Do these trains have magnets on top of the cars? My son has the M&D swivel crane so I'd like to know if this would work with it.

At least one of the freight cars (the white tank) does have a magnet on top for toy cranes to pick them up. I can't find the log car, but I think it also has the magnet on top.

Yes, the smaller trains that connect with magnets work with this track system

The wheels fit those tracks and the magnets are on the correct ends. The engine and caboose are much smaller than Thomas ones so would look odd in a train of those cars, and the letters are taller than typical Thomas cars so may not fit under bridges and tunnels.

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

They are magnetic. This is the same way that Thomas or Brio connect so the cars are all interchangeable

Hey, my son got some "chicken cars" for New Year that have magnetic cargo too. I know it's kinda too late for Christmas, but I wanted to update the info here. Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Sodor Chicken CarsIf you look at the pic, you can see the magnetic circle in the center of the cargo.

We have both Magnatiles and Magformers. The magnets do NOT line up. If I recall correctly, the Magformer shapes like squares and triangles are slightly smaller than their Magnatiles counterparts, and the bigger Magformers shapes have different magnet placement than on the Magnatiles. (But the Magformer magnets are much stronger!)

I'm not sure what you mean by Disney cars but Matchbox and hot wheels cars work well on this ramp. I believe the Disney cars are bigger so I'm not sure but I would think they are too big. The ramp come with four wooden cars as well.

Just have the train, so I don't know. I think I would try to call the company directly about that. This train has provided a lot of fun. I like the way the cars connect. Good for eye-hand coordination. The four containers in one of the cars are a bit tricky for a young toddler (or adult sometimes) to figure out. Kind of a tight fit. Overall a great and very durable toy.

Yes it does have a magnetic coupler on the rear. The Thomas and Frieds powered locomotive would not stay on the Brio tracks.

That's my understanding for how the product line is intended to work. I know all of the cars work on all of the other sets but I am not familiar with the Train Station. The other sets will connect to the Train Station set but I don't know if the Train Station tracks are specific to the Train Car or not. I'd suggest contacting them directly just to be sure: E-mail: vtechkids@vtechkids.com Phone: 1.800.521.2010

They would probably slide off or get stuck at least some of the time. My son has some of the Thomas that run on batteries, and they do get stuck on some decent inclines & tight turns. But there are some straight aways where train can go, but track not really made for trains running on their own.

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.

Are you talking about his "cargo load" that he lifts up? The yellow train car cargo that sits atop the black train car? If so, yes it comes with that! Otherwise the crane would not lift anything, since it lifts via its magnet.

The Matchbox and/or Hot Wheels cars would have to be pushed on the track. The train and cars that work on these tracks are battery powered and go on their own. Not sure if that's what you're asking or not. Hope it helps.

They fit on the Brio wooden tracks. As with many longer train cars, they are likely to tip on the short, sharp curve pieces of track that sometimes come with Brio sets. Also, Melissa and Doug brand magnets are weak.

yes.. and the Mindscope cars seems to be better... trouble with the elevator so dont buy that set.. the tracks are great..including the "turn around" and the cross track joiners. I might buy the tower for grandson's bday.. the kids are 3 1/2 and just under 2.. they love it.. both sets
