Off the rails, thanks for the details. I was not aware that the tracks weren't compatible with older generation/3rd party tracks. I am already not a fan of the weak magnets on these or the way they went from magnet to plastic on "Take N Play or Adventures or whatever it is they call them now" sets. Those bidirectional magnets were perfect for little kids who didn't care which way engines are facing.
Price point is a huge downside of these wooden engines. At $25/engine, parents can't really afford a whole set. Well maybe these exposed wood ones will last slightly longer since corners won't peel so easily. They won't look worn out as quickly as the fully painted ones?
