Editorial Review
When Thomas the Tank Engine and friends get dirty after a long day's work, they can head straight for the Sodor Engine Wash. This 6-inch-tall wooden building snaps directly into your Thomas the Tank Engine railway system. Just drive the engines up to the building, turn the large red knob on the roof, and the blue foam grips will pull the engines through the wash in either direction. The Sodor Engine Wash has a smooth black roof with a silver water tank perched on top and brick facades with fancy archways on either side. This handsome and durable structure will add lots of interest to your Thomas the Tank Engine railway system. --Elisabeth Fredrickson

 Not All Engines Can Get Clean! February 25, 2008
My 2.5 year old AND I have a problem turning the knob to push the engines through. So frustating for all of us. Also, all heck broke loose when Toby couldn't get cleaned. Only one roundish engine can go through at a time. Connected trains will get stuck (yes, I know it is for one engine at a time, but explain that to a toddler). I also don't think it can hold the attention of a 2 - 3 year old for very long. Not the smartest or greatest design. The paint on the roof and along the corner brick walls can chip easily too. Sometimes I wonder if I could make this myself for half the cost??? This item is going back. :(
 Wash time fun May 7, 2007
For the Thomas fan this engine wash is a lot of fun. The only down side is you have to build it off the main track if you have the battery operated engines as they can not just drive through it. Requires the child to turn the knob ontop to get the engines through. Still as long as you have extra track its lots of fun and my son enjoys "washing" all his engines.
 Great addition to the Thomas tracks December 8, 2005

Great little toy! Very durable, doesn't take up too much room on the train table. My 3 years old loves carwashes and this just makes the Thomas series even more fun! Easy to push trains through the "brushes."

My son loves to play with the Thomas the Tank Engine wooden track and vehicles-he is 2 1/2 and makes believe that Percy gets all dirty (like in the video) and drives him through the engine wash. He is very creative when playing with his Thomas toys and keeps him busy for hours. The colors are bright and with the numbers on the engines, he is very eager to count and they have also helped with learning his colors!
Excellent addition to my son's collection, he loves it! February 14, 2004

My son is 4 and 3/4 years old, and received the engine wash for his third birthday. He has had no difficulty operating it, and it is holding up wonderfully. The foam wash rollers look just like new after having countless trains run through them. There are a few pieces that may get caught up a bit but it's quite easy to release them by giving them a little push from behind. The same engine wash is part of the local toy store's set, which obviously gets tons of wear. It is holding up very well, and is clearly a favorite of the children who sample it at the store. I would highly recommend this piece to any Thomas enthusiast age 3 and up. I can imagine it may be challenging for a younger toddler to operate it, but it isn't intended for that age anyway.
