Dealosaurus Rex gave 4 stars to: Wooden Train Track Turn Table, Compatible with Thomas, and More (2 Pack)

Dealosaurus Rex reviewed:

Wooden Train Track Turn Table, Compatible with Thomas, and More (2 Pack) by Cornucopia Brands
4.0 out of 5 stars Great parts to expand the possibilities of any train track collection., April 18, 2016
If your kids are like mine, you have a growing collection of wooden train track parts, and the number of possible configuration is quickly approaching infinity. But there are only so many ways you can rig together bridges and tunnels before you start running into logistical issues in your train universe. These turn table pieces are remarkably useful for getting complicated tracks put together. They allow up to 8 tracks to intersect, which is really incredible. Additionally, instead of simply allowing trains to pass through, they can be re-directed to any direction, and even sent back the way they came! This gives an easy way to make a "T" stop or cross-track, but I actually like using these as the center for my build, and then have all kinds of features interconnected through this.

I had a couple of things that kept me from giving this 5 stars: First of all, the turn tables themselves were very hard to turn at first. My two year old couldn't do it himself, and I could only do it by putting a train in it and cranking it like a screwdriver. Second, one of the bases cracked and split in two within a week of use by my two year old. I didn't see how it happened, so it may have been abused, but there's only so much force my two year old could have applied. I suspect the wood was cracked from the beginning and my kid just found the fault line and easily broke it.

I received a discount on these train track turn tables so that I could try them out and provide an informed review.
