Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Madge Madge is a snub-nosed truck with a three-wheeled cab and a flatbed. What she lacks in elegance she makes up for in strength and personality. She is the prime organizer of the little engines but she can be playful and loves a joke. Vehicle includes a character card explaining the unique personality and job on Sodor. Vehicles aid in developing fine motor skills, color identification and counting skills. Measures 1.5″L x 6.75″W x 4.75″H.
Customer Review: My 3 yr old son thinks it is broken.
I wish I had read the other review of this truck before I bought it, but who would think it necessary to read reviews of a train/truck? This is the first Thomas wooden vehicle I have bought that I am not happy with at all. As stated in the other review, the trailer is not really attached to the truck, so you can never carry Madge around in one piece. My son has had the truck for 10 minutes and he has asked me to “fix it” about 100 times. Every time he picks Madge up, the trailer becomes unattached. If he moves the truck too fast (imagine a 3 year old doing that), the trailer becomes unattached. The vehicle looks great and is good quality like the other vehicles but is no good for playing.
Customer Review: Trailer comes apart from the front constantly!
We bought this for our two-year-old, who loves all things Thomas-related. He was so excited, and immediately wanted to play with his “new friend, Madge the truck.” To his frustration, and our disappointment, the trailer isn’t really attached to the front of the truck — it just rests on a little plastic nub. Basically, if he pulls the truck or turns it, the trailer comes off. Guess what, pulling the truck along and turning it is the whole point!
