Thanks much. It is a nice set... missing the tipper car but that's not
important to my 3-year-old. It was a grab bag with a great big baseplate, the
train, a <set:2629>, some big building pieces (see next post) and a giant pile
of Playmobil - not to go to waste! - for $30 Cdn. I was ecstatic to find the
full oval of track present. I'm going to keep an eye out for some points and a
crosstrack or bridge to make it do something besides go round and round. My
engineer tends to derail it frequently though... it doesn't seem like she's
being overly rough, but the wheels keep jumping the rails. Maybe just a little
practice is in order.
Cheers, Heather
