Caitlin is the attractive (purplish-pink with grey lining), streamlined engine introduced in the latest Thomas DVD who along with another new character, Connor transports passengers from the Mainland to Ulfstead Castle on Sodor! She has her own coaches, and is based on the President Class of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Caitlin enjoys challenging the other engines to race, and can sometimes get a little carried away with her excitement (but we can pretty much guarantee Thomas will ALWAYS win when our grandson's in control of the races!) We added her to our "cart" as soon as Amazon matched the ToysRUs $8.99 price (Fisher-Price's MSRP is $9), which saved us a trip to the store always nice!
Grandpa and I started collecting Take-n-Play the year it came out (2010), when our first grandson was about 2 1/2. It was really a high quality line of trains, vehicles and playsets at the time, and we believed they'd be be durable enough for him to enjoy with his own kids some day. They've provided us with so many enjoyable hours of fun interaction with him! We've loved seeing his creativity and imagination blossom as he's developed different adventures and scenarios! He turned 5 in April and still looks forward to visiting his Sodor land of make believe in our basement; his little brother is 16 months old and it won't be long before he's playing with them too. Unfortunately, the line in general has gone downhill over the past year, so this will be the last year of the collection. At least our younger grandchild will have the first few years of the collection to play with, before Fisher-Price started cutting corners. Hopefully when Grandpa and I are no longer around one day, their early memories of playtime with us will be as warm as ours already are, and they'll be able to share more special memories with the next generation!
