GeoTrax + Thomas = Thomax (or is that GeoMas?)

mrbunky13 you are genius!!! I am sure many parents out there struggle with the same issue of having kids that want to play trains with Thomas and GeoTrax together in the same set and you found a way to make that happen.

Check out mrbunky13's Thomax train gallery on the GeoTrax Yahoo! Group to see pictures and instructions of how to convert a GeoTrax Train Engine and Remote Controller into a Thomas version.

Note: You must join the GeoTrax Yahoo! group in order to view the picture gallery of this adapted train.

GeoTrax Track Designer Online - Flash Required

I saw this mentioned in the Yahoo! Geotrax Group. An Online GeoTrax Track Designer, how cool is that?



NOTE: I have to set expectations correctly...as of the time of this writing none of the new sets (Big City Stuff) are yet included. But, this is definitely worth a look.

You can drag track and add other pieces onto your design, use the mouse to rotate your parts and snap them all together. And if you run out of room....simply click on your design and drag the entire track layout to a different part of the screen. (There is something you can't do in real life in your own living room...moving a track layout over even the smallest amount to avoid an obstacle can be a royal pain).

GeoTrax Flashin' Fast Police Car, Ambulance and Garbage Truck

Some fun new vehicles. The police car is battery-powered with flashing lights and sounds. Can't tell on the other two. See the Flashin' Fast Police Car, Ambulance and Garbage Truck Instruction Sheet.

Also, here is a picture of the Flashin' Fast Police Car and Garbage Truck.

GeoTrax Beam Town Fire Station

This makes the other fire station look pretty puny. Battery powered, this station has lights and sounds that activate when you turn the crank--the garage door also opens. It comes with a special y-track that allows two engines to park side-by-side inside the garage. It comes with a new fire engine vehicle. Read the Beam Town Fire Station Instruction Sheet here.
