Marble Train

When Thomas was little, a fun toy that provided hours of play was a wooden marble train. Much to my surprise a few weeks ago I found one at a thrift store and bought it! Yes I did. So I brought it home all excited, and we didn't have any marbles! So Sammy, Mark and I went on a hunt to find some marbles which you would think are carried at most stores. No, they aren't. We finally found some at a hobby shop. So brought them home and this particular train instead of corners for the marbles to travel around, there are holes drilled for the marbles to drop through, and these marbles were too big!Gosh darn it all! So, the other day we were in a specialty toy store and lo and behold they had not only marbles but Pee Wee Marbles which are mini marbles. So we brought them home and the kids have been in marble train heaven! The cool thing about this one too is it has chimes at the end so it plays a little scale when they finish their ride! Green Lighting really likes the sound of the chimes and chirps like crazy when the kids are playing it!
