Amazon.com Product Description
All aboard for adventure! Thomas the Tank Engine always starts his day at the Tidmouth Shed on Sodor Island. But where he goes from there is now up to the imaginations and fingertips of young engineers. This Thomas at Tidmouth Sheds set is a large remote control track built with the technology of other Thomas & Friends TrackMaster sets. Kids use the controller to move Thomas forward or backward around the track that includes a bridge, tunnel, and the famous shed yard. Kids can also play cool sound effects like hissing steam, train whistles and the Thomas & Friends theme song that emit from the controller.  | | Kids control where Thomas goes with this remote control track that includes a bridge, tunnel, and sheds. |
As Thomas is guided around the track, his engine chugs and he says things like "I think I'll go for a ride" or "I keep whistling, don't I?" His facial expressions even change between surprise and a big smile as he is suddenly stopped, reversed, led through the mountain tunnel, and more. When it's time for bed a twist of the turntable at Tidmouth Sheds allows Thomas to return home. The shed doors open and close as the big blue engine enters or exits. Whether acting out scenes from their favorite Thomas & Friends shows or dreaming up their own inventive journeys, Tidmouth Sheds makes it easy for child conductors to put their story in motion.

My 3 year old really enjoys Tidmouth sheds. Assembly was easy. It would be nice if the track set came with more switches so it can be expanded for use with multiple trackmaster sets. Overall an A+++ hit with my kid. Highly recomended for Thomas fans. It's even fun for the adults.
 Roundhouse Fun August 31, 2008
After reading the previous reviews I was afraid the sheds were going to be falling apart on a daily basis. This was not the case. There have been a few "train crashes" that broke the sheds apart, but the overall fun my son has had far outweighs the hassle of putting the sheds back together. My son thinks the roundhouse turntable is the most fun and plays with it for hours at a time.
This is a Great product! August 17, 2008
Great product for the money!!!
My son loves this toy! It is a little flimsy but a little glue in the joints fixed that problem.
Great Purchase, No Regrets June 20, 2008

I just purchased this toy for my younger sons 4th birthday because he always wanted me to build Tidmouth Sheds out of Legos. Well, I read the reviews, bought some Super Glue and ordered it anyway. My kids were so excited when it arrived. I took a deep breath and started the assembly. I PUT IT TOGETHER IN 7 MIN with NO problems and NO glue (the directions said it would take 30 min). Yes, I'm mechanically inclined. I followed the directions, it snapped together perfectly and hasn't fallen apart once. I have two boys (8 and 4) and even with their rough play all has been well.
The tracks are sturdy, chunky plastic and connect easily. The roundtable moves smoothly with little hands. The shed doors never fell off, they are connected well. The bridge is simple to assemble. The remote control is chunky as well and is easy to hold. The buttons are in just the right place so it's not awkward to handle. The only music that plays is the Thomas melody when your child presses the button on the remote. The other button is the trains whistle. The face changing is easy to turn on or off with a switch of a button under certain tracks. Occasionally the face will not change completely after rolling over the special tracks (looks creepy) but easy to fix. Be well stocked in AAA batteries (takes 6 total). All of our motorized trains work fine on this track. The directions say ONLY PICK UP BY TURNTABLE not by the roof. I plan to never take the shed down, but just store the turntable and shed in tact.
You may wish to order the Expansion Pack for more fun. If you already own the old blue tracks be sure to guard the two Special Connector peices that are included.
I feel GREAT about this purchase.
 Glad I only pad $15 June 18, 2008
Amazon had this on sale for $[...] after I completed my Christmas shopping. So I went ahead and bought 3 for my son and nephews as birthday presents. Let's just say I'm glad my son loved the Thomas with remote, because this is the worst train set ever. Nearly mpossible to get the shed together without it collapsing 35 times first. Please do not attempt to put this together with your child present. IT will only make it that much more difficult since it collapses with the slightest touch. So as much as I thought I got a really great deal, it turns out it is only an OK deal to get remote control Thomas and a Harold for $[...].
