My son is 3 and loves our trains. Since he loves Thomas we picked up a new Bachmann Thomas set. The quality is very nice. I also have the old Lionel version and the Bachmann is much better. I only wish it had a front light, but that's easy to fix.
One thing we didn't expect was how dang fast Thomas is. You have to be careful. In my sons bedroom I installed a train around the ceiling so we could run an LGB 2-4-0. He wanted to try out Thomas and at about 60% it was much faster than the LGB. At 70% it went flying off the track! It's nice to know that even after an 8' fall Thomas was not damaged.
This may be the worlds fastest production G scale train. Good job Bachmann!
