This train turned out to be a major annoyance!!
No question, it looks great and is neatly put together. However, different from what has been stated here, this train doesn’t integrate well at all with the BRIO, Thomas, etc. tracks. First, it’s too big to pass any tunnels or bridges, so you have to reconstruct your complete layout (not so easy if you use a play table, for example). When trying to go over bridges, the giraffe always leans over and falls out of the wagon. It also has the wrong wheels and as a consequence the train constantly derails, which heavily interrupts the flow of play and leads to continuous frustrations so that our daughter soon gives up playing with it.
It’s too bad that they made such a crappy job on the functionality because the train overall looks very cute! It’s probably better to just play with it without any tracks….

i like this train set. i purchased it for my 3 year old daughter, and she loves it, as expected. in playing with it though, i find it doesnt hook up as well to the thomas cars she has, so she has to play with one set or the other, which, her being 3, pretty much guarantees i have to play with her or separate them out ahead of time. the animals are cute, and overall i do like it, just be aware of the not connecting well issue. i also noted that when you have the track set up to go under the risers (i.e. overpass) the animals have to get out of the train, they are too tall.

This train set is fun for my toddler son because he likes to put the animals in and out of the cars. It doesn’t roll as well as some of his other trains on the wooden track set we have, so I keep it out for him to play with without the track. I would recommend this train if you’re thinking of using it without a track.
