This was bought for my son who was 1 1/2 at the time, He is now 2 1/2 and still enjoys it. My 4 year old also enjoys playing with this with his brother.

This toy is well built and easy to assemble. The toy comes with 5 trains - Thomas, Percy, James, Diesel and Spencer. The Trains start at the top and roll down the winding hills to the bottom straight into Tidmouth Sheds. The is a rock boulder that also chases the trains down the track and well as different obstacles like the bridge.
I think when you initially look at the toy you can see there is a lot to it but you automatically think how much fun can they get out of it. Well my boys can play with this for hours. They always have a laugh and find it funny that the trains are chasing each other whilst speeding down the hill.
Having more recently purchased the Diescast trains and Take n Play tracks, i considered giving this to charity, however both boys still enjoy this so it would be a waste to get rid of.

At the time this was £29.99. I can see that the price has gone up since then to £39.99. I would probably say that although this has provided alot of entertainment and there is a lot to it, I would never pay more than £30.00 for it, so if you can get one second hand in good condition - it's probably better.
