How to Replace the Battery in a Thomas the Train Lounger

Thomas the Train brings storytelling and imagination to our children's lives. Toys and furniture based on these characters make the stories come alive even more. They even allow your child to feel as if he has a place on the Isle of Sodor. The Thomas the Train Wheel and Whistle Lounger can serve as a restful little sofa for your child or as the train that is late for its nearest stop. You need only to change out the batteries to make the enjoyment last.
