I am editing my review because of how quickly the batteries run out. This is a good train at an unbeatable price. Although the price is low, the quality is impressive. I have owned two of these trains and I love them both. It's only been a few years, so I can't attest to how it will hold up in 10 years +, but I have to say I'm pretty confident it will last a long time. You can just tell it's a good quality set when you pick up the cars and feel their weight. The controls are very simple and they're perfect for either a kid or an adult. I know it's mostly for kids, but I'm an adult and I just love it. I couldn't really afford to invest $400+ for my first train, and this one looks wonderful around the tree. It's awesome to have the remote which lets you control the speed, direction and play sound effects. If you're looking for a nice gift which can be used every Christmas for years to come I highly recommend this train. Also just so you know before purchasing: this is the cheaper model, so you won't be able to add additional cars like in the more expensive models of the Polar Express, but you can extend the track as long as you want, just make sure you buy the Ready to Play track. I rated volume control 1 stars, because there is no volume control, but it's a train and I wasn't really expecting that anyway. Ideally there would be a volume control, but it's ok as trains are supposed to make noise. Unfortunately the batteries don't seem to last that long, so just be prepared that you'll need to have a massive amount of batteries if you want to run it during the whole holiday season. Update: I think I've figured out that what happens: I think the batteries inside the controller weaken because I can't use the sound FX right now, but it still controls the train. When I turn the train on it doesn't have the train sounds either, but it still runs. I'm certain this will be fixed replacing the batteries, but I'm mentioning this because it is kind of a cool unintentional feature, because now I have the train still running and it isn't as noisy. So I think the batteries on the train last a while, but you just may need to replace the controller ones. I definitely recommend the train!

Easy to setup, kids enjoy the sounds, stays on the track. Most authentic-looking steam locomotive you can find at the price point. Only downside is the description says Berkshire but it's clearly a Mikado. However, the kids haven't noticed the missing axle.

This train set works great and is awesome! For everyone who said it comes off tracks, comes unhooked, and won't work on carpet, etc., They are wrong because they didn't set it up right. Each track must be clipped together and it's easy to miss a couple. I did myself at first. And if you use the clips they include in a small bag, your trains will not come unhooked. Also you must set each train onto the track properly. Each train has at least 4 wheels, and they ALL must be set on the tracks. So do those things and your train will work perfectly. This train set is for adults and is NOT for children. I let my 3 yo have the remote to play with it and it works great. But I do not let her touch the tracks or trains. Again, this is not a train set for children to play with, just to look at and control. The sounds are great just like the movie! And yes it works on carpet.

Good priced and decent quality train for the Christmas tree. Nice large size, stays on track well, as long as you put some time into making sure the track is correctly assembled and flat on the ground. It was relatively easy for me to buy additional LED lights to light up the coach cars and to buy Lionel figures to place onto the train. Has run well for about 2 weeks now and also stood up well to cats knocking it over. Would highly recommend, esp. if you are an experienced hobby or DIY person.

My son got one for Christmas and it was one of the things he was most excited about when he saw it. Really easy to assemble, makes great sounds and easy to operate, my 3 year old absolutely loves his. My only negative is that it can be slightly difficult to get oriented correctly on the tracks but if you’re careful it’s not too bad. I really had to search for anything that was a negative about this toy train overall it’s awesome and was bigger than I expected!
