wooden train set Jan 22, 2009
By Lauren E. Murray
I bought this for my son because I know there is no lead paint in Melissa and Doug products. He loves the train itself. However, 3 of the trains, the passenger ones are longer than most train cars and have wheels that pivot, this causes problems when trying to move the train on the tracks. My 3 year old gets frustrated because these three train cars are always coming off the track. He got these for Christmas and now, almost a month later, he no longer wants to use the three troublsome cars.

 A sturdy, good looking train that has a couple of design problems. Mar 30, 2009
By tmkreutzer
As one other reviewer has already pointed out, the cars are quite long and its easy for them to come off the track on sharp corners.
The other issue is the way they are constructed, with pivoting trucks at the bottom of the train attached to the body by rivets. The bottom parts of the rivets hang down under the train and catch on places where the tracks are not completely level. Any track joint that sticks up a little bit or a countersunk screw that is not completely flush hits the train and makes it come off the rails. One could say the problem is with the track and not the train, but my son's set has several different brands of trains and this is the only set that has a problem on the track.
I was excited to find a modern looking train to add to my son's set, but I do not think this train was the best choice. I don't recommend it, especially for younger kids who get frustrated when things don't work right.

 Old Fashioned Fun Sep 17, 2010
By Kathleen C. Juras
Toy train set was purchased for my 2 yr old son who LOVES trains. The trains offer just the right amount of interaction, fun and learning without being overwhelming.
I love that the trains are wooden, come in a case with compartments and have magnets to connect each together.
My son totes this toy all around town with him!

Great Item Jan 11, 2010
By A. Miller
These are very high quality in my opinion. My son is rather rough on them and they have held up great. They work wonderfully on the track and look like they are going to hold up to many years of play.

 solid but need more connection support Jan 09, 2010
By Vanster
I got this train set and the figure 8 track for my 3 yr old nephew. He loves trains but plays with this only occasionally, probably in part because he has tons of other toys in addition to this. He seems to like it but he gets frustrated when the trains don't all stick together if you try to hook up all 6. After pulling it across the short track and around the bends, one train in the middle will quickly fall off track and break the set. So, we've found that if he only has two to connect together, he gets less frustrated. The other 4 just seem to get left on the tracks and not pulled along.
