Bad Points

General Comments
The Thomas Melody train has outlasted my children and their friends. An old favourite for my toddler children, it lasted the test of time, sticky fingers and tantrums. It was a favourite way beyond the age recommendation and it is was interactive to the point, my children felt they almost had a real "CD player". The tunes are old favourites that even the adults could sing along to. The saviour was the volume switch and the holder for the discs. To this day we have this toy still all in tact. It also has a switch that enables the train to go straight or in a circle, so every playing surface was accommodated. the paint wore a little on the edges, otherwise we or should I say my children were entertained for hours.
