along Thomas & Friends - Toby

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains
from: Learning Curve


For some reason one of our sons favourites is Toby. This is a great piece and i notice he plays with it a lot. Pity there is no windmill to go with one of the Toby stories (yes i know, like you no doubt...i too am forced to watch them). There is one thing to be aware. this is one of the heavier take along pieces, so if you child is prone to the odd mood to rocket launch toys, you would be advised to steer clear of this, its about double the weight of a normal take along train. the colouring, painting and moulding is spot on on realism.

Take Along Thomas & Friends - Curved & Straight Track Pack

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains
from: Learning Curve


My son has the take along engine sheds and this extra track is a must to add onto this. Very easy for my two year old to put together and very durable. Comes with adapters so that it can fit the more up to date version of the track that some of the take along sets now come with.

Electronic Wooden Train Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Trains
from: Halsall


Great starter trainset! It doesn't say in the details above that it's Brio/ELC compatible, but it is, meaning you can mix and match with other stuff. My son loves it! Will also be buying it as Christmas present for godson.
