Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Water Tower Figure 8 Set

The Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Water Tower Figure 8 Set is one of the most popular selling Thomas & Friends sets, and is highly recommended for anybody looking to purchase their first Thomas & Friends set.

With the growing number of different types of Thomas & Friends train systems (such as Wooden Railway, Take Along, etc.), it can be very hard to know which one to initially choose. I will be covering each of the different systems as part of another article, but I do recommend that whatever system you do choose, you should stay with that system. Most of the components are not compatible between systems, and it can become expensive if have to buy for multiple systems.

The Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Water Tower Figure 8 Set was my son's first Thomas & Friends toy set. We have since added a number of additional engines and the Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Figure 8 Set Expansion Pack. The expansion set allows you to expand the Water Tower set to a number of other layouts. It includes a booklet showing a number of additional layouts, but I have found that the combination of both sets provides enough track to build a lot more different layouts.

 

Included Parts

The Water Tower set includes all the parts needed to start your Thomas & Friends collection.

• Track to make the figure 8 layout
• Bridge, as shown to the left
• Water Tower that includes simulated water as you move the water spout up and down
• Thomas train and cargo car with cargo
• Fat controller
• Stop sign
• Railway crossing sign
• Tree

Overall, I highly recommend the Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway - Water Tower Figure 8 Set. It is ideal as a starter set for those looking at beginning with the Wooden Railway.
