If you're looking for a step up from the Brio sets or other push or wind-up Thomases, this is the best one for kids over the age of 4. Thomas' eyes go back and forth as he runs, and the set includes a power supply, Sir Topham Hat and two workers, Annie and Clarabel, two railroad workers, and a nice oval of track. The track is the same track that all of Lionel's new O-gauge sets use, so you COULD start with a Thomas railroad now, add a Polar Express railroad next year, and so on.Also, MANY, inexpensive O-scale accessories and building kits are available from companies like Bachmann (Plasticville), so a very nice railroad is possible for a fairly low sum of money. Or, use ceramic buildings from Dept. 52, Lemax, and Hawthorne Village. (The people are too big, though, except for the people that come with Hawthorne Village sets.) In other words, one set around the tree for the youngsters could grow into any of a dozen hobbies. And, let's face it, for youngsters, Thomas is probably the best introduction to trains of any kind.Paul Race, editor, Big Indoor Trains (tm)

This is a good entry level lionel set. It does comes with Lionel's cheapest 40 watt transformer which does not even have an accessory output however, so if you want to expand your set with lighted buildings, you will need to buy a new transformer. Overall a great product and good value for the money and the kids love it.

Compared to other entry level lionel sets, this is not a good buy -- and that is too bad since Thomas is so popular. Face plate was busted and had to order another from Lionel. Shipped with two of the same passenger cars, so had to send back a car before they would send another. The couplers are flimsy and the cars seperate often. My kido has more fun with real cheap plastic Lionel passenger cars which come with internal lights and passenger profiles in the windows. No bell on the engine, not even a light!..... Not sure why Lionel doesn't up the quality to their normal starter set level, I would certainly pay the extra cost. Lionel cut too many corners on this one.
