I have a Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway Battery-operated Rosie - I replaced the battery and the light goes on but the motor won't work. Can it be fixed? (Note: this is not a Trackmaster train)

First check for anything you need is e-bay.Then
use your search engine ( Firefox, Google ).They
will come up with an answer for you.

You really only have 2 good options and both are currently out. Just keep checking every so often and you'll get one.

if you want the track layout its here http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=9217&e=layouts you can surf around that link to find other stuff too !!

If it worked on Windows 7, it will definitely work with Windows Vista
The only thing you need to check is if its Vista 32-bit or 64-bit - the latter is known to be not compatible with a lot of software.

You can actually make many out of the train set you specified. I am sending you a link that will give you all the ideas with pictures. If you zoom in on the pictures, it will give you the piece numbers and where they go. You can choose the one you want.

2 options.

1.if its the kind that fits on the wooden track look for a screw (philips/star screwdriver) on the underside of Thomas near his face. The body shell should lift off.you will then see the battery.

2 If it's the plastic blue track you have to squeeze the right center wheel and left center wheel. Thomas has 6 wheels so the 2 center/middle wheels, after squeezing this will then make the top portion pop off.

My son wanted this for Christmas but we went with a couple more affordable sets. he did get others though and they dont change batteries like most of the Thomas and friends. Flip him upside down, locate all screws...find one or two that have and arrow around the screw...those are the ones you take out to put the batteries in.

No they do not have the same face. Edward has almond shaped eyes and a pointy nose. If you bought it new, learning curve will replace it for free, if you bought it second hand or over the internet you may have got a cheap knock off.

there maybe a switch underneath, try checking it out. hope this helps

i will try my best to help, i had the same problem with my sons as well..i was in the same situation:).You have to take the top of the train and the bottom of the train apart, seperate the top & bottom,then the battery compartment is inbetween the two..sounds confusing i know..they are very hard to pry apart.Hoped I helped!
