Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Splendid James is a larger engine, proud and red but in the beginning at least still with things to learn before he becomes a Really Useful Engine. This James is made of real wood with a three-dimensional face and is linked to his own coal truck with a very strong magnetic coupling. Over the years (and these Thomas trains will have years of play value) these solid wooden trains will prove to be a great investment as they stand the test of time.
James will work happily on the Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway Sets and all other major brand wooden train sets. Suitable for children aged 2 to 6 years. --Victoria Mackenzie
Product Description
A medium-sized engine. He likes to think of himself as a really splendid engine. This can occasionally lead to grandiose ideas about the sort of work suitable for such a noble creature, which invariably lands James in trouble.

My 3 year old (a great Thomas Fan) was given a Flair James as a present. He gives all his wooden engines a hard life! But, I must say the Flair toy has faired much much worst than all his older Brio engines (I understand that Brio no longer make Thomas toys), the paint finish has really flaked and worn away, the toy also appears to be much more flimsily held together -not screwed like the Brio engines and will need to be kept an eye on. Also from a purely 'Dad' perspective, the printing quality of the graphics on the toy are really poor. All in all, it should not be selling for the same price as the Brio version it replaced. Be warned!

James is one of my son's favourite engines and as one of the larger ones it works well as a toy too. The quality of this range is excellent and they are very durable. My son has developed a large collection and spends hours playing with them. I wouldn't recommend spending silly money on branded track - that is widely available elsewhere - but for a Thomas fan this range is so much nicer than the plastic stuff. At the age of 3-6, the non battery powered trains are actaully better as they focus the child more on the play element - making up stories and pushing them around themselves. The more self-driven the train is, the more it is just something to watch, which isn't very involving for a young child for long periods. Mostly they just want to get down on their knees and get involved in the trains at their level. My 7 year old daughter still enjoys playing trains with her brother in this way.
