Train Is Not The One Pictured

"It's a selection of Thomas videos, so if you know Thomas, you know what you're getting there. But as for the train included, it appears to be random. We received a red train we've never seen before with ours, which is obviously not the one pictured. Luckily it was bought as a gift for a neighbor who was just happy to get any train - our son would have been like "who's this train?""

Came with yellow Duncan and Blue Thomas as pictured

"Though other reviewers say they got different trains than pictured, I received a yellow Duncan and blue Thomas as pictured. I ordered 3 Thomas DVD's with double trains, and one came with different trains than pictured though, so I think it may be somewhat random. It is still a great deal (it was on sale when I bought it) and the whole package cost less than a single wooden Thomas engine purchased at the usual price at the store. So, if you are looking to bulk up your child's train collection at a discount, this is not a bad way to do it. As for the video: running time 40 min, bonus freatures include "bios of your favorite characters", "sing along songs", "link to official thomas web site". Stories are "james learns a lesson" "foolish freight cars" "a proud day for thomas" "thomas and the conductor" "thomas goes fishing" "terence the tractor" and "thomas and bertie's great race""

Good DVD for little ones

"Loved this DVD especially since my son is getting into the whole "Thomas Experience". This DVD is slower paced and Ringo Starr's voice lulls the little one into paying attention. Bought it to be the last thing we watch before he goes to bed. Like that it focuses on lessons and action isn't so intense. Great for 2-3 year olds."

Good price, average item

"Received a red "Mike" train and coal tender. Never heard of that one, but it seems to be of good quality, made of wood and plastic. My son likes it.

The video is one of the older ones w/ Ringo Starr. The production quality isn't as good as the more recent Thomas videos and Ringo is not one of the better narrators. He doesn't seem to have the warmth or the ability to keep the kids attention as well as others. It sounds like he is just reading a book out loud. Overrall, w/ the train, this is a decent value, but not great."
