I am wondering if the take-n-play engines will work with this. Is the mat flat or smooth with images of tracks or are they actual wooden tracks?

It is flat and smooth with images of tracks. It works for any wheeled toy - including the take and play and wooden Thomas and Friends. �

I don't know about the take & play engines would work(I'm the great grandmother who bought this item) The mat is flat with images of tracks. Our 1 1/2 year old loved it along with the thomas talking engine.

It is smooth with images of tracks only. Definitely best for younger children.

the entire case and open mat are flat with pictures of engines and tracks. Hope this is helpful

It's just a smooth vinyl feel holder. The inside has different areas of sodor island on it, but it's all images, no real tracks.

It is flat and any trains will work with it. I bought 3 and all of the kids I gave them to liked them. Two of them have already been on vacation!

They are just pictures of everything; the mat folds out completely flat. I noticed on the box that it works with a specific track, but I can't remember which one since I gave as a gift.

Yes, my son has both wooden and plastic tracks . He uses both for his trains .

No, these tracks do not work with the plastic motorized Thomas Trains and track. They only work with other wood train track.

I just looked at mine. The only suggestions I have are: Is the track that guides the tray in bent? Are the little balls that ride in the tracks sliding within the tracks properly? Other than that, I don't know what it could be.

It doesn't work with the smaller trains, and I'm not sure about the tracks. I do not recommend this table. It's very large and very flimsy. The helicopter pad constantly falls apart, some of the pieces don't seem to go with it, and the drawers always sticking (the bottom of one cracked after less than a year). I can't wait until my son outgrows it.

The wooden tracks came from a used toy store. I do not know the brand but there are Thomas and Friends engines and cars that roll well on the tracks. The bridge most definitely gives a new interest. Good Luck and have fun.

Take-n-play pieces will NOT connect with trackmaster. I would suggest that if you purchase Thomas the Train and Friends, purchase all the same kind. If you purchase Take-n-play, stay with that. If you prefer the Trackmaster sets, then stay with them.

I have had no problems running this train on the regular "Thomas Wooden Train Tracks". However, if used on generic track (that are advertized as "100% Compatible with All Major Brands") it sometimes derails at the joint between curved track pieces, particularly for tighter curves. I guess that the fit of the joints just isn't as snug! Anyway, with a little adjusting you can get them aligned so that there aren't any derailments.

Sorry! I do not know how are the new tracks. These tracks are the same as those that already had my nephew.greetings

We don't have any take and play, they are smaller if I'm correct I think they are for the wooden tracks. Trackmaster is larger.

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)

Yes and no. You can probably have the 2 stations and enough straight pieces to make a longer layout and have some left over pieces but you are better off buying the straight and curved pieces they sell separately. The Fisher Price Trackmaster Thomas trains also run on the Tomica HyperCity blue tracks perfectly. Those Tomica tracks might be cheaper too [They do not interconnect with the Fisher Price tracks]

The take and play engines are smaller and don't fit on the wooden tracks very well or vice versa.

The small die cast take n play trains do not fit this track. The wooden railway (chuggington and other brands included) DO fit on this track included the battery powered wooden trains. We have several of each type, brand, style. The Take n play are so specific they are not interchangable with anything or any other brand.

Yes my son uses all his trains on it. The major trouble with the train table is tracks fall apart easy. Get surelock system.

I believe it was specifically made for the larger, plastic, battery operated trains. It comes with a Thomas and a freight car, the boulders as well. What is unfortunate about this particular set is that the track isn't really compatible with other plastic tracks, like the Blue Mountain Quarry - the Great Quarry Climb play set and the "portable" plastic tracks. The tracks for this are very specific to the set itself. The wooden trains will fit the track but not the smaller die cast trains (I tried it out for you just to be certain).

I have never used Imaginarium wooden tracks. But I know it will work with Thomas the Tank tracks and also Brio tracks.
