Does this work with the battery operated Thomas trains? Our curved ikea tracks do not work for the battery operated.

If you are referring to the Trackmaster trains for Thomas, then no. Ours don't work with these, but the wooden trains to.

I just tested our track with 1 Thomas plastic battery operated engine and it seem to work fine. We mainly use or wooden tracks for wooden trains, never thought to try the others

I know this set will work with the Wooden Thomas trains. If your battery operated Thomas trains are wooden, then yes it will work with this set.

Unfortunately no... Found out hard way, they are smaller tracks. Wish there was a way to purchase additional tracks for thomas train

I think they are all made to go on wooden track. The battery operated ones need a track. You ruin the gears otherwise if you push them. Barnes and Nobles has them here. You can probably push the ones without a track that are not battery operated.

Looking at the tracks for the TrackMaster trains, I would say these would not work. These do, however, work well with the wooden Thomas train sets, which is what we have.

We have these mixed with IKEA, Thomas, and Brio tracks. They fit perfectly!

I have not personally used Ikea track, but understand it is compatible with Thomas, Brio, Melissa and Doug, and Imaginerium. If you're planning to build a bigger system, we've had especially good luck with the Right Track packages (offered here on amazon.com)as they are much less expensive and work very well with all the above brands, too.

Yes, it had a battery operated Thomas the Train train. Runs fine until the kids forget to turn it off.

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.

Yes, we have thomas the train tracks and these no name brand tracks fit into the thomas tracks. We had no problems!

Yes, it is compatable with Thomas the Train wooden tracks. The only differance is the Kidkraft tracks are plain on one side & the other side has lines going down the middle (like highway lanes). Thomas has a train track painted on one side & plain on the other. The size & fit are the same.

Trains are not electric. Nothing in set is electric. You can buy the Thomas and Friends cars which are compatible to the track.

I know it works with Thomas train tracks. However some of the tracks are difficult to link to Thomas train tracks. However overall they are very good and my 5yr old has no problems playing with the different tracks. Don't know if they work with Imaginarium toys.

These train cars are narrow. The would probably fit on the track, but probably not very well. The go go vehicles are quite a bit wider than these trains are. I know they work with the Right Track & Orbium as well as the Thomas track systems. We have a mixture of all of those.

It does work with all of the Thomas trains, but a few of the Chuggington trains can't make it under one spot on this track. They literally cant clear it by about an 1/8th of an inch. If you look at the picture, the hill that goes down the mountain goes underneath some track at the bottom and that is where the Chuggington cars hit. We solved that problem by sticking something small under the two support pieces to raise that track piece up slightly and then they cleared it. Later we purchased a Thomas set that came with a piece that looks like one camel hump, so now I just use that piece there instead and it all works perfectly.

No. They have to go with the track master tracks. The only Thomas that will work on these are the wooden railway trains. Sorry. :(

It works with the large plastic ones that are about 4 1/2" long. Smaller metal ones are sometimes battery powered as well but fit on the wooden tracks.

Not sure about Ikea but I can tell you it fit on three different train tracks here. One wooden set from CVS bought at Christmas, one plastic set that cam with a Thomas Train and one other wooden set. I think they are pretty standard. I thought this one was great for the money.
