Thomas the Train - Ride on - Peg Perego Ft Wayne

[Fenway]

Bought a used Thomas the Train ride on for my kids. These are no longer made but I found one on CraigsList for $40. When taking it apart I noticed stickers in the train that read PegPerego - Ft Wayne Indiana. Is this company still around?

2 issues - missing 1 piece of track and the battery is weak. Found parts on eBay

My kids loved TTTE when they were little. They would have loved something like that.

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you.

The price of Thomas stuff is insane I've been having good lucking buying used on craigslist, INGO and eBay.

We've got a ton of those older, diecast engine/charcters. They got played with so much, many of them have a lot of the paint knocked off of them.

Yep, it's on Hilligas Rd. Close to the WFFT TV station and the animal shelter.

Interesting.... Anyone on INGO work there? Got an extra piece of track for me?

There's a thread going on right now about how great it'd be if companies ran without management harassing them...I now know it's all STH's fault for all the "confusion and delay", not Thomas being cheeky or those "troublesome cars".

 

[hoosierdoc]

Ah, perspective! I told my wife to punch him when they went to Day out with Thomas in Connersville. She said he was there and didn't look happy at all. Managers would have life easy if no employees. Employees would love their Job without managers. Many jobs would be great except for the customers.

It's "troublesome trucks" as my sons have corrected me sooooooo many times!

Whatever you do, don't buy the factory battery. Go to modifiedpowerwheels.com and do a bit of looking at getting a gruber or werker SLA battery. I have picked up quite a few powerwheels, peg perego etc ride-ons on the cheap and the gruber SLA batteries are far superior to the factory ones. Werkers seem pretty much as good and are available at batteries plus. Just remember you often need to wire in a fusible link or circuit breaker.

Despite many admonishments, my kids are big fans of two kids in the jeep, one on the hood and two more in a wagon pulled behind so I go circuit breaker as fuses blow way too often.

Best,

Joe

Ah yes...It's been a few years. How could I forget?

Have you priced the AR's in the classifieds???

Oh bumpers, quit being such a scattertrain!

Chuggington at least is more entertaining than Thomas
