We all know how much fun it is to play with trains. From little kids to big kids, to even adults, trains hold a sense of imagination and fun that modern day electronic toys just cant master. One of Charlotte’s first “big” toys at Christmas was a train set. Unfortunately for us, it bit the dust in the fire we had last year and hasn’t been replaced. I cant say that Charlotte hasn’t made it a priority every visit to Toys R Us to run to the Thomas the Train demonstration table and spend approximately 1.4 hours playing along, because she has.
There is no doubt that your child knows who Thomas the Train is. Thomas is the heart and soul of many kids and countless isles at the store are dedicated to every accessory known to man for this ultimate train set. We consider Thomas the master of children trains with almost every train set imaginable available for your child to go from adventure to adventure.
That is why we are so excited to bring you something that doesn’t matter if you have a boy or a girl, (or are a big kid at heart yourself) the whole family will love playing with this new set from Thomas. We are excited to introduce you to:
Thomas the Train at Action Cannon:
Cinders and ashes! Thomas at Action Canyon is Thomas’ most exciting adventure yet! This super-big play set was inspired by The Great Discovery and has all the excitement of the DVD. Your child can send Thomas chugging up a steep mountain track, puffing over an old bridge, and zooming down a thrilling mountain canyon! The best part is …kids can press a secret button to make the old bridge collapse and send Thomas rocketing through a waterfall!
Lucky for you, when you visit the website for Thomas Trackmaster “Thomas’ in action” , you and your child can enjoy videos as Thomas works his way around the track and you can glimpse the set in action. You will also find a selection of things for you and your child to work on together; really this site is great for your train enthusiast. There is also the opportunity to play with a virtual game where your little engineer can control Thomas’ every move.

4. Tell us what you love about Thomas & Friends.
I Love the fact that Thomas and friends have been around for so many years and still going strong with young children. Because with the way things are now parents really need positive toys for our children. My son’s great uncles played with Thomas and Friends like 50 years ago when he was a little boy.
Also we are big fans of the “Day out with Thomas” in 2 cities and we make it a big family get together as we live far from some of our families and this makes it enjoyable for the entire family since there’s something there for all ages!
3. What would you like to see Thomas & Friends do more of in the future?
I would like to see the Thomas and Friends “LIVE” in more locations like the Day out with Thomas is. There weren’t any within 200 miles of me and I live within 100 miles of 3 major cities!
2. What are YOUR favorite Thomas & Friends products, show episodes or events?
MY favorite train has got to be Thomas! My favorite Thomas and friends product would have to be the battery operated trains, because this is the ONLY toy that will keep my extremely hyper-active 3 yr. old’s attention for any amount of time. Thank God for Thomas train sets. I just wish he had more to expand to the little one he has.
MY favorite episode is the Halloween DVD however my son broke that DVD =( But the best yet are the Day out with Thomas events we go to twice a year. We go to Mason, OH Railroad in Sept, then we go to Connersville,IN in May. Btw, the Mason Oh. is better =)
1. Who are your child’s favorite Thomas & Friends characters?
My 3 yr. old son, Jalel’s favorite train is James. But he also loves Diesel & Diesel 10. He refuses to go to sleep unless his pillow is facing on the “James” side…
3. What would you like to see Thomas & Friends do more of in the future?
I would like to see Thomas come to more train stations around the country, like he dis when he came to Strasburg Railroad in PA.
MY SON IS 2 AND HE LOVES JAMES AND GORDON AND THOMAS AND TERENCE I LOVE MILKSHAKE MUDDLE AND ALL THE HALLOWEEN EPISODES. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM HAVE LONGER STORIES. WHERE WE ARE AT, THE THOMAS AND TANK ENGINE FRIENDS SHOWS AT 6:30 AM ON SUNDAY WHICH IS A TIME WHEN WE DO NOT WATCH TV SO WE MISS THEM. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THOMAS IS THAT SOME OF THE STORIES ARE FUNNY WHILE TEACHING.
Well…I went to the new Walgreens and no luck on the Thomas and Friends Easter Eggs…I guess I will try Walmart…wish me luck
My three boys love Thomas! He is their very favorite engine. Of course, they love all the engines, but Thomas is by far their favorite.
My kids collect the Take Along Thomas trains. What I think is so funny is that you can rotate their faces so they like to rotate them upside down or sideways..it makes the trains look very funny and the kids find it so hilarious. Who knew such a little train could be so entertaining
Thanks…I will have to go look at walmart. We just barely got a walgreens here so I doubt they would have Thomas Easter stuff or any easter stuff for that matter since they are so new..but I will check them just in case. I just think they would be a great gift for my kids’ easter basket especially since Lady is included in it.
My boys love Gordon. Our favorite episode is Teamwork.
1. KID’s Favorites
William loves Thomas; Johnathan loves Percy; Nathaniel loves Gordon; Matthew loves them all, couldn’t chose a favorite.
2. MY FAVORITE
I love Thomas because he is generally a very good little engine and sets such a good example for behavior.Even when he is bad, he always comes around to do the right thing. No wonder he is Sir Tophamhat’s favorite engine.
My boys love Gordon. Not sure why, but they do.
4. Tell us what you love about Thomas & Friends.
I love the timelessness of Thomas and the innocent joy it brings children, especially mine!
3. What would you like to see Thomas & Friends do more of in the future?
We had a real movie come to town once (at the movie theatre). My son thought he was in heaven. I wish those would come more often!! It was so much fun. They gave Thomas prizes, etc. too.

4. Tell us what you love about Thomas & Friends.
I l♥ve the fact that they have been around since I was a little girl & they are still just as popular. Their items are so sturdy & durable. Wonderful quality products.
My favorite characters are Henry and Gordon, together they make me laugh. For my grandson, he loves Henry and James. He is a HUGE Thomas the Train fan and he got a lot of trains for his birthday and Christmas. We would love to see more adventures going on with the gang! What we love about watching them is that they are fun, they can be sassy but they always look after each other and help each other. My grandson would LOVE to have one of these canyons. Thanks for this opportunity!
1. Who are your child’s favorite Thomas & Friends characters?
My 2 year old loves Gordon. He calls him his best friend. Aiden loves him soooo much that he wanted to see him “go round and round.” Not sure what he was talking about, he walked me to the toilet and explained with delight that Gordon went round and round! Unfortunately, Gordon also went to the sewer.
