What a fun little train! We are seniors and setting up this train during the holidays made it very fun for us. You're never too old to play.

I remember when I was about 8 For Christmas I got an old style O Gauge 3 Rail Train Track System. I just loved it. I wanted to share that same thrill with my 6 year old Grand son. I bought this set for him to see how he would take to it. I've been trying to get him away from video games and take on new interest. This set is AMAZING!!! Real to life sound effects and for his age right up to his level. I myself Just loved It! I love the way the tracks are tide together, The many different track layouts. But most of all I enjoyed Reliving my past Christmas through his Eyes. But For everything this set has going for it...It has 1 Major flaw ..."NO CABOOSE!!!" Where in the hell is its CABOOSE?" The poor train looks 1/2 naked rolling down the track. Now That is a shame to what would be the perfect Train set for any young boy. Do you sell them separately for this type of Rail Set?

I enjoyed having this train under our Christmas tree this year! Love that the engine is rechargable and the controls simple enough for the young ones!Only 2 issues:1. Switch used to activate lights in passenger cars is on the bottom of the cars. For us older adults, it is an issue because the car has to be removed from the track to reach the switch, then you have to couple it back and put the car back on track.2. No mention of what do do when the batteries in the passenger cars die. Those are not rechargable and it looks like the only access to the battery would be from under the car, but that's just speculation because there is no mention of this in the instructions that come with the set.Otherwise, we love it!

For Christmas and for my three year old son I ordered the Lionel Polar Express train set (the $100 version, not the more expensive version), but upon receiving it was disappointed with the quality. After doing a bit more reading on the Amazon site, I chose this train set to display around the Christmas tree, and I'm very glad I did. The locomotive is all metal (save for a few decorative plastic pieces), and the detail and quality it, as well as that of the coal tender and passenger cars is first rate. The lighting on the passenger cars is a really great detail that adds a ton of character to this set. And although the coal tender and passenger cars are made of plastic, the trucks (wheels) of each car are metal, which greatly adds to both the quality and functioning of the train. The rechargeable battery in the coal tender lasts a good while and is a fantastic addition that helps parents like me avoid the disappointment of not having batteries on hand. And the price is just a bonus - all this quality and detail for nearly a third less than the cost of the lesser Lionel train set. Two things would make this set just outstanding: 1) a remote control would be nice to have, but not a requirement (my son enjoyed using it with the Lionel set); and 2) a way to hide the wires between the locomotive and the coal tender would be nice, but again, not a requirement, would just clean up the look a bit. Overall awesome job Hot Bee!

Me encanto hermoso tren

We bought this train for our 3 year old. He loves it, particularly loves that it makes steam. However, you can tell it is not high quality. The most annoying thing about this train is that the wheels are hard to get to stay on the track. Would probably buy a different train next time.

I saw a lot of complaints about the train not staying on the track but I sought figured out you can’t just turn the switch anyhow you want because it will cause the train derailment every time the switch is in the wrong order. Either all switches are up or down will ensure no derailment. Wished they had extra carts or rechargeable battery cart for sale or a bridge track.

The battery does not hold a charge over night so if you want to play with it in the morning you need to remember to hook up the battery, this is the reason I didn't give it five stars. People complained about having problems with keeping it on the track but for me I didn't have a issue. The main reason I didn't have a lot of problems was there where no children around. The size was perfect to go under the tree that I also got from Amazon.
