 Very pleased. May 7, 2008
I purchaed one of the large Thomas the train sets for my son for X-mas, which we LOVE. What I felt it was lacking in the set, however, was the staples that you see in all the books or shows, such as cranky, the windmill, etc. so I began purchasing these for my son little by little. I mean if you're going to go with Thomas, you want to reflect the island of sodor in your layout, right?!
We are thrilled with the windmill. As I wanted this train set to represent THOMAS and overall be a creative/manipulative this windmill fits my bill on both fronts. My son loves to pull the levers to start the windmill or to release the flour barrels. It makes him think a bit, rather then pushing a button! Also I was pleased to note that you can turn the top of the windmill so that you can fit it into any layout. Ours is acutally on a diagonal! It's nice to have a simple toy that makes for good/useful engine storylines in his creative play.
 Toby's Windmill tons of fun! January 27, 2008
My three year old son got this as part of a train table this past Christmas. He absolutely loves playing with the windmill. An easy-to-use lever operates the windmill and another lever drops barrels of flour into the special freight car. He can play with this, by himself (key!), easily. My only issue with the windmill itself is that the tower section feels wobbly. It doesn't seem to be a problem for my son. Overall a wonderful addition to his train table.

This has been a great addition to my 3 year old's train set. As with all the wooden Thomas toys, I found it a bit pricey, but my son plays with it so much more two other items with good reviews, Cranky Crane and the Water Tower. We've had it about 2 months, and the lever that turns the windmill gets a lot of use/abuse and has held up well. My son likes to put the barrels (as well as other items including small rocks and raisins!) that come with the cargo train through their chute at at the back of the windmill to load the train. We're very happy with this purchase.
