## Overview

The Mattel Thomas & Friends Talking Thomas & Percy Train Set features motorized engines that interact with each other through realistic sounds and phrases. With customizable track switches and iconic Sodor locations, this set encourages imaginative play for kids aged 3 and up. Compatible with other Thomas & Friends sets, it offers expandable fun and early developmental benefits in creativity and coordination.

## Description

Sodor is usually an island in the middle of the ocean, but sometimes, with the Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends Talking Thomas & Percy Train Set, Sodor can also be in the living room. This highly detailed playset features favorite places from the island of Sodor, including the Vicarstown Bridge, the Railyard, the Brendam docks, and Blue Mountain. It also includes motorized Thomas and Percy train engines who recognize and talk to each other when they meet on the track! Young conductors can help Thomas and Percy work together by dropping boulders down in the Blue Mountain cave for them to load and unload along with other cargo at Bulstrode the boat and by creating their own exciting adventures all around Sodor.

Review: I bought this set for my almost 5 yr old son. We both had fun assembling it and bonus was Talking Thomas and Talking Percy who while running their daily errands take time to stop and talk to each other when they meet at the tracks. One thing, as I noticed one reviewer below has also said and I second that - there should have been a small S4 or S1 straight track to put between the two TU4s to make it look like an actual Tunnel - I have so many trackmaster tracks that it was easy for me to join that in. That being said it is my son's one of the favourite tracks and he runs his collection of trackmaster engines on them like anything. The switching of tracks is very important so that trains do no crash and as such it becomes somewhat repetitive after a while but it is very entertaining. I would have given this set 4 stars only because I personally felt it was priced way too high, somewhere around the range of $55 would have been okay.
Review: On time delivery for my kid surprise gift. Kid loves it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The trains stopped working with new batteries less than a week later. We can press the on button, the whistle will play as if it's going to work?**
A: I found that the if you are using rechargeable  type batteries, the trains don't always work. If you are using the .regular type batteries which are new and the problem happens, I would call the company.

**Q: What is the difference between SI o c and standard?**
A: SIOC/FFP (Ships In Original Container/Frustration Free Packaging).

**Q: do they make thamas and percy extra track?**
A: Yes my niece has a low pile rug and it worked fine.

**Q: I received this as a gift, off Amazon, it came missing a couple parts. Also, the initial track setup option is physically  impossible to make.**
A: I recommend to contact Amazon. As far as the set up my son in law did it.
