Looking for Advice on Toy Train Set

We're considering investing in a toy train set for the kids and a lot of the reviews we've read favor the Melissa and Doug set. I've never seen it and I'm wondering how it compares to the Thomas and Brio sets (or others). Also, are the pieces interchangeable?

Having said that, I'm interested in knowing of any really, really, really great purchases you made for your little one that have provided hours of fun playtime. I posted this before and got some great ideas...thank you...so I'm really just asking one last time before I place the order. I have Dulplo legos, Playmobil,...

Cleaning a Dry Erase Board

I recently got an Easel for my son and used Melissa and Doug Dry Erase Markers on the dry erase side and they won't come off? Has anyone had this happen? What can I use to get the marker print off the board? I have tried a soft towel and damp cloth and it won't come off?

Panicing About Christmas Time Already.

I'm trying to think of presents for my 3 year old son. I'm glad he's not at an age of Wei's or Guitar Hero's just yet. My husband has been unemployed for about 6 months now and money is really tight. What kind of make at home presents do people do at low cost or no cost? I don't know how to sew. I am checkng on freecycle for legos, lincoln blocks, and puppets. Any other ideas? And how does one get on toys for tots?
