Our Editorial Review
Product Description A medium-sized engine. He likes to think of himself as a really splendid engine. This can occasionally lead to grandiose ideas about the sort of work suitable for such a noble creature, which invariably lands James in trouble.
Amazon.co.uk Review Splendid James is a larger engine, proud and red but in the beginning at least still with things to learn before he becomes a Really Useful Engine. This James is made of real wood with a three-dimensional face and is linked to his own coal truck with a very strong magnetic coupling. Over the years (and these Thomas trains will have years of play value) these solid wooden trains will prove to be a great investment as they stand the test of time. James will work happily on the Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway Sets and all other major brand wooden train sets. Suitable for children aged 2 to 6 years. --Victoria Mackenzie

Not as Well Made as Brio but same price! Posted 21 August 2001
My 3 year old (a great Thomas Fan) was given a Flair James as a present. He gives all his wooden engines a hard life! But, I must say the Flair toy has faired much much worst than all his older Brio engines (I understand that Brio no longer make Thomas toys), the paint finish has really flaked and worn away, the toy also appears to be much more flimsily held together -not screwed like the Brio engines and will need to be kept an eye on. Also from a purely 'Dad' perspective, the printing quality of the graphics on the toy are really poor. All in all, it should not be selling for the same price as the Brio version it replaced. Be warned!
