How to Set Up Your Tomy Thomas Train

Tales of Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends have entertained children and their parents around the world since the 1940s, when Wilbert Awdry wrote the "Railway Series" books to entertain his son. Today, "Thomas and Friends" can be seen on television and in the movies, or acted out with miniature, plastic or wooden playsets. Know how to set up your Tomy "Push 'N' Sounds Thomas" train so your child can get the most enjoyment out of it.
