Hit Toys - Thomas at Tidmouth Sheds

The shed falls apart every time my four-year old even tries to send a train through. It does not help that he has a younger brother who breathes on it, and the shed falls. Even though the remote train is cool, the shed falling down every two seconds is a pain.

My 3 year old really enjoys Tidmouth sheds. Assembly was easy. It would be nice if the track set came with more switches so it can be expanded for use with multiple trackmaster sets. Overall an A+++ hit with my kid. Highly recomended for Thomas fans. It's even fun for the adults.

After reading the previous reviews I was afraid the sheds were going to be falling apart on a daily basis. This was not the case. There have been a few "train crashes" that broke the sheds apart, but the overall fun my son has had far outweighs the hassle of putting the sheds back together. My son thinks the roundhouse turntable is the most fun and plays with it for hours at a time.

Great product for the money!!!
My son loves this toy! It is a little flimsy but a little glue in the joints fixed that problem.

I just purchased this toy for my younger sons 4th birthday because he always wanted me to build Tidmouth Sheds out of Legos. Well, I read the reviews, bought some Super Glue and ordered it anyway. My kids were so excited when it arrived. I took a deep breath and started the assembly. I PUT IT TOGETHER IN 7 MIN with NO problems and NO glue (the directions said it would take 30 min). Yes, I'm mechanically inclined. I followed the directions, it snapped together perfectly and hasn't fallen apart once. I have two boys (8 and 4) and even with their rough play all has been well.

The tracks are sturdy, chunky plastic and connect easily. The roundtable moves smoothly with little hands. The shed doors never fell off, they are connected well. The bridge is simple to assemble. The remote control is chunky as well and is easy to hold. The buttons are in just the right place so it's not awkward to handle. The only music that plays is the Thomas melody when your child presses the button on the remote. The other button is the trains whistle. The face changing is easy to turn on or off with a switch of a button under certain tracks. Occasionally the face will not change completely after rolling over the special tracks (looks creepy) but easy to fix. Be well stocked in AAA batteries (takes 6 total). All of our motorized trains work fine on this track. The directions say ONLY PICK UP BY TURNTABLE not by the roof. I plan to never take the shed down, but just store the turntable and shed in tact.

You may wish to order the Expansion Pack for more fun. If you already own the old blue tracks be sure to guard the two Special Connector peices that are included.

I feel GREAT about this purchase.
