Editorial Review:
Despite the decline of train travel, that mode of transportation has fascinated both children and adults alike. The popular PBS series Thomas the Tank Engine thoroughly enraptures its young audience. The delightful 10 Years of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends focuses on Thomas and his pals James, Percy, Old Iron, Bertis, Annie and Clarabelle, Terence, and more. The segments featured here ("Thomas & Bertie's Great Race," "Old Iron," "The Trouble with Mud," "Terence the Tractor," "Percy's Ghostly Trick," "Mavis," "Henry The Elephant," "Percy's Promise," "James Goes Buzz Buzz," "All at Sea") not only are colorful and fun, but offer subtle messages of loyalty, friendship, affection, and safety. Each of the mini-episodes is interspersed with commentary from actual Thomas fans, set at a vintage train-station event at which Thomas is at the top of the tracks. Entertaining and compelling for the youngest viewers as well as their parents. --N.F. Mendoza

Rating: - Thomas is the best!
First of all, let me say that I love Thomas the Tank Engine. My 6-year-old son has loved Thomas for 3+ years running and I am very grateful for all the good times the three of us have had. That having been said, this is a compilation VHS. You will not find any new stories on this one. However, it is worth viewing (and getting, if you don't have a big collection) if you have children. We got this as a gift from friends, so having duplicates of the stories was not a big problem with us. Interspersed ... Read More
Rating:  - curate's egg
This VHS version of 10 years etc has its good points and its bad points, though my son (20 months) may disagree about the bad.
So, the good points: the stories are mostly fine. some are very good, some less so (I admit to having read the books over and over as a child plus at least once since - I usually know when they depart from the written version; I can get a bit worked up when there is no good reason for this departure). The scenery is an unmitigated pleasure - time and care went into producing ... Read More
Rating:  - Err - strange things happen...
One day, Thomas had a race with Bertie in "Thomas & Bertie's Great Race" - then, James was hot and Edward's Driver attached a rope to James's right buffer in "Old Iron". Then, Gordon must take another shower covered in mud in "The Trouble With Mud" - then Thomas meets the horrible tractor called Terence in "Terence The Tractor" where the lime was everywhere and they think Percy's a ghost in "Percy's Ghostly Trick" and Toby meets a female diesel engine named Mavis in "Mavis the Diesel Engine". Henry hates ... Read More
Rating: - The "Day Out With Thomas" footage is pointless
Now this tape is a great tape because it has a story about every Thomas character and you can see your favorite one at his/her best. But I just can't get over why they put that weird footage in here. All it shows are the Day Out With Thomas events and they interview kids that are way too little because they can't speak into the camera very well.
Here are the Thomas stories featured on this video(they are the most popular ones I would assume):

Rating: - Strange
When I say strange i'm referring to the engines on the cover. I understand why Thomas, Percy, Toby, Gordon, Henry, James, and Edward are on it since they are pretty much the maine engines throughout, but there is one other main engine and he is Duck, and for some reason Mavis (who is only in Trust Thomas, and is brielfy in Thomas And The Special and Percy's Ghostly Trick) is on the cover. Ever since Duck debuted in Thomas Breakes The Rules he has had at least a small roll in every video, while Mavis only had ... Read More
