My two-year old son got this for his birthday (a big Thomas fan) and he hasn't stopped playing with it since. On its own this track is a bit small though (he likes to make a circle of track and sit inside it), so we very soon bought more track to go with it. Note that it's compatible with other (cheaper) wooden railway tracks (e.g. Brio and Ikea), so once you've got a 'Thomas' you don't have to buy the more expensive Learning Curve track to pad the set out. Only gave it a 4 for durability as the paint does get a bit chipped on the trains, but to be honest I can't see how it wouldn't the amount of use it gets.
