Which trains do you use for wooden train track?

Posted on 22. Feb, 2011 by Toy Expert.

We are planning on buying a Circo brand wooden train track set from Target for my son for Christmas, but we are confused about which trains work on it. We know that it is compatible with Thomas the Train engines, but is it the wooden ones or can you use the little metal ones? Any help is appreciated!

Looking for party ware that isn't Thomas the Train?

Posted on 20. Feb, 2011 by Toy Expert.

I’m planning for my son’s birthday party which is train themed. I’ve been looking all over for paper plates, napkins, etc. that have trains on them, but that are not Thomas the Train. Any suggestions on where else to look? Someone’s got to have them! I don’t have much time to order anything online, so a local store would be awesome. Thanks for any suggestions!
I’ve checked our local party store (Party America/Party City), Toys R Us, Walmart, Target, Kmart, Shopko, our Grocery Store, Oriental Trading, & BirthdayExpress.com…

can someone tell me about toy train sets?

Posted on 06. Dec, 2010 by Toy Expert.

a relative got my <2 year old a train table for christmas and another is getting him a train set…a normal wooden one. what’s the difference between all the brands? do they all have a standard size (like could you use thomas trains on a circo (the target brand) wooden track) or are they all different and only some fit with certain ones? my mom said there are two different sizes of tracks, so …um… what are they and how do you tell? or is that not the case at all? haha. I’m completely clueless and have to go shopping for the train set for that relative because they can’t get out of the house easily…so any help would be greatly appreciated.

BQ: what train set do you have for your child?
BQ2: if you celebrate the holidays, do you have a "big ticket" item for your child? what is this years?

Mice supplies: 100$ for cage, food, and mice and 50$ for toys…?

Posted on 18. Oct, 2010 by Toy Expert.

For Christmas my dad said he would give me 250$ to spend. I plan on putting 100$ in the bank, letting my dad spend 50% on mice toys and supplies and I spend 100$ on a 50$ cage, food, and anything else which includes new cat toys or something for each of my cats (three: 1 cat and 2 kittens)

This is what I want…

With the 50$ what I want so far is some more of the plastic tubing
What else?

I will show you the cage I want:

http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Level-Hamster-Rodent-Gerbil-Rat-Mouse-Cage-S2910B_W0QQitemZ110308279004QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item110308279004&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

That’s teh cage I want. There are several listings on ebay there and I love that one. It comes with a lot of tubing but I want a little more. I have a ton of toys already. I have tubing of the ends of paper towels and toilet paper. I have fisher price blocks, soft blocks from the dollar section of target but I got at the thrift store. I have a tunnel for Thomas the train, I have a hiding place made for dora the explorer, I have a purse like thing for a hiding spot and several plastic round long containers for a place for them to climb in, cat toys with bells, and lots of other things.

I want things colorful, fun, and things you know they like. Not neccisarily toys but treats and things like that too.

I will be getting 3-6 mice. Probably 4 or 5.

Also show me cat toys and treats your cats and kittens love.

My sons christmas train won't work, need help :)?

Posted on 01. Aug, 2010 by Toy Expert.

Not sure how to fix it or find instructions it’s a Santaland 4 piece set I looked it up on google and found one just like it on Target.com.

http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/601-5983251-9366507?asin=B000AB0QXK&AFID=MSN&LNM=B000AB0QXK|New_Bright_181_Toy_Christmas_Train&ref=tgt_adv_XPSD0500

Anyone have this train set? If so do you have the instructions? does it say anything if it does not work?

It does not take batteries it plugs into the wall with a control panel that slides underneath the track.

It’s new to us but we bought it second hand as it is much older and somewhat of an antique although it’s never been used it does not have instructions.
