Title says it all. Wondering about the Thomas wooden trains and/or the Trackmaster trains.

Thanks!

My guess is no because Geotrax is a significantly larger scale than the Thomas trains.

No. Thomas trains are too small.

Nope, they are not compatible.

In case you want more than guessing, here's some discussion:

I have both GeoTrax and Thomas wooden train. Can't speak to Trackmaster. PP are correct, won't work.

FWIW, at age 5.5 DS plays more with Geotrax than Thomas now, but every now and then will set up the Thomas track along the length of our kitchen/dining room rather than use the psuedo-train table we store Thomas under.

eta: check out the video the second link above links to on Wired. Wait, here's the link, watch the video at the bottom. Not on point here, but fun to watch. I'm in awe of how much $ that setup must have cost. http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2007/05/hacking_geotrax/
