Unfortunately, sometimes the Thomas & Friends engines need a little tune up. Luckily, the Thomas & Friends Take-N-Play Sodor Steamworks Engine Lift and Repair Shop can come to the rescue. This Take-N-Play pack folds up neatly when the engines are in working order, but as soon as there is a problem on the line you can unfold it, connect it to your other Take-N-Play kits and roll the damaged engine into the shop. The roof opens up to reveal the workbench and lathe and engines are lifted up for easier access and repairs. Once ready to roll, take your Thomas & Friends engine back down the ramp and out onto the track loop. Make an even more exciting adventure by connecting your Thomas & Friends Take-N-Play to others in the series to create a huge extended train track for your little one and all of his friends. The Take-N-Play Sodor Steamworks Engine Life and Repair Shop kit packs up nicely to store all of your pieces. Included is a die-cast Stanley to begin your repair shop operations. Some assembly required.
