Title: Not made like it used to be
Review: We ordered the track expansion set and were very excited. We have been using the brand Thomas the Train tracks by Learning Curve for three years and we have never broken a track. The new pieces we received seem as though they are made from different wood. I noticed when we opened them they were different, but I thought maybe it was b/c it had been awhile since we added to our collection. Not even one week of play (and really not hard play as they occasionally run a train on it!) and one of the straightaway pieces developed a crack and splintered off! What?? I know. I looked at the off brand track when I ordered and thought 'No I will pay more because I want this track to last.' I do like the switches and the T track, but for the cost vs. quality it does not add up. Buy the off brand and save your money. What a disappointment.
