Customers like the size of the toy vehicle set. They mention it's the perfect size, fits thomas trains just fine, and is larger and heavier than it looks. The wooden rails are a standard size, so all the Thomas & Friends wooden track accessories fit well together.

It doesn't take up much space and doesn' t require a PhD to put it together. They love the wood touch, and say it' s perfect and doesn’ t have rough edges and ill-fitting ends like in some other sets.

My only complaint would be about the trains that came with the set and some minor derailment issues. While the trains that come with this do connect to the Thomas & Friends engines they don't connect very strongly to them and seem to disconnect when "zooming" over the bridge. They do seem to stay together though if is just the two of them. They also do seem to derail when "zooming" over the bridge whether they are alone or linked together. If the Thomas & Friends engines are left alone they don't seem to experience derailment when going down the bridge but if you are trying to do more than one engine at once, they do tend to derail when pushed down the bridge. If you are just chugging two or three of them along smoothly derailment doesn't usually occur. I haven't noticed derailment on any other part of the tracks.
Overall this is a great purchase for the money! It is much more reasonably priced than something similar from the Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway (yet it is compatible with it). I would absolutely buy it again and recommend it to others!
My actual rating would be 4.5
The wooden rails themselves are a standard size, so all the Thomas & Friends wooden track accessories and trains she had fit perfectly. (We've since added Toby's Windmill and the Track Signal to the set.) In fact, the only complaint I have is that the little red train and caboose that come with the set don't stay on the rails very well. They derail just about every time my daughter sends them down the bridge, but the Thomas trains seem to have larger wheels that help keep them on track.
Regardless, you won't find a better starter set for a child who has an interest in trains - it's just the right size and price, and it's flexible enough that if your child really enjoys it, you can always buy new items/rails to expand it. I highly recommend it for any train-loving toddler.
