THOMAS & FRIENDS Wooden Railway, Figure 8 Set Expansion Pack

Little hands and imaginative minds become enthralled with playing with this train set. I love to watch their creations. Excellent for children 2 and above.

These provide some important expansions to create a wider variety of tracks than the standard sets. They are a bit pricey, but they open up some new possibilities, so it's worth it to us and our toddler boys.Pretty straightforward other than that. High quality. You get what you see. Either you want it or you don't. :)

I needed some switching pieces to give my son some train options that would fit on his train table. Unfortunately, this was not quite enough for me to switch enough for two overpasses, only one. I will be ordering another one to make both overpasses work for him. I am using it to expand two sets that I have connected together--one Chuggington and one Thomas. It works fine with both.One of the great things about this that I did not notice when I ordered is that one side is train tracks and the other side is flat with a road stripe on it. I will use some for my son's wooden cars that came with another track set. The only downfall is that you cannot flip them over to alternate male-female when building things. However, the gender bender pieces that came with this set were sufficient for that.

This expansion pack is great to have and use with either the Figure 8 set which my son has or the other packs that you can buy. It allows for a significant number of track build variations.

It's a good combination of pieces but quality is not equal to other Thomas track pieces I have.These pieces feel lighter and the edges are sharper. With the other sets I have, the train tracks can be flipped over to reveal a road with a dashed line down the center. These are plain on the back.

We already had the conductor's figure 8 set, and this was a nice add on to that. It annoys me though how the directions show all these fantastic layouts, but you can only do the simplest layout shown with a figure 8 and this expansion set. ugh. They are tempting you to buy yet more track. This makes a figure 8 track slightly more complicated. My 3 year old was excited with it.

I bought this in order to expand our current wooden Thomas figure 8 track. It serves its purpose and my boy (age 3) enjoys the extended track we can now create. Well made and have no issues. He's playing much more often with the train tracks now. Would recommend if you're looking to expand your wooden track collection.

Sadly this product is damaged. The box was intact and looked new but two of the connector pieces had wood sliver chunks out of it. Enough so if affects the motion of the trains.
