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, ...

Disappointing 8 Nov 2011
By Emma W TOP 500 REVIEWER
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
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.

Good addition to any Thomas Train set 28 Dec 2010
By mamahope - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
I bought this for my son who is 2 and an avid Thomas the Train fan. It works great in that it connects easily to his other Take N Play track pieces.The only problem I ran into with this particular pieces is that when you go by the passenger pick up station on the loop track you push the train over this kind of turning wheel thing that makes the passengers disappear from the passenger pickup station. The problem with this pieces is that the turn table thing sits so high up off the track that it almost derails the train. Also my son never just plays with one train, he is always connecting several trains together usually a good 5 or 6 together at a time. If you try to push more than one train over that turn table all the the other trains derail and become disconnected. Overall though except for this minor fault the station is great.

Nice concept with a few problems 28 Mar 2011
By Adams Family - Published on Amazon.com
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
I like the fact that this folds up into a compact design. My son has already taken it to a friend's house and on a trip, and that was the purpose. However, I was disappointed with a few design flaws. For one, to make the passengers disappear or reappear, you have to press down pretty solidly for a toddler. It's not a natural movement. Also, the very short connector pieces near the elevated section sometimes fold and have to be pressed down again. My big complaint, though, like the Tidmouth Tunnel, is that there is no way out of the station. Once the train is on the loop, it can't exit without either picking up the train or slightly derailing it. It is terribly difficult to turn a train that has more than just an engine. Even the larger engines with tinderboxes, like Gordon or Hiro, don't really work on the curves because they're too long. It seems they need to go back to the drawing board on this one.

Terribly designed track 29 Dec 2011
By Dragondelpaz - Published on Amazon.com
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
Very disappointing.

This is a very badly designed Thomas set. The track is designed very badly. Trains can come into this set, but can't leave. Look carefully at the two entry points. Trains can enter, but then can't make the turn to get out. My little one is very frustrated. What's the point of a set that connects to other train sets but you can never get there?

A lot of the Fisher Price Take n Play sets all suffer from very bad track design. It's almost as if the designers never really got down on their hands and knees and tried it out. It's very disappointing because the trains themselves are awesome. The design team obviously put a lot of love into the trains, but the tracks are nowhere near as good. Fisher Price is supposed to be an excellent brand that means quality. All of the tracks need to be redesigned and fixed.

Please fix it! We want great Thomas sets :)
