My son really enjoyed these Thomas sets when he was a little kid. We must have spent hundreds of dollars on them. Unfortuantely, we sold them all at a garage sale a few years ago for pennies.

I live in a railroad town, Thomas the Tank Engine is extremely popular. I’m glad there are still pure things for children to enjoy. Though I have to admit I grow tired of watching the same Thomas the Tank Engine video after the second repeat in a row.

My son and daughter are enjoying their Thomas the Tank Engine set now. I doubt if it will be worth anything when they are done with it, though! Kids are sure rough on toys. C’est la vie!

Many years ago, I used to read Thomas the Tank Engine books to my children, and now decades later, they are reading them to their children. My grandson loves to play with his Thomas the Tank engine wooden trains, which sometimes seem to be threatening to take over my daughter’s house.

I always enjoyed the books, both because they are great stories, and also because each story carries a nice moral or lesson without being heavy handed.

Oh, I loved Thomas the Tank Engine when I was a kid … we had all the original books, and I practically learned to read with those. My kids have a fair number of Thomas the Tank Engine models, but they’ve never quite clicked for them somehow.

And to show my age; I remember the original TV episodes, where Ringo Starr was Mr. Conductor, not George Carlin!

Hi Steve,

My son, who’s 11 now, had a huge wooden Thomas layout we started putting together for him when he was 3. Unfortunately, most of it has been used and abused and lost over the years. I wish we had preserved some of it better for him but he did have a lot of fun playing with them.

hi Frank, My four year old son is a Thomas fan. If it was up to him, we’d be broke, but we’d have a house full of Thomas trains. Thomas toys do seem to come at a premium, but they make the kids happy. We went with the (die cast I think) metal version trains. The metal trains seem to be bullet proof. They’re heavy too, so don’t give to a little kid that spontaneously throws stuff in your general direction. Wooden trains might be a better option for those kids. ~ Steve
