  • Great quality train. Not crazy about the track.
Size: Complete Set
The media could not be loaded. The only other train I have experience with is Bachman’s Chattanooga (HO) which I set up every xmas. This Polar Express train (HO) is every bit as good as that train. The locomotive is beautiful. Heavy, detailed, and the wheels on all the cars sit well in the track. The remote is easy to use. Syncs to locomotive immediately. Not a single flaw I can find on any of the cars. Plus, it’s the Polar Express, it’s like having the movie play out on your floor. That’s worth 5 stars right there. I had it set up and running within 10 minutes. The only issue I have is that I don’t like the track. It’s very quick and easy to set up, as it connects with magnets on the ends, but there can be issues with the rails not lining up perfectly, causing the train to derail a little bit. EZ track (HO) is much better in my opinion so I’m going to ditch the track that came with this train. It only comes with enough for a small oval anyway, and my layout goes all over the house, which takes a significant amount of good track. Engine sound and other sound effects are fantastic, but loud. I run it with the sound off unless everyone in the house is awake... ... show more

  • What a disappointment
Size: Complete Set
This train must have been really used before I received it. Some of the tracks are broken, the caboose bottom just falls off. Remote control doesn’t work. Tried 8 different brand new Triple A batteries. Doesn’t connect to Bluetooth. - I should have spent the extra $20 on a new one. My 6 year old grandson wouldn’t be in tears right now!!! ... show more

  • The train was great but the tracks suck!
Size: Complete Set
The train worked really well although the remote didn’t sync with the locomotive and the track caused the train to derail.

  • Okay set...bad track, though.
Size: Complete Set
I've loved the Polar Express since I was a kid, it was the first movie I can remember watching. That being said, this set was a huge opportunity for me, as I run everything in HO gauge. I wasn't pleased with the molded-on details, the only separately applied part on the locomotive was the bell. It ran very well, but only on non-lionel track. Once I switched to EZ track, everything was smooth. The sound was very loud, I had it on once and then never again. Be careful with the wire connecting the tender to the engine, I had to solder it back together after my brother got to it. Overall, its good for a starter set, but not for much above. ... show more

  • Good and bad
Size: Complete Set
The track is junk; consequently the power supply is useless. I recommend using Bachmann’s Snap Track and power supply instead. The heart of the system, the locomotive, takes some getting used to. I had several derailments the 1st day, pulling its 3 cars and running it on a figure 8 track with piers supporting part of the figure 8. Put all on level ground, still many derailments. Bend the extension out the back of the locomotive up to keep the loco attached to the tender. Otherwise you could damage the cords that connect it to the tender. Ran it the 2nd day with only the loco & the tender & on level ground, no derailments; I will try pulling just 2 cars and on level ground to see what happens. The tiny bell at the front of the loco was defective and was not even attached, too bad since the bell is a huge part of the sound effects. The sounds and voice coming out of the speaker in the tender were rather nice. I have not been able to get my phone to connect via Bluetooth for more than a few seconds, but connection with the handheld remote is rather good. All in all, if it weren’t for my grandchildrens’ love of the movie, I’d probably send it back. I suppose it’s OK overall, but steer clear of the track that comes with it, it’s worthless. ... show more

  • Great value for the money
Size: Complete Set
I bought this train set because I have an older analog train set and noticed it was compatible with my track and controller. This was an excellent choice it works very well on my old HO track as well as the track layout it came with. I was surprised at how easy the Bluetooth app is to use. The wireless remote it comes with also works very well. One thing I noticed is that this train does not have a smoke option. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and would certainly recommend it to others. ... show more

  • Junk
Size: Complete Set
I’d give it negative stars if I could. I bought my son a $100 plastic track that was better than this. The track is extremely flimsy and won’t stay together and our engine wouldn’t run. This track isn’t worth $75 needless to say over $300
