For Little Train Conductors Who Want More Speed and Adventure #TrackMaster @ThomasParent

This post brought to you by Fisher-Price. All opinions are 100% mine.

My boys love trains beyond anything right now. They love to build extensive tracks and run their train cars along the winding rails in circles, making Choo Choo! sounds as they go. It relaxes and engages them for hours, and they don’t mind manually pushing those chuggers along endlessly because they love trains so much.

I had no idea there were motorized train sets from TrackMaster™, but once we discovered them, it changed everything.

TrackMaster™ motorized engines engage my sons with tracks that are elevated, go through mountains, spiral downward from over a foot high, and send those trains climbing up and racing down the tracks faster than ever. The boys wanted to put everything together themselves, and completely loved that these trains moved on their own- and never fell off the windy tracks as they sped around. My older son remarked repeatedly, “Mama, these trains go so fast!”

This fall, TrackMaster™ motorized engines have been redesigned with enhanced speed, power and performance to drive Thomas & Friends™ faster and climb higher than ever, and greater speed and taller heights means bigger adventures than ever before. We hosted a Thomas & Friends™ TrackMaster™ party where the kids were able to build up the Thomas & Friends™ TrackMaster™ Avalanche Escape Set with several expansion sets, and our conductors has a blast putting them all together. The details are amazing too (their favorite was the Troublesome Traps, because of the creepy tree- they found it kinda scary).

We added on the Sodor Spiral Expansion Pack, Sort & Switch Delivery Set, and Troublesome Traps Set to make an extensive train set that the boys were wild about, and they were able to do a lot of it on their own (I was on hand to help out with anything a bit more difficult, but that was rare).

The fast motorized engines stirred their imaginations to conjure up the most action-packed playtime story lines ever, and I sat listening to them tell stories for their trains and they sped around, and speak on their behalf. I am kind of loving the conductor caps too, check these out!

This months Thomas & Friends™ Tale of The Brave is going to be available for little engineers everywhere, which I’m thrilled about because frankly my littler dude can’t get enough of Thomas & Friends movies.

  • So I was visiting my sister last weekend and she was commenting how she wished she would have purchased this Thomas train set for her boys instead of a competing brand – so that says something!
