Do you need to have the wooden rail system for this toy to be useful?

No, but the wooden tracks are definitely a useful accessory. My nephew also rolls them over their cocktail table & I never see scratches.

This train is compatible with the wooden rail system, but my kids do enjoy their engines off of the tracks. It can also be used with the grey Take-Along tracks (that are designed for the die-cast metal engines), but it might not fit inside of the accessory buildings of that line.

yes... Word of advice... if you are going to use it a lot, clean the tracks a lot... the train itself is not a very good one... but its okay for just christmas time... use a better train for regular use... not too expensive...

You could presumably build it without the hand rails (you have to build the whole thing yourself) but there are notches in the bridge part where the rail posts go, so you'd have those notches visible.

Not sure about toddler rails. The full size rails do not come with the bed and must be purchased separately.

No it doesn't. Nothing extra is needed for this toy. It's the best gift ever given to my grandkids. :)

I don't see that being a problem. The slide is held down by a few screws and the monkey bars with some brackets, but they are not attached to any particular piece of wood that has to go on one side or the other. Honestly the monkey bars is only three bars, barely enough for any kid to even swing on before they are putting their feet back down. If I was to build it again I would just tell my husband to leave them off. The set comes with extra pieces and it would have been enough to place slats across that opening to close it up so no one would fall back. I hope this helped.

Once the track is in place and connected, it stays pretty well intact. There is some wiggle room but for the most part the trains glide nicely along the track. However, after some time my son will start to use some pretty big trucks to play demolition man and collapse the beautifully intricate track I designed. :) I don't think you would want a method to secure the track in one place. Its a lot of fun coming up with new routes to surprise my little one!

I'm not 100% sure of what you're asking, but if by rails you mean bed frame that the box spring and mattress rests on, then no. You would have to purchase that separately.

No, the rail needs the ring mounts to be mounted to the gun....you can have rail or rings not both

We use the floor but a table would be a lot better. Personally though I would look into some different train sets. This one proved to be a huge waste of money for us. You only have enough tracks to put together either a small circle or the one set up shown here. There is no room for creativity. Also several parts broke in the first week of having opened it. On top of all that it also came in a terrible looking package that made it look like a used set that someone threw back in the box haphazard with no effort in making it even fit into the box. I wish you luck if you decide to give it a go though. We use the floor but a table would be a lot better. Personally though I would look into some different train sets.

No, the rail Kit is extra. It just has ears, so you can sit it on another mounted device.

no you don't need extra rails--My husband put the bed together but I thing the bed had three rails that worked pretty well.--It seems to be enough to hold well

Yes, it does. That's the sole reason I bought it. The Thomas track is MUCH more expensive. These tracks don't have the image of rails etched into the wood like Thomas, but my son doesn't care. He just likes that he has a HUGE track now!

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 ..

Yes it is. It just comes with a toddler rail that is included in this price. I hope this clarified your query a little bit.

No it does not. You will have to purchase HO scale track and some kind of power pack. If you are looking for these things it would be better to buy a train set.

No, I believe you have to buy the extra parts. Like the crib to bed, you need to buy the side railings for toddler. Other than that, not sure what else you'd need.
