Review: Fantastic toys Updates on reviews - My 4 years old son is big fan of Thomas the Train and we have already Thomas and this time I got him Diesel with milk tank and little cart with cow. Train talks and drives. Highly recommend this product. Is made high quality. Update: sins we have all 4 of them. It’s fantastic toy . High quality made. All 4 when they drive they talk to each other. I hope there will be more made of them. We have James, Thomas, Gordon and Diesel with extras. Extra interesting thing is : you can click one to ride on red button and all of them will drive.
Review: Great value for price. - Cams Talking Thomas Friends trains came today. He seems pretty into them. With all toys even characters he'll immediately recognize he won't immediately play with. If it has a printed 2d image he will keep and play with the package. Its a way of visual stimming and seeing them the same as they would on his cartoons. Eventually he'll explore the toys and play with. But takes some time and tryin to show him he'll probly ignore and go off alone. It's probably a lot of over stimulating so he can't fully focus or process and the visual stimming with the packaging is almost like self soothing. He stims when he's extremely excited, hyper, upset or agitated just a way of regulating. He has started paying with the trains while he watches his cartoon. They're neat for only $20 and will talk all together with short conversations and quite a lot of different verbal exchanges. They do drive on their own automatically and talk until u shut them off. So for a autistic child is a lot but very fun too. They also light up their headlights which for my son all lights are a bonus. As other reviewers have pointed out they only run "plain wood tracks" but will run on any flat surface. They do move fast and a lot so if the intent for purchase is seeing them zip down tracks, rather than all over one open are I'd consider all parts required to first. This was not my concern and our long kitchen dining area will suffice. but for young engineers🚂🧑‍✈️ more of issue. Also liked that although Annie and Claribel don't talk their faces and recognizable features made them more individual play pieces. We got him James, "Replacement" Percy and Thomas, and he enjoys playing with all their accompaning parts separately. Which is nice as the plastic hook hitches are very fragile plastic and seem would snap easily off. Could always glue on then tho. All in all exceedingly entertaining and affordable toys for various play for Thomas lover

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ May be defective...we will see
*by P***H on December 28, 2023*

Yup! I got a defective one. The new one that was sent is nothing like the 1st one I was sent and runs like a dream. 3yo son got this for Christmas. We love to play with all types if tracks so its safe to say that we know what to expect when it comes to these type of trains. It's really cool to see the trains talk to each other. And address each other even when at a distance. We only have to of the older looking trains so I don't know if these also communicate eith the baby looking talking thomas trains but here lays the issue. Diesel is one train he didn't have so he was thrilled to get to play with him, but I noticed him becoming very irritated as he was playing. I realized that Diesel kept getting stuck or derailed and upon a quick inspection, I realized that he was riding in a downward slope even when on a level track. So, we deduced that it was either a lemon with smaller front wheels, an axel bent from within, or a poor design. We ordered a replacement and will update the review upon arrival.
