It’s hard to imagine how the parent of a train buff could escape Thomas. He dominates the children’s railroading industry (amazing, to think that such a thing exists!). We first received a “Tomy” engine, then a “TakeAlong” set, then more “Tomy.” After building small collections of those two Thomas sets, we found out about the wooden Thomas. Oh no — should we switch? I’m sure our confusion has been mirrored a million times — what’s the best?

But then I found GeoTrax. I’m not wanting to knock Thomas here; Jonathan still likes to play with them. But GeoTrax is so far superior that I have to share it with you.

On to part 2…
