I dont think they do. We have a Diesel 10 who doesnt, and I'm pretty sure he's a takealong. I might be corrected though

no, they don't

Nope. My dp bought one for ds1 and it doesn't fit our brio/tesco track although god knows ds1 has tried his hardest.

don't know, but the big plastic tomica world ones do.

I know the definitive answer as ds has the wooden track and trains (some thomas wooden world, some brio, some ikea etc) all of which are compatible EXCEPT the take along thomas - he has 3 trains from this and they are narrower than the gauge of the track. I think they go on plastic track that you can buy for the take along which is narrower. This really bugged me and I thought it was really stupid but I have to say it really doesn't bother him at all - they still stick together ok with the magnets and he just pushes them round the wooden track tilted with only one side of the wheels in the track. Bugs me though.

no way! they dont. my ds was most upset about this! i sold his wooden track on ebay to buy him some plastic takealong track.
