    • Great train for what we wanted!
Train came well packaged with full, easy to follow instructions. We took our time and carefully set up the tracks, knowing this isn't a "TOY." I was careful to make sure we didn't bend the parts on the track or the links between the cars because they are fine and possibly fragile. I bought this train last minute for my 2 year old daughter who surprised us all by asking Santa for a train three days before Christmas. Thanks to Santa's amazon prime membership, it got here right on time so we could set it up under our tree Christmas Eve. Growing up, I had a train similar to this one under our tree, so I had the brilliant idea to bring back some memories by buying a model train rather than a toy train for her. I was a little nervous about her wanting to touch the train and the small pieces breaking, but I showed her how to operate the train with the controls and she was more interested in that rather than picking up the train itself. I think this is a great product and if you want to purchase this to use with a small toddler, then you should take the time to play with them. We took some of her foam blocks and were building bridges for the train to go under. We built a station so we can stop the train and pick up imaginary people. I think if you take the time with your child and use your imagination, you can make this train interactive enough for them to leave it on the tracks! The original track that comes in the box is a perfect size to fit under our tree. We have a 7.5' tree and the tracks are slightly bigger in circumference. The power connection from the control box to the tracks does not have a tight fit so if it is bumped too much it does lose its connection. But that is a super easy fix. Overall I am super happy with this train. My husband wanted her to have one so she could pick it up and not break it, but I like the fact this train moves on it's own and is more realistic. My daughter loves this train too. Even if she can't pick it up and throw it around! ... show more

This was the best gift!! It was easy to put together and super easy to operate my 4 year old is obsessed!! The tracks are smooth and everything came as it showed on the box. We haven’t had any issues so far and he’s already asking for more tracks! 10/10 recommend for a someone who’s getting into model trains! ... show more

    • Perfect Entry Level Set!
Review Image by Jennifer Shurley
This train set is great for our 6yo as an entry level set! He’s already asking for more tracks to expand the line lol. Very well made, and the tracks are easy enough for him to work with by himself. Keep in mind, our kid isn’t a rough kid with his toys—so others might be wary of that. If you bend the metal on the track pieces, it can interfere with putting the tracks together. Also a really cool feature that I didn’t even know about, the set has one piece of track that auto-aligns the cars onto the track for smooth operation. You just slide the car back and forth over the track and it automatically gets it seated, so no frustration with the train being “on” the tracks. ... show more

    • The engine is a quite nice in the detailing and operation
Was looking for a starter set for my young kids that was not a cheap toy grade train, but definetly not hobby grade as a 3 year old is hard on everything. I remember Bachman from the 80's and the quality was so-so, but priced very reasonable. I was a bit shocked when I saw the prices of this type of set, so I figured the quality had been improved. The engine is a quite nice in the detailing and operation. It does not have the weighted fly wheels as a hobby grade unit will have, but the motor is very smooth and quiet. I was actually impressed. The knuckle couplers, even though plastic, work well as they have an actual spring unlike other manufacturers. The rolling stock is decent in detail and roll smoothly. Over all I am impressed with the quality for this caliber of train set and so far, it has survived the use by a 3 year old. I hope that it survives for many years to come. ... show more

    • Affordable Entertainment
Pro: Affordable, easy to set up, easy to operate, decently detailed locomotive, a time waster. Con: Freight cars & caboose feels cheap. Runs a bit loud at full speed. A time waster. Verdict: Good starter set for newbie like myself. Just got this set for myself and set it up under Christmas tree. Set up was a breeze. The train was up and running in 20 minutes. Make sure to read the manual on track assembly. The tiny metal tracks and connectors need to line up and putting tracks together requires minimal efforts. If you are using more forces than closing a cooler lid to push tracks together, then track connectors are not lined up properly. Use your fingers or needle-nose plier to make small adjustments until they line-up, and push them together. It's a firm push, but does not require much force. Manual also stated setting up tracks where you want to lay them. This is to avoid twisting assembled tracks and un-align the connectors. With my setup, I was able to run the train at full speed foward and reverse without derailments. And this is on short pile carpet. Tracks and train stability probably would be better on hard surfaces like a plywood board, but on carpet I can feel the light rumbles as the train makes its way around the oval. Talking about the oval, it's about a 4' x 3' in size. For us it's perfect underneath a tree. But I'm already feeling the need to expand tracks for more variety. Even though I spent 3 hours just watching the train going around the oval last night, with no other track decorations. I guess this is how model trains get people to hook up. Once you have a taste, you just keep wanting more. Overall a good starter set that provides hours of entertainment at a very affordable price. One note: not sure if the locomotive is DCC-compatible so might run into some issues later when expanding. Bachmann's DCC controller supposedly is able to connect with the basic controller that come with this set. I will see when I get to that point. ... show more

    • Nostalgic Christmas Magic – Finally Added a Train to Our Village!
I've dreamed of adding a train to our Christmas village for years, and the Bachmann Thoroughbred Train Set has finally made it happen! This set is amazing—compact, beautifully detailed, and reliable. It’s like stepping back into my youth when I first had an HO train set. My wife and I couldn’t be happier seeing it circle around our village, and it’s the perfect touch to our holiday tradition that’s over a decade old. The village folk seem thrilled, too! I even picked up the track expansion kit, so there's plenty of room for holiday cheer. I might seem early as we are just getting to Halloween, yet setting up the village early is part of the setting of the beginning of the Holiday Season and the foundation for all the other decorations that will start to appear throughout the house as that ever so anticipated day grows closer. That, and it takes a minute to unpack all those people and cottages and stuff and get it all set up. Added now to the yearly tradition will be Train Accessories expansion. Which mean the Village will need to expand... Now, the first part of the village construction is the laying of track! Awesome! All Aboard! ... show more

    • HO Scale is not for kids....
This seems like a good-quality product, but unfortunately it was not the appropriate gift for my 5 year old, as precocious and patient as he may be. I was encouraged by some reviews that mentioned great success with some younger kids, but as the instruction clearly state, proper assembly of the tracks is critical - any SLIGHT misalignment, discontinuity, bump, gap, or ridge in the track will cause the train to stop or derail. So that means this is not a train set to be assembled and used for a few days, then disassembled and put away then taken back out to be used again... it really needs to be set up once and left there. Also, the wheels are very small and quite difficult to position properly on the track, even for an adult like myself. This all translates to not-much-fun for my little one. My bad for not doing more research.... ... show more

    • Awesome Train For The Christmas Tree
I bought this Bachmann train set to put under the Christmas tree this year. I was thinking of getting the bigger O or G scale train, but the HO is the perfect size and I'm really glad I went with it. The HO size has a perfectly sized track that fits under the Christmas tree without needing the typical 4'X 8' space that most larger trains need for the track. The Locomotive is the heaviest of the train pieces and most well built piece, but that's because the other train pieces just need to roll behind it. Overall I'm really happy with the build quality, and the track was super easy to snap together. The conductor controls are also really easy to use and my 2 year old quickly learned how to move the train forward and in reverse in a manner of minutes. I would recommend this train to anyone looking for a train set for under the Christmas tree. Great Price, fairly quiet, and great size! **Here is some video I took of the train to help you see how it looks and operates. I was running the train at about 1/3 of the full speed. The train operates and stays on the track at full speed as long as the track is completely level on the floor, or on a table. ... show more
