So Xander never really got the 18 month toys to 2 year old toys. We had toys from Wyatt at our house and I am all about buying the least amount of "plastic" as possible. So he jumped from sucking on toys to 3 year old toys and hasn't complained one bit.
Jeremy and I had a huge Thomas Track set that we had bought for our house about 5 years ago. It had been taken apart and put together all over the house for years and Xander has been really into it lately. Jeremy would set up different tracks for him around the house and he would just play and play.
The only bad part. I hate plastic. So I would have to pick it up to have him want it out on the middle of our floor again. I had bought a train table off Craigs list awhile back and contemplated getting a wood track set to glue to that so it would always stay. But I didn't want to ruin the table and I already had all the plastic Thomas stuff. And the wood stuff is a small fortune.
Xander LOVES the Barns and Nobles that have Train Tables and screams bloody murder, when he has to "leave island of sodor, Thomas". We experienced the carrying your crazy screaming child out of the Book Store over Thanksgiving weekend. The whole store new that he did not want to leave the "Island of Sodor"
So Jeremy and I were trying to figure out a portable city. One I could easily move, And we could glue plastic tracks down.
Home Depot. Styrofoam siding. Awesome husband who made a city and glued it all down.
It is light and I have moved it already between 3 rooms. Glued down like cement and so far pretty durable. And wohoo. Island of Sodor in the house
Quote from Xander, "Wow, Dad AMAZING"Love you lots Xander!

Had the same issue with Eli at the train table in the children's museum. Can Eli come play?
