Mad Dash on Sodor (originally known as Mad Dash on Sodor Set) is a TrackMaster (Revolution) Toys "R" Us exclusive and Motorized set. Thomas can pick a boulder up from a hopper at the Blue Mountain Quarry, where it is then automatically unloaded onto a chute. As Thomas goes down the spiral to leave the quarry, he has two options: He can either reverse under the chute to load the boulder back into his truck, or the gate at the chute can be lifted to roll the boulder into the Sodor Shipping Company building, where it is packaged into a barrel. The barrel then rolls down to another gate, where it is picked up by Cranky, who spins 180 degrees and drops it into Thomas' truck.
Product Description[]
TrackMaster (Revolution) box description[]
You control Thomas during this exciting, interactive adventure! Start by picking up a boulder from the hopper, then speed along to the Blue Mountain Quarry, where Thomas' special cargo car automatically dumps his craggy cargo. When the boulder enters the Sodor Shipping Co., it transforms into a barrel, which rolls out towards Cranky at Brendam Docks. Use the remote to race the No. 1 blue engine down the spiral track towards the Docks as spinning Cranky picks up the barrel and drops it off for Thomas!
