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.

My son just watched the video and is so tickled at how similar the actual toy is to the online game.
My son wants you to know how much he loves the Thomas at Action Canyon game on the Trackmaster website.
Percy is our favorite!! We can’t wait for “Day out with Thomas” this year. Last year was our first of what I’m sure will be many.
I love the lessons as well, I see Andy playing the story lines out with not only his toys, but with his brother sometimes!
I would love this set because we have No day out with Thomas events near us, but I would use this for my boys birthday gift so he could have his own day out with Thomas, every day!
Yet again, today Andy asked to play “TomToms waterfall” and asked when Percy could play too! Hopefully soon buddy
Zach has been loving his thomas flashlight book…he has gotten it out everyday for the past week!
I love that Thomas and Friends has such a positive message about working hard, being useful, being a good friend. I love that the trains help my boys learn about relationships, colors, and numbers. I love how my children can use their imaginations when they set up all of their train tracks.
I love that Thomas is practically an honorary member of our family!
I would like to see more Thomas and Friends books to share with my kids.
In our house, we love the Thomas and Friends storybook. We also love the DVD Races, Rescues and Runaways.
My three sons love all of the Thomas and Friends trains… but Thomas is the one they all fight over. I also have a son named Henry, so Henry is also popular with him.
My son’s fav. train is of course Gordon. The episode he watches over and over again still is actually the life-action movie introducing Lady. Perhaps its easier for him to remember the name of it. But now that trains faces move with their voices he might change his mind.
#4 I too love that T.&F. have been around for ever. I love that they are so kid friendly with the workmanship and that they still do tons of their toys in wood.
They are classics in my book.
I love all the Thomas and Friends movies. They are entertaining AND teach a simple lesson.
My kids LOVE Percy.
It’s so fun watching my kids play with their Thomas Cards. We got Joey a set of Thomas playing cards for his stocking last Christmas. I love watching them play gold fish…it is so cute! My Emma gets so excited every time she gets a match
I also love the flip switch on this track, to send them on a different direction. These play sets are endless, you could build & build and never repeat the same design if you wanted!
Andy asks if Thomas would share his canyon, with Percy. I told him unless Percy was cheeky, I’m sure Thomas would love to share =)
Oh, how we need this Action Cnayon!! Andy keeps bringing Percy to the computer & asking to show him TomToms waterfall!!
the boys say their favorites are Percy and Gordon
