We have had bad luck with this lovely toy. I think it is poorly manufactured because it broke, we got a new one and it broke right away. Our battery powered thomas runs fine. Skip this lady.

This battery powered Lady engine does not run well on generic wooden tracks; e.g. non-branded wooden tracks such as those sold by Ikea. The Thomas engine with three pairs of wheels however runs well on generic wooden tracks. If this is going to be your first purchase, buy the battery powered Thomas engine first, if you do not plan to invest in the Thomas railroad thematic sets. The Thomas and friends engines will give your kid hours of fun constructing railroads, little towns, etc.

Lady was a gift for my grandchildren to go with their Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway set. They spend hours playing with the trains and enjoy them immensely. They especially like the battery powdered engines. They have most of them.

My son received both battery-powered Lady and battery-powered Salty at the same time. He loves Salty but doesn’t care at all for Lady. He is 2. He likes to make the trains go himself rather than seeing them go on their own. This is where battery-powered Lady let us down. Unlike bp Salty, bp Lady’s wheels are locked when she is not running on her own. The wheels are not completely locked; you can still move her along if you press down on her really hard and push her along, but this is not fun to do…so, my son just doesn’t even go anywhere near her. Too bad, because otherwise, Lady is very likeable (she is is very durable and had no problems going up hills or making turns on our Thomas wood tracks).

A great addition to your Thomas collection but I would not recommend it for younger children since the motor mechanism is somewhat fragile and is easily broken if you try to push it back and forth on the tracks manually, which is exactly what my 2.5 year old likes to do thinking it is the same as her other trains.
