This set includes a standard later 2000s export Thomas with plastic face. Uncommon for the United States (and really the Tomy Thomas Plarail system in general) is the faceless truck.

First included in the Steam Along Thomas Set in 2005, Maithwaite Station has nice painted details as well as a planter sticker and separate sign.

The track layout is fairly basic but it is larger than some other oval with passing loop sets and the bridge is also a nice inclusion. It is a little funny that the set just has regular curves going up over the mini girders instead of using the slope curves, but it works alright this way too.

The track in this set is mid 2000s track with the squared-off Tomy logo in the "top".

Although I wouldn't really say this set is all that interesting, I do like that it comes with a faceless truck, something that was not very common for Tomy's range of Thomas toys... unlike the later TrackMaster ranges.
