Product Description

Product Description

This portable Take-n-Play playset is styled as Knapford station and comes with a durable Victor die-cast engine. Unfold the bottom and back of the play set to reveal a full oval track with ramp, complete and a passenger pickup area. When the engine is rolled up to the passenger pickup area, the passengers behind the window will disappear as if the engine has picked up the passengers. Next time the train is pushed by, the passengers will appear in the window as if they were dropped off. The 2 crossing gates at the top of the ramp can be raised to allow the train to free wheel down the ramp and out through the green doors. The set will also connect to other Take-n-Play playsets and is compatible with all die-cast trains.

Since 1930, Fisher-Price has been in business to create toys that fascinate and stimulate a child's imagination. Fisher-Price was founded in 1930, hardly the best time to launch a new business as the shadows of the Depression still loomed over American business. Still, Herman Fisher, Irving Price and Helen Schelle combined their diverse manufacturing and retailing experience to create a toy company and confidently brought 16 wooden toys to the International Toy Fair in New York City. The whimsical nature and magical surprises of those first Fisher-Price toys quickly caught on and became the hallmarks of Fisher-Price ever since. Fisher-Price believes in the potential of children and in the importance of a supportive environment in which they can grow, learn, and get the best possible start in life. Fisher-Price supports today's families with young children through our breadth of products that includes GeoTrax, Imaginext, Little People, Laugh and Learn, Thomas the Tank, Thomas and Friends, Elmo, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Sesame Street, Smart Cycle, ...

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing 8 Nov 2011
By Emma W TOP 100 REVIEWER
Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
This is a strange design to say the least, and unfortunately it is not all that successful. First the good bits - it has the familiar glazed arches you see over the platforms on the tv series, it can be connected to other take n play sets or track, and it comes with a die cast Percy. It has six "platforms" and what looks like a waiting room and when the engine goes over a special piece of track, they disappear from the waiting room as if they have boarded the train. It also has three large gates. It requires no batteries and best of all, it folds up neatly so it doesn't take up loads of room when you put it away.

Now the bad bits - there are three bits of track which serve the six platforms, but the middle one just kind of peters out. The track goes fairly steeply uphill to the waiting room which to my mind is just odd. It has to do this in order to house the box containing the mechanism for the disappearing passengers, but I don't think the end justifies the means. And gates across the front of the station is also strange to my mind. As is collecting passengers from a waiting room up a hill away from the platforms. Finally (and this one is hard to explain unless you are familiar with the problem) depending on which way you engine travels around the track, it can get stuck in a loop, unable to exit the station without fudging a turn around an impossibly tight corner, or reversing out.

You may say that the downsides I have listed probably irritate the parent more than they do the child, and you would probably be right. However these sets are fairly expensive, so I had hoped for better design. If you don't have Thomas and Friends Take-n-Play Cranky At The Docks Playset, go for that instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun! 18 July 2012
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
We bought this set for my younger brother's birthday as we already had 'Percy's Mail Delivery' take n play. It arrived on time and in perfect condition. Although it did have the downsides that 'Emma W' stated in her review, it fits nicely with the other track, is extremely durable (my brother has thrown it around several times during a tantrum) and the 3 year old seems to enjoy it, so I can't complain!
Great set, great fun, great value!

My children are avid fans of Thonas the Tank Engine and friends. The take and play system is so fantastic as the children get a great playset with track and adults quickly regain space when it's packed away!
Great for holidays - take it with you and some trains and kids are happy!Thomas and Friends Take-n-Play Cranky At The Docks Playset
