    Question Chuggington Interactive Toys?

    I found some chuggington interactive rail set toys on sale so I got some as ds loves chuggington already even though he's a bit young for some it atm I jumped online to see what else they had with the set and came across the die-cast stuff which has loads of cool carts to attach behind the die-cast train engines but the die-cast range is not compatible with the interactive ones as the train engines are much smaller. But I was wondering if anyone has both and if the die carts still attach to the interactive engines? Even though they are smaller I'd like to get the die-cast Mtambos safari carts for example to attach to the Mtambo interactive engine.

    Sorry no specific info on the chuggington range but thought I would let you know that the thomas the tank engine sets can all be different and its a pain in the Seriously why cant they make all the products the same to make it easier on the parents.
    If you can..... try buying just the one cheapie and see if it works?

    Thanks MummaBee ds doesn't have any Thomas but I had heard that they don't mix together either which is a pain! I was going to get one cheapie from on line but wanted to get a few things to save on postage I will call the manufacturer on Monday but wanted to know today (cause I'm impatient)

    Man that's so annoying! I had a look in store and of course they are in a packet so you can't hook them up to see anyway. But if they are a different track then I guess there's no point hooking up a diecast cart to an interactive engine anyway. Far out I'm now obsessed with the interactive Chuggington stuff lol. I know I'm more excited about it then my ds is as he's too little to play with it all yet. I've found out that they are not going to be making it any more and are moving into the wooden rail set and I've found heaps of other groovy engines over seas and rail stations. Wish they had them in Australia too, they are a bit pricey.

    We have the interactive ones.. DS got 2 sets for his birthday (he was 2).. And the trains on this will outlast the younger Thomas ones when it comes to interest. Thomas will always have the Thomas factor, but these trains do more.

    DH wants to get a really good Thomas set when DS is older and looks after things a bit better, but just quietly, I prefer Chuggington..
