Great, but disappointing
" We chose to get this set for my son who loved a wooden train set at his older sister's preschool. We had lots of duplo already, including the number train, which were all played with regularly. Memories of my brother building his Lego train set growing up also convinced me this was a great idea. We opened it, and as we set it up, my kids made trains up using duplo we already had, and the stuff that came with it. I was surprised, and very disappointed to discover the train track has been changed! It is now too narrow to have the original vehicles run along the track, which lead to a few fights over the stuff that came with the set, not to mention that the train cannot be used without power, so they can't just push it around, which is what they wanted to do. If I had known this I would've either bought a wooden train set or would have tried to get a second hand old duplo one. I have told others the same when they have asked about it too, some lucky friends had an old set for their kids, and couldn't believe they changed the tracks as it is one of the most used toys in their house - making me feel even more disappointed!!
I do love the other features, like the crane, and we had the iPad game before we got the set, which helped tie everything together too.
