The Maron Station Starter Set does not say "Trackmaster" as other stations do: is there a difference in compatibility?

I got this today and it DOES say "Trackmaster. It does NOT, however, have the track with the switch to make it stop at the station.

When I purchased this set, the description was "Thomas Rides The Rails Starter Set" and it was actually Elsbridge Station, not Maron, but it is compatible with our other Trackmaster Track Packs. I am not sure why Amazon changed the description.

When I Purchased The Starter Set, I Purchased Trackmaster ItemsTo Go With It And They All Work On The Track.

No, it is a plastic motorized Train and will not fit on wooden tracks, I am not sure it will fit on trackmaster tracks either (thomas motorized plastic)

Trackmaster trains and play sets are compatible. Must say trackmaster. The take and play sets are a smaller size.

I'm not sure what a "starter set" is. The ones we purchased where ready to go with tracks and sticky tabs. They where two completely seperate tracks and we never tried to hook them together.

Yes, but I'm having a little trouble with one of the speed controllers. My right hand track is not running properly. The owners manual is horrible. There is a way to adjust the tracks and drive chains, which you will need to do after you have run it for a while as things get run in. If yu can get a copy of the manuel from the old version it shows how to do it much better.

There is an expansion set, apart from this huge set: http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Train-TrackMaster-Deluxe-Expansion/dp/B002SNA5HU/ref=pd_bxgy_t_text_y (There is also a "starter" set which consists of a small track and an engine(usually Thomas) available here on Amazon or at stores like Walmart (cheaper) and Target. So, both these together along with the huge one you have right now, will make the LONGEST track possible. Be sure to use Trackmaster engines - other kind of engines will not run on this track. AND make sure you have that much of a GINORMOUS SPACE in your home / floor to layout the tracks !!

Just make sure you are using a 'Trackmaster' starter set, not Take and Play or wooden style tracks.

Two of our pieces were different colors than what was shown on the box (the one under the fill up station and the one that lies across the air tower). By switching the two pieces the track should fit as shown on the box. Also make sure you adjust the two lengthening pieces to the proper length necessary for the pieces around them to connect.

I'm using it in a Nordictrack but I'd hold off if I was you. They have been having a nightmare since November when they upgraded their servers causing huge numbers of users (mine included) not to work reliably. Check out the ifit support pages not the headline posts but the users responses and make sure they've fixed it before you spend your cash.

I am also looking for a case. I bought my son one today but it doesn't fit the trackmaster trains, only the take and play. Did you have any luck finding one?

It is specifically for the TrackMaster battery-powered trains. My toddler tries to use it with his magnetic trains as well, but they don't really go/stay on it very well.

No, it doesn't work with Track Master OR Take and Play. It does, however, work with the Thomas Wooden Railway trains.

The track connecting points do not line up and the track rails are narrower then the Little Tykes tracks. Even though it says it is compatible it's really not.

Unfortunately no, not out of the box. There is supposedly a way to install something that will allow you to not have to re-map the knobs every time you switch tracks, but it did not work for me when I tried to set it up.

The version we bought has it's own base - and was not configured for track lighting. However, perhaps they have other bases available.

It is compatible with the wooden trains.. Not sure about the tracks.. The best gift we've gotten so far for our son. We got it for Christmas and has not stopped using it since ..
