Our 2 1/2 year old grandson loves thomas & friends.  We brought out our sons' old brio set and joined it with thomas and it was all over the house. What a mess.  When the train table package arrived, the table looked huge but after playing around with the tracks (and all the additional pieces that keep mysteriously appearing) the trains have a home with plenty of tracks and the table is no longer too big.  It is perfect.  I especially like the drawer.  It's the handiest storage space ever.  However, our grandson likes to sit and stand in it saying "All Aboard!"
