  • Well Made, Excellent Value, Granddaughter Loves It!
Style: Single
Cute little train. Runs well. Perfectly interchanges with 3 yr old gtanddaughter's Thomas The Train set and cars. She was thrilled to get it at Christmas.

  • Cute!
Style: Single
I love the small engine it comes with. It runs very well, it can't pull much due to its size.

  • Quiet, quality built tiny train.
Style: Single
Quality and quiet small train. Easy to assemble and stays on track fairly well. My 5 year old enjoys using the controller to speed up or slow down the engine and cars.

  • My son loves it! Track is hard to assemble but I know there are reasons for that.
Style: Single
Great little train. My son loves it. He’s only four and wants to touch it all the time and keeps knocking it off the track. That said, it’s seems durable because of that.

This was a simple gift for my son who is infatuated with trains. Easy to operate and manage. Got it at warehouse prices.

  • Poor quality engine
Style: Single
Year one we had no trouble. Train ran fine for our Christmas village until the day before taking everything down. Engine stopped running. Motor went bad and would sometimes run for a few seconds and then stop.

  • Super cute
Style: Single
It’s very small but it’s very cute. It’ll look great under my Christmas Tree
