It is a very busy table, not too much space that isn't covered with track, and every bit of track definitely gets used. It can hold a lot more than the 8 trains it comes with, we are currently at 15 trains, the truck, a bus, a helicopter, and an airplane, and I see no reason why it couldn't handle another ten vehicles easily.
One very nice feature of the trains that this comes with is it's very easy to tell which way the polarity runs in the magnets. The wheels look different on each side of the train, on side features nice rounded caps, the other looks like rivets. So long as you see either all rounded caps or all rivets, you know that the polarity is correct and the trains will connect, something that your two year old may not always realize. However, if you will be adding Thomas trains, their polarity is reversed from that of the Melissa and Doug trains. So a Melissa and Doug engine and a Thomas engine will have to face different directions in order to connect. However, the cranes in this set will work with any cargo you can pick up from the Thomas trains.
I highly recommend getting a table for this set, we picked up a Pottery Barn Activity Table at a garage sale which is the exact right size, along with 2 sets of Suretrack Clips 14 Count to use on the elevated tracks, and a roll of 1" wide gaffers tape. Rather than gluing or screwing down the tracks, the gaffers tape works great and will come off without leaving any residue in a few more years when my son is ready to design his own track layouts. It does take a long time to set up, probably took me 5 hours to build everything and tape it down securely, but after the first week of playing and derailments and crashes nothing is coming off the table. The track with the crane has been lifted up a little bit several times, but never completely taken off. I imagine there isn't a whole lot you can do with this piece as it sticks up so high and is functional, but if I have to occasionally retape down one piece its not the end of the world. I have seen a few places on the elevated tracks that seemed a bit weak so I've reinforced them with more tape and they seem to be a lot sturdier. UPDATE: After two and a half months the gaffers tape and Suretrack Clips are holding up perfectly, I've never had to fix a single track, and my son climbs on the table and plays rough.
I'm incredibly happy with this train set, its fantastic quality, and it provides my son with hours of entertainment every day!
My three-year-old son is a Thomas fan (as are we, as we love how well-mannered all the characters are and how the show's focus is on valuing hard work) and had been begging for a train set. We hinted that he might get one for his birthday. After tons of research, it appeared that the Thomas sets were VERY expensive, the KidKraft ones were of mediocre quality, and the M&D ones were...just right. The reviews indicated great quality and compatibility with Thomas. We took a chance and ordered from Amazon.
The set arrived in a large box, which I was able to pick up/drag in by myself. I was able to assemble it by myself in about an hour, no tools necessary. I placed our little wooden Thomas on the track, held my breath, and...it worked! These tracks are PERFECTLY compatible with the Thomas engines. My son woke up from his nap and he was so excited to see this set, he practically peed his pants. It's been over a month now and he still plays with this for about an hour every.single.day.
A couple of things:
1) Suretrack is essential! I purchased two boxes and those were enough to secure the entire track. Without the clips, the track will fall apart during play. Suretrack keeps the whole thing together except for one of the bridges, whcih we fixed by...
2) ...purchasing the Thomas Wooden Railway Stone Drawbridge. Yes, it's about $35, BUT this bridge does not budge. I played around with the configuration until it fit. We have also purchased the Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Deluxe Over - The - Track Signal and this gives it more of that authentic Thomas feel. All the Thomas accesories fit PERFECTLY on the M&D tracks and we look forward to adding Toby's Windmill and Cranky the Crane to this set.
All in all, this has been a wonderful purchase. It is my son's favorite toy, gets tons of use, and we calculate we saved over 50% by using the M&D track, even after purchasing the Thomas engines and accessories. Another awesome product from M&D!
Also, the fact that the trains are magnetic is GENIUS. Whoever thought that the Thomas trains with the itty bitty plastic connectors would be fun for parents and kids to put together deserves to step on a lego. The magnets aren't super strong, but they are strong enough. (For the record, this set is compatible with Thomas sets, but the Thomas trains won't go through the tunnels or bridges (any piece of the track with side walls.)
I keep all the pieces in a bin on wheels under the train table, so they usually pull out the pieces that they want and it keeps it somewhat organized. My youngest kiddo figured out how to make a track by assembling a few pieces together by the time he was 16 months old, and I know this will keep their interest for at least a few more years, so it's well worth the money. :)
