 Sir Topham Hatt's Car Apr 06, 2008
By tappelb
We bought this for our son's Easter basket and to round-off his ever-growing collection of Thomas trains. It is sized just like the wooden trains so that it fits on the tracks and Sir Topham bounces up and down when the car rolls along. However, if the surface is very smooth, such as a tile countertop or glossy table, then the wheels just glide instead of turning and Sir Topham does not bounce. Perhaps some rubber or other tread on the wheels would have insured that they would turn on more surfaces. Other than that, it's a great addition to our Thomas train set!

Lots of plastic on the Sir Topham Hat's car Jan 09, 2011
By Jamie R. Vislocky

I am willing to spend more on Learning Curve's Thomas Wooden railway because I feel like I am getting high quality wooden toys. My little one loves Sir Topham Hat, so I bought him the car for Christmas. I was fairly disappointed when I opened the package to realize that this particular vehicle is practically half plastic. Except for a thin layer over the main (plastic) body, the entire toy is plastic.
That being said, it's still a fun toy, Sir Tophan Hat bumps up and down and it seems durable and is a nice color. I'll still buy Thomas Wooden railway toys but just wanted to let potential consumers know that this one has a lot of plastic!!!

Sir Topham Hatt's bumpy Dec 28, 2009
By K. Kollar

This character toy is unique as far as his 'bumping' up and down as he rolls along. Durable and cute. The only reason i purchased this item was because i could not find a single figurine of Sir Topham Hatt. I guess it is the epitome of our time...mostly spent in the car ;0)

 Underwhelmed by Sir Topham Hat Jan 01, 2011
By Phoeden
Pro's:
1) It's Sir Topham Hat - you can't go wrong with the Hat. Every kid loves the Hat!
2) Lovely shade of blue - even matches Lady Hat's Hat.
Con's:
1a) Lots of plastic, for something that's supposedly part of the Wooden Railway
1b) All the plastic makes this look and feel cheap - no way this one will last as long as the other Thomas trains
2) REALLY HURTS under foot, which happens a lot given how my toddler loves to leave his toys around
3) No magnets to connect to trains. Of course Sir Topham Hat's car doesn't typically drive on the rails but that didn't stop them from putting magnets on Berty the Bus, or any of the other roadway vehicles - so why not this one? Kids love the tracks - not the accessories that don't go on the tracks...
Overall - no collection is complete without the Hat, but they should think about a design that's more consistent with the Thomas Wooden Railway proposition.

Disappointed Mar 16, 2011
By anna2112
Like others, I purchase the Thomas line because they are recognizable characters and also because they are such great quality. I had never seen the Sir Topham Hat before purchasing. I was pretty disappointed when I opened the package for my 3 year old son. It is primarily plastic, including the wheels. It doesn't have the weight of the regular trains, and it won't roll along on our wood floors. It just slides across without the wheels moving. The toy just feels cheap compared to the trains. Had I known, I would not have bought it. I would have purchased Harold or another train.
