Big Chugger fans here, DS has the entire die cast set, and three interactive chuggers, he is getting 3 more for christmas
The only ones that are compatable with Thomas is the wooden collection, they fit on the Thomas tracks and join together with the magnets - We have a Wilson, Koko and Brewster in the wooden set for that reason
DS loves loves loves his die cast set (much more than the interactive ones) and plays with them endlessly, his favourite is Action Chugger. He is also getting a few of the diecast track playsets for christmas which is exciting for all of us
I saw a Chuggington bike at Toys R Us for $50 which I plan to get for his 3rd birthday too
MummaBee, I just washed it? I know some washing powders can leave your washing stiffer then others? I use Melaluca the Wellness Company and I probably used a fabric softener. You could also dry it in the drier rather than on the clothes line? I got mine from Target, it's got Koko, Wilson and Brewster on the front and it says Ride the Rail on the top and the reverse side is redc with little pics of them.
MummyNaomi YAY for Chuggington! Do you think your DS likes the die-cast more because he's got more of them? I like the fact that the diecast range has a cary case But as I mentioned I got these on sale so I probably would have ended up with Interactive anyway. So far I've got Train stops Quary, Wash station and the repair station, then I've got the bridge and tunnel set and the straight and curve track set plus the elevated track set. Engines so far are Koko, Wilson, Brewster, Action, Chatsworth, Frostini, M'tambo & Harrison. I'm going to track down Dunbar & Irving somewhere so I'll have all of them in the interactive set YAY. Plus I've found the around chuggington set on line for a good price and will then have the launch station too woothoot hehehhe.
Can I ask the AGE question again, what age do you think is ok to start using it, I expect a bit of wear and tear but not destruction. I was thinking of giving him the engines for his 2nd birthday and then setting up the track with stations etc for christams next year (yes I'm planning way in advance LOL) He would then be only 2y3m, is that still too young to now wreck the tracks/stations etc? I know it says 3+ on the box but we've given him other toys for 3+ when he was about 8 months with no problems?

We bought our DS a train table for christmas when he was 20 months old, best money we have ever spent on toys. He has been train mad ever since. He will occassionally pull the tracks apart, but mostly he puts them back together if he does
I think he likes the die case as they are a better size for his little hands Cherished - he likes his interactive chuggers but he LOVES his die cast. We have two Wilson carry cases, but we need a third, we have another 14 that wont fit in the cases. We bought some online that aren't available in Australian stores
Just wondering if anyone has the entire chuggington interactive train set including 'all around chuggington' the stations such as the quarry, chug wash, repair shed, other stuff like tunnels, and we even have the safari station too. DH is making a train table and I'm wondering how big it will need to be when it's all set up. I could technically open up all the boxes but what a mission just to see how large it all is! I guess I really need to know how large at least 'all around chuggington' is when it's set up and then maybe guesstimate have much more space we would need. Any help would be fantastic!
Why not make it the size of a regluar (medium sized) dining table...then it can be mulitpurpose. Its can function between an art/craft table, play table or an eating table when kiddy visitors pop over
Great idea oh clever one! I'm thinking we might make it long and thinner rather than shorter and wider, I think it will fit into our play room a bit better? I have given in and am going to set up the all around chuggington pack tonight to give us an idea on size, I think it's pretty large and then with all the other stations I think it's going to be huge! If it's going to be too big he might just have to keep some of the stations under the table (on a shelf that dh will make) and then he can change it when he wants different stuff to play with. We already have 2 tables which he could use for when other kids are over so I think this one will just be for the train set really. PS your dd doesn't need to jealous, what is ds's is your dd's... Isn't that the way marriage works?!? rofl
