Nolyn has a LOT of Thomas trains and toys, but the one in the last 6 months that seems to be his favorite is the Thomas “Shake Shake Bridge”. It has a section of track that shakes as the engines go through it, and no matter how many train layouts he builds – they all seem to contain that section of track. It’s not a very expensive set, you can usually get it for about $20 or so.
Out of all the new train sets we’ve purchased this year, this one has seen the most use. It has fallen logs and bumpy track, and you get a Thomas engine with it (takes one AA battery – but we buy a LOT of batteries!). There was a digital Thomas DVD last year called “Misty Island Rescue” and this playset is modeled after that movie. The dark brown track that comes with it is kinda cool too. Now that Fisher Price has taken over production of the Trackmaster brand, we personally think that the sets are a big higher quality.
here is it on Amazon:
you can probably find it on eBay as well, we’ve had a lot of good luck finding Thomas sets on eBay in good shape for a decent price. It sure beats buying everything new at the store (and you can often find things that are no longer for sale):
