Well built train as expected. It would be good if the train sounds stayed on longer without having to repress the button.

We love this train, and have purchased several as gifts because of this. Having tried the other brands of battery operated trains. This one is our favourite for a number of reasons. It's much faster than the alternatives, handles corners and hills much better, and (probably because of the aforementioned reasons) it pulls carriages without them all dropping off the track every 5 mins. Would definately recommend

We now have this engine for almost a year. When my son got it, he was a bit more than one years old. It is amazing that it still works perfectly.

First of all, this is a very powerful engine. It pulls up a bridge 5-6 carriages without a problem. It makes very nice sounds and has a front and back light that make it look nice when coming out of tunnels.

The built quality is amazing. It has fallen from the kitchen table many times. It has been stepped on, banged and once fell in a bowl of fruit cream. It still works.

Re batteries, if you have young kids, just do yourself a favour and buy a few BargainFox basics rechargeable batteries and an AA/AAA charger. Problem solved.

Too big compared to other trains - doesn’t fit under many standard tunnels.Doesn’t go around standard bends/curves very well.I thought this train would deal with the standard electric train issues on wooden tracks - not climbing slopes, coming off the tracks easily etc.... but actually no real improvement.

This was really popular with my 3 year old nephew, so much so he took it to bed with him almost every night!
Lovely train, very good quality.

Battery life lasts well, which is amazing considering all the other trains it has to pull. We bought a smaller one battery train from Brio and Early Learning but they struggled to cope with the load...this one now is excellent, would really recommend it.

If it hasn't been played with for a while it turns itself off, thereby saving the battery. It even has a little light on the front and makes a whistling sound when you push the button.

Would highly recommend

This was a present for our 3 year old for his birthday and it’s been one of his most played with presents. Months later he still goes for this above other toys.

It’s strong enough to pull several carriages (only a couple up bridges though).

I would recommend buying rechargeable batteries to go with it as you will go through a lot.

This train is absolutely Brilliant! I bought it for my son who is 3 and has Autism so he is a real enthusiast! He loves it, the fact that it can go forward or backwards and it has a light, plus the noises it makes. He is a 3 year old though so he can be a bit heavy handed and this seems sturdy and hopefully it’ll withstand his play.I love it!

This little train is very good. I've bought a few different motorised ones and was dissapointed with most of them. But not this one! It can pull all the carriages up hills, even filled with animal cargo! Definitely recommend! Buy some rechargeable batteries to go with it and you're all set to go!!

this is unopened present for xmas would imagine it is good quality Brio usually are

This is a long train and didn't seem to. Ole well with tight corners or going up the slightest incline (it just got stuck). With two batteries you'd think it would have a bit more power. Quite disappointing and extremely frustrating to a toddler who was over excited to see this train but upset when it failed to make it around a simple track.
