A week ago, we got the kids their early Feast presents. Jordan and Aubrey both like trains and wanted to build on to their Thomas & Friends set. Last year, we got him a T & F wooden train set, and I like the wooden set a lot better we decided to keep and build on with the wooden train set. Well, you all know that Thomas & Friends wooden trains are not cheap and if you buy the character trains and the wooden railways and accesories... it all adds up! Here's a great deal we found and put together. At Target, they also have the cheaper brand Circo for wooden train sets. They have a 120-pc wooden train set w/ Drawbridge for only less than $50 (with all the tracks, trees, people, etc -- that would have cost maybe twice if more for the Thomas set). We tried it with the Thomas wooden tracks and it fits perfect. So, we decided to go buy the 120-pc set from Circo (the kids wouldn't know the difference) and just get the Thomas & Friends train character (that, they will notice) one at a time.
When we took it home and set it all up... the kids just loved it, they played with their train set for hours! And they wouldn't have noticed the difference of the tracks and accesories being different from their other Thomas tracks.

hehe. My hubby loves trains too and eventually he would like to get a real train model and put it together with Jordan when he gets older.
