Is the Thomas Roundabout Turntable compatible with the Big Train (Maxim) Roundhouse (aka “Can I save money on Thomas and replace with a cheaper piece of track?”)?
While you CAN use the Thomas Roundabout Turntable and the Maxim Roundhouse in the same wooden railway layout, you can NOT replace the Big Train Roundhouse adapter track with the Thomas Roundabout Turntable. The Thomas Roundabout Turntable is a Learning Curve exclusive that will ONLY work with the Thomas Wooden Railway Roundhouse. You can’t “mix & match”. The same is true when trying to use the Maxim Roundhouse adapter track with a Thomas roundhouse, or when trying to replace a missing Knapford station switch track with a non-Thomas brand track. In these cases, they MUST be matched with their brand-exclusive part. If you have questions about compatibility, give us a call.
