Brio/Wooden Track Compatible Chuggington Toys?

The new Interactive Chuggers also fit my sons Brio track.

Yes – toys r us and amazon have a good selection!

deffo going over to this when released – I wasted £40 on the interactive set which was highly disappointed with – the good old classis wins hands down rather than these new fangled things!!

Just called Learning Curve as they make the interactive and diecast toys… they don’t have a clue!! In fact after a week they told me to take a bit of wooden train and go and try them in a toy store which is not really feasible if they are a packaged toy. Said it might be prudent for them to test they might make more sales, which was met with silence and repeating we don’t know. oh well…. Any news would be appreciated.

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the new wooden track system is the same size and compatible with any of the other wooden Brio-type tracks please? I bought a whole set of the diecast engines, a Wilson storage case and all the plastic track sets for my boys when they first came out in 2009 & these have now been resigned to the cupboard as my sons found it all too fiddly & frustrating to put the track pieces together!! Hundreds of pounds wasted & no second-hand market to sell them on, as those parents who didnt buy at first quickly got the message that they were rubbish. I would consider buying the wooden sets if they are compatible with other wooden tracks. Learning Curve seem to have completely missed the point with their concept as my children just want to be able to build a big, continuous track that incorporates & links all the sites as seen on TV. They want to wash the trains at the Chugwash, get repaired at the workshop move on to see Vee to get their jobs for the day, go through the loop the loop etc etc, but the existing plastic track system doesn’t all join up into one big track – very annoying!!!!. Very disapponted as I think this could have been a brilliant addition to any train-loving toddler’s toybox if only the designers had actually spent time working with children to see how they actually play? My boys love the diecast engines, they are a great size for little hands and are very detailed but I just really wish I could trade in my plastic track sets for good-old wooden ones & not have to buy a whole new set of trains to match just because the designers didn’t make the diecast ones a bit bigger to fit a traditional wooden track that is already available??? If I were a Director at LC I would have sacked the whole design team & gone back to the concept that has worked for millions off children already – standard size wooden track (compatible with Brio wooden type tracks) and  simply made the die cast engines bigger to fit! Cant help feeling BRIO would have made a much better job of this and got it right first time?
