Not sure if I want to bite - pretty low reviews compared to other Thomas Wood Set items...it seems MANY of the train cars are too wide to fit through the wash. :/ Only 2 stars overall out of 15 reviews at Amazon:

We have a similar train wash piece- definitely agree with the low reviews.

My kid wants to push a ton of cars and/or zoom a few ones around the tracks- and the train wash rollers just get in the way.

Our least favorite piece.

It cracks me up that they took the left overs from last weeks sale and combined them into one item and re-offered it.

I agree on the train wash piece. It's a bit of a novelty that just gets in the way when the kids try to push the long trains around.

I noticed that, too, LOL!

We took the Wash Station out of my son's set for the same reason. It's an annoying piece that really gets in the way.

Also, if you just want tracks, look on Amazon for other brands. There are much cheaper ones that have the same size grooves for the Thomas Trains.

None of the Thomas wooden sets are exactly bargains but this one is the worst. There are very few track pieces and a "station" that most find inconvenient at best. I like to stick with the official sets but this one for what it offers is definitely over-priced.
