The track comes with an engine and little flat carriage then you can buy two other full carriages.  Those fit on the track together.  I accidentally put the train on one of the bends but they only go round them one way so it's easier to put it on the straight bit in the middle to start it off.  Perhaps everyone going to pony meets should bring their track for a super massive train track!

I SO want to buy the train yet!  I also want the carousel.  I think my next purchase will be the carousel, and then the train (and cars... gotta get the cars).  I love the idea behind them... now if only we could buy extra track.  Maybe they'll have it so you can buy individual pieces from the website like they had for pieces of the different castles?

I'd love the carousel but it's not out over here yet. :(

Hopefully Hasbro will make other track pieces to buy. I bought the train half price during a one day MLP/LPS sale at the Fredmeyer down my street. I was laughing so hard though because my cat was freaking out when I started it up on the coffee table! He'd reach a paw out to hover at the edge of the track and then back away real quick whenever the train headed his way. It was hilarious.  :lol:

Here's ours in action. I hope hasbro makes more track available, maybe as "replacement parts"?? Emailed them asking about it...

Omg thank you for sharing the video! That is soooo cute. I held my breath when Pinkie went around the curve, thinking she would hit the caboose each time but she didn't! XD

What a cute idea for a toy! I don't have room in my pony display area for one, so it's fun to watch other people's videos of them. ^^
Thank you Thimble for my amazingly cute avatar!

Hi Nan,

Thank you for contacting us regarding the My Little Pony Friendship Express Train set.

Currently, we do not have the track pieces available as replacement parts. Please check back with us at a later time.

I appreciate your understanding.

Regards,

Kelly
So... not a "Yes, and here's how you get them" but not exactly a "no, sorry", either.

You liked the single track? Wait until you see what I film later today. I'm debating: tablet camera or HD video? :P Tablet I can direct upload, and HD camcorder I have to actually turn on my server and get a tripod and whatnot XD Hmm. Effort...We'll see! Its rainy and Im feeling creative :D

See, I'd want one going around my Christmas tree! Or some setup around the ceiling in my pony room! I'd pay for extra tracks, Hasbro!

Ok, so here's the first video I managed to do! It took longer than I thought because the fraggin cars kept tipping over...Hasbro needs to take a tip from badly designed SUV's and lower their center of gravity....Enjoy. More to come!

Yay thanks for posting! That is any amazing track, I'm definitely going to wait for a sale then buy them up! I like that Luna and Fluttershy are cab-mates. :) I always think Fluttershy would be best friends with luna and daisy dreams. i hope you keep posting your track combos!

That sucks how it keeps stopping or derailing. I wish you could hook up two locomotives, I think the train needs more pulling power. Is there anyone out there good with tinkering, or have a hubby that could figure out a way to get the train more "horsepower"? haha
