does it include the thomas engine?

It comes with a motorized thomas engine and box car. When he drops thru the abandoned mine he rescues the King's gold crown in his caboose. Very cool train set.

It has Thomas train which runs with battery and a trailor which u can attach to the train

Yes it does include a motorised Thomas, which is a bit silly because in the film "Rocket" Stephen is the one that finds the crown.

Yes it will. We have Melissa and Doug trains and also the smaller Thomas engines.

No it's too big for the Thomas tracks, but it does come with it's own track.

Nope, this train is much bigger. It's a stand-alone toy. I will say, however, my son loves this train as much as he loves his Thomas trains/tracks. He just plays with it differently.

I do not have any of those tracks, so I can't tell you for sure if they do or not. I do have a Thomas the Tank Engine set and an old Brio set.

Yes, the cargo car does disconnect from the Thomas engine - they are connected by the two-way magnets that are standard for Thomas engines and cars. The Thomas engine is the same size as standard wooden Thomas engines. Hope this helps!

Don't know - do not have the battery operated Thomas but I have bought several other trains, various brands and they all fit fine.

Sorry but was gift so is not available to measure. However, I purchased track that went with an engine set and then later purchased track that said it worked with the "wooden" Thomas sets and they do all fit together. I think the key is does it work with the "wooden" Thomas engines.

Yes. There's a bag of 6 or 8 that comes with it. It doesn't matter though. They will get lost & your child will still play with Thomas! He has enough other lights & sounds he WILL be a favorite!

i'm sorry, i don't have an answer for this. i bought this item as a gift for my great-nephews at Christmas, and i watched them play with them on the tracks they already had, which i believe were compatible with Thomas. so i felt safe buying the engines/train cars set. they worked perfectly. if Melissa and Doug track say they'll work with Thomas engines, then they "should" be ok, i would think. but i can't say for certain, sorry!!! but i will say that this particular train set is really nice, the pieces are fair sized and easy to play with, and the kids absolutely loved them!! good luck to you in whatever decision you make!! i'm sorry, i don't have an answer for this. i bought this item as a gift for my great-nephews at Christmas, and i watched them play with them on the tracks they already had, which i believe were compatible with Thomas. so i felt safe buying the engines/train cars set. they worked perfectly. if Melissa and Doug track say they'll work with Thomas engines, then they "should" be ok, i would think. but i can't say for certain, sorry!!! but i will say that this particular train set is really nice, the pieces are fair sized and easy to play with, and the kids absolutely loved them!! good... » Read More i'm sorry, i don't have an answer for this. i bought this item as a gift for my great-nephews at Christmas, and i watched them play with them on the tracks they already had, which i believe were compatible with Thomas. so i felt safe buying the engines/train cars set. they worked perfectly. if Melissa and Doug track say they'll work with Thomas engines, then they "should" be ok, i would think. but i can't say for certain, sorry!!! but i will say that this particular train set is really nice, the pieces are fair sized and easy to play with, and the kids absolutely loved them!! good luck to you in whatever decision you make!! « Show Less

I feel your pain. my 4yr old has been a Thomas/train fanatic since he was 1.5 yrs old and has about every engine they produce. I found Bash @ WalMart, stumbled upon Dash @ BigLots and cannot find Ferdinand anywhere. The train HAS been released, however, because I've seen them on ebay... one for $99 and another offer to buy all three for $125! The ad says it won't be released until 2011. If that is so, how are ppl getting them to sell on ebay? People are actually paying these ridiculous amounts for these trains... I dont get it, either. All I've heard from my son is, "where's Ferdinand?" "I need Ferdinand."

no the wheels on the take n play trains are closer together.. my son still pretends that way though.. he loves Thomas no matter what!

Yes most of the small Thomas trains can. There is one my son has that cannot, but thats a larger version.

i have the same question! Are the two compatible? Also, will this work with the Thomas sets?

We bought Thomas and friends KNAPFORD Station with Thomas, Annie and Clarabelle included. It did not have the original box, however, I just looked at the ebay items and saw a boxed set exactly like ours. The box doesn't show "talking railway series", but the station master does talk as the trains pass by. They show talking bubbles on the box, and to the best of my recollection(it was a gift to my grandson) it does say what the bubbles say. You might look at the box on ebay and see if this is what you are looking for. This may be the only one that includes the 3 trains with it, so that sets it apart. Hope this helped!

I checked with the grands.... they say all the Thomas engines they have will fit through. Hope this helps.

We don't have Thomas trains, but it fits with our other brands of trains... Imaginarium, other generic ones
