Thomas the Train Sets, Which Tracks Are Authentic Thomas the Train

Thomas has both. And on three different scales - the trains for each scale aren't compatible with each other.

I'm guessing you're thinking the one that can be set up with the play table? It's wooden - the manufacturer is Learning Curve. It has the most available pieces.

There is the portable system that is plastic. It used to be made by Learning Curve and was called "Take Along," but now it's made by Fisher Price and is called the "Take and Play" or something like that. It is smaller than the wooden set.

There is the "Trackmaster" set, also made by Fisher Price, that is also plastic. It is on a larger scale then the wooden Thomas set.

Both. Go to the website to see if what you are buying is authentic. There are wooden and plastic sets sold. The plastic go with the motorized trains. The wooden go with the ones that do not have batteries. It's for the ones that stick together with magnets.

Anything wooden will fit the wooden trains. We have Melissa and Doug, Learning Curve, Imaginarium, etc. If its a wooden track, regardless of brand it will fit the thomas trains.

The 'authentic' ones are the wooden ones by Learning Curve. I have bought quite a few items and track sets for my daughter on ebay. You can save a lot of money. Two ebay shops I have used often are "thomasandtoys" and "thomasauctions". Happy bidding!

thomas the train has many authentic track sets... my fav and the one we have a gagillion of are the grey ones that click together... the others we tried tend to break apart too easily or are too hard to click together.
