 The biggest of the Thomas charactersMar 22, 2012
By Tom Brody
HECTOR is the biggest of the Thomas the Tank Engine characters, at least, of the characters that are 1-piece characters. HECTOR is almost entirely made of wood, except for the plastic face (smiling and glancing to the right), the front magnet, the rear magnet, the metal axles that enable swivelling of the front wheel unit and the rear wheel unit, and the plastic wheels. Thus, the wooden parts are the big compartment on top, the red-painted flat platform, the front swivelling wheel unit, and the rear swivelling wheel unit. The big compartment has a longitudinal groove, which fits into a longitudinal tongue that is part of the flat platform. Most of the Thomas the Tank Engine characters have stable wheels, that it, they are firmly attached to the railcar. But HECTOR has two swivel units, which rotate independtly of each other, to allow this railcar to navigate curves.

 Good looking, nothing exemplaryDec 06, 2008
By Scott Meaker
A good representation of the character in wooden-railroad form. Good size letters on the side are good for helping younger users recognize a few of their letters. I don't know of anything that is meant to "work" with Hector's opening: the cargo container that comes with cranky and a few of the other "destination" toys do not fit. A few things that I can think of to put inside would be too small for an under-3 child.
For awhile this was my son's favorite, but that was, of course, supplanted by other characters.
Hector is large!Jun 02, 2011

Hector is one of the few (if not the only) hopper car that you can purchase among the Thomas Wooden Railway products. For this reason, he is a must-have for train freaks in your household. However, I will warn that he is LARGE. So large that you have to be careful how you build the wooden track with regards to corners, bridges, and tunnels, as not to frustrate your little engineers. He is one of my son's favorite trains, but if we're not careful he is frustrating.
My son loves HectorJan 13, 2011
By K. Parker
This is a great addition. Some things buyers should be aware of is that Hector is huge compared to the other freight cars (and some of the other trains!). This might be a challenge if you have a track layout with an underpass of some sort because if the track is not going straight and is on some kind of curve where it is not going exactly down the middle of the underpass, it might be hard for Hector to get through. But don't let that stop you from buting this toy. My son loves Hector and he's a great addition. The opening for his freight is rather narrow and, as someone else already mentioned, there's not a lot of the pre-made Thomas and friends cargo that can fit in there but with a little imagination, you can overcome that. My son and I cut out little construction paper fish, rocks, logs, and other things to use! Great fun with Hector.
