My son was over the moon, when he received Gordons coaches. Gordon now whizzs around the track towing his express trucks.
Thank you.

Nice cars, but...

I bought my three-year-old son the express coaches (there's two cars in the pack) for Christmas. They're very durable, and they have independent front and back wheels, so they handle curves well for their length (they're quite long cars.) Their height, though, can be a problem if you're train encounters a change of grade (going up or down hill.)
My son insists on his train in a specific order, and that order has the coaches together. On the Figure-8 track, the tops of the cars hit each other when going up the hill, causing the cars to separate. It's such an inconvenience that my son separates all cars so they go over the hill one-at-a-time. The height is not a problem going under the bridge though.
They're very rugged (a must for my son) and work very well on flat track (I haven't experienced any problems with curves yet) but for track that rises or lowers there's a significant problem with having these two cars adjacent on the train.

My 4 year old son is a huge Thomas fan, and loves these express coaches because he loves Gordon, who pulls them in the television series. The quality level is high as it is for all the other Thomas stuff. No complaints there.
The only problem with these cars is that they are really long. Great if you have a lot of track, but their length means that they don't manouver well on a short track with lots of sharp corners. Best on a track the size of the Thomas table or larger.
Overall good, though.

My obsessed four year old son loves Thomas and Friends. He has been asking for these for a while and every place we look they are sold out or not sold at all. Finally found here and bought one immediately. They came packaged nicely and my son loves them. Great addition to your thomas train set.
