Review: Son loves it - Great bit of kit. My son loves it. It packs away into a neat box. The box and the lid are both part of the track, which is a nice space saver. It's well built, and the track goes together nice and easily. Great value for money. Lots of different colours, which my son likes the look of. Functionality-wise it's great as you can use it with other Thomas tracks, and there are lots of different configurations you can use. DOES NOT include a train, this is an expansion kit (or buy a train separately). My son has a few different tracks which are much smaller but included trains. Review: A fantastic way to introduce young children to the world of trains - This Thomas & Friends track set is a fantastic way to introduce young children to the world of trains and imaginative play. The sturdy track pieces are easy for little hands to connect, and the included engines are well-made and durable. The set encourages creativity as children build their own tracks and send their favorite engines on adventures across Sodor. It's a great way to spark their imagination and develop fine motor skills. While it's a bit pricey, the quality and hours of fun it provides make it a worthwhile investment for any Thomas fan. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months - Kids can build out their Thomas & Friends toy train railway with this 48-piece track expansion set - 3 suggested layouts + endless possibilities Includes straights, curves and ascending track pieces compatible with other Thomas & Friends train sets (Engines & train sets sold separately and subject to availability.) - 2-in-1 bucket Lid and bucket can be used as train crossings in kids’ track layouts then used as a storage container for all track pieces - Track pieces, accessories and play pieces are compatible with any Thomas & Friends train set, except wood (Train sets sold separately and subject to availability.) - Encourages imaginative play and storytelling for preschool kids ages 3 years and up ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BN6PZFG2 | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Age range (description) | Kid | | Battery Description | requires 2 AA batteries | | Best Sellers Rank | 22,071 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) 52 in Kids' Play Trains & Trams | | Brand | THOMAS & FRIENDS | | Brand Name | THOMAS & FRIENDS | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 980 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Fine Motor Skill, Imagination Development, Creative Thinking | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00194735147380 | | Included Components | Race Track, Toy Train | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 81.7 x 150.4 x 27.7 centimetres | | Item Weight | 632 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 81.7 x 150.4 x 27.7 centimetres | | Manufacturer | Mattel | | Manufacturer Part Number | HNP81 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 2 Jahre Gewährleistung | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Maximum Age Recommendation | 1188.0 | | Minimum Age Recommendation | 36.0 | | Model Number | HNP81 | | Number of Batteries | AA batteries required. | | Number of Players | 1 | | Operation Mode | manual | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Scale | HO | | Set Name | The Trenino Thomas | | Size | One Size | | UPC | 194735147380 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Images ![​Thomas & Friends Connect & Build Track Bucket, 34-Piece Set | Assorted Track & Play Pieces Including Straights, Curves & Ascending, Bucket & Lid For Storage & Building, HNP81 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712k66rbHjL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What size batteries do the trains use?** A: The trains use 2 AAA batteries. **Q: Compatible with tomy trains?** A: Yes **Q: Are these compatible with motorized walking bridge set?** A: Yes.
