I am thinking of getting this for my Christmas village. How would this size train fit with the Dept 56 and Lemax Christmas village house?

I tried this train....it simply would not stay on the track nor would the cars remain coupled.

hello, it went with this train set: http://www.amazon.com/Holiday-Express-Animated-Electric-Train/dp/B0006KQGWA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383262354&sr=8-1&keywords=holiday+express+train

It is compatible with the wooden trains.. Not sure about the tracks.. The best gift we've gotten so far for our son. We got it for Christmas and has not stopped using it since ..

This train works nicely with a any tree. It just wouldn't come out from the trunk of a larger tree. If you want the track larger you could use some of the straight track. The train is rather fragile so it is not a child's toy. I bought it from my grandson and then they used it around the tree.

Yes the track fits with some thought, but I suggest you get the TrackMaster FlexiTrack kit also (about ten $) that really makes it easier to put tracks together, esp. for little kids. Also, I'd get one of these and then the Talking Sodor Sounds Track Pack, then buy one of the cheaper trains... or one on sale. (Trackmaster Talking James is always a hit with the kids and usually a good price. Of course, they love Percy but he seems to be costly unless on sale.Kids would rather have 2 different trains instead of two Thomas' trains, and there's usually one on sale here at Amazon.

It is designed for the self-powered Trackmaster trains. I think the wheel base on the wooden and die cast trains is smaller so they would not work correctly. Also, the structure would probably not be sturdy enough for the child-propelled (by hand) trains without a lot of repairs.

Idk... We have Thomas wooden railroad and Thomas track master and it works just fine. Both with the Thomas tracks and trains.

I use it for our dept 56 Christmas display and it adds so much more to it, easy set up...I scale it using the size of the village doors vs the doors of the trolley and they look proportional in scale....Good luck and happy holidays!

I do not have ready access to the streetcar unit itself. It is presently stored with the Christmas decorations. I researched this purchase before making the commitment because I also wanted a train or streetcar type unit that would fit into the Dickens Christmas Village character. I set up this streetcar, associated track and it's streetcar maintenance unit and it appears to be an excellent match in scale and speed of operation. The streetcar will move from the storage unit to the opposite end of the track and automatically return. The speed of the streetcar is also adjustable and I would recommend this set for anyone having a Dickens Christmas village scene. I do not have ready access to the streetcar unit itself.

Hi there- I think the Trackmaster trains maybe a little wider than the wooden trains that are usually used on these tracks. I hope that helps.

Yes, it should. Over the past three years, I have bought my son several different wooden train track sets, and all of them go together just fine. Some pieces may be a bit more snug than others, but it should be fine. No problems that my son and I have ran into yet regarding wooden train track sets.

It will. I found it was a little low on DC power to fully power the train. It doesn't overload though.

No, it is a plastic motorized Train and will not fit on wooden tracks, I am not sure it will fit on trackmaster tracks either (thomas motorized plastic)

The tracks will lay flat on low pile carpet - just make sure to use the clips they provide in-between each section of track. Your kids will love it - our kids loved the train and used it with the Cowboy / Fort set (picture bandits and Native Americans attacking the train) and also the House / Town set (not quite so exciting - family from the "big house" on the hill go down to the town).

Can't really say....the track is wooden with interlocking pieces. I don't know what the Chuggington wooden trains wheels are like and the width between the wheels to be able to fit on the tracks, sorry.

Looks perfect with my village from Lowe's. I added a lot of extra track, more than 20 feet, and it will still work. It is very fragile, however, and won't run if there is any dust on the tracks. I find it actually works best if it allowed to run continuously, which I can do because my village is on a room-length ledge and out of the way. The shed for the controls IS ugly and too big, but I have mine hidden in a "snow tunnel." You can remove the controls from the shed, which makes them easier to hide. It does not come with much track but extra track (curved and straight) is easy to find. Looks perfect with my village from Lowe's.

Pretty sure learning curve & fisher price thomas are the same. But as long as it's wooden railway, it will fit.
