Thomas & Friends Trains & Cranes Super Tower Review

At over two feet tall, the Thomas & Friends Trains & Cranes Super Tower packs a lot of racing, chasing, loading, and unloading action in one track set. The set includes a motorized Thomas engine, a die-cast Percy engine, Harold the helicopter, and four cargo crates.

At the Tidmouth Sheds turntable, make sure the stop-track is set to STOP. When Thomas chugs by, he’ll automatically stop at the turntable to collect cargo. Flip the lever to release him. Thomas will chug up three levels until he stops at Cassia Crane to unload. Use the crane to lift and spin the cargo down the cargo chute. Now it’s time to help Thomas get across to Carly the Crane. Rotate Cranky so that his platform connects to the track and flip the lever to release Thomas onto the platform. Then, rotate the handle to transport Thomas to the other side. He’ll travel down the multi-level track set until he’s back to start to do it all over again.

Kids can also incorporate Harold into the play by hanging a cargo from Harold’s hook to have him fly it around. And Thomas’ cargo cart can be removed and replaced with the Percy engine, so the two friends can travel together.
