Review: My 4 years old son is big fan of Thomas the Train and we have already Thomas and this time I got him Diesel with milk tank and little cart with cow. Train talks and drives. Highly recommend this product. Is made high quality. Update: sins we have all 4 of them. It’s fantastic toy . High quality made. All 4 when they drive they talk to each other. I hope there will be more made of them. We have James, Thomas, Gordon and Diesel with extras. Extra interesting thing is : you can click one to ride on red button and all of them will drive.
Review: Le encanto a mi hijo porque interactua con otros personajes de Thomas. La diferencia es que viene en inglés, pero eso no le importo a mi niño de 4 años porque de igual menera lo juega día y noche.
