One of the best toy I got for my kid. They played with this one more than any other toy I seen.

My son had such a great time for the first day and then we had to change the battery the next day because it had drained very quickly.

I had to keep explaining to my son, age 2, that it’s not good to push it manually, because as everyone else complained I was worried about the clicking. We had decided maybe to take the engine away until he was a bit older and just let him have the track and the other non battery opperated car that came with it (mine was the Sir Topham Hatt set). But it was too late unfortunately and my son managed to break it. He pushed down on it to make it go manually and I think, bent the wheel, or the axel? Now it gets stuck and the back wheels stick and don’t move with even the slightest pressure. I works but not as well.

I think unless your child is old enough to just sit and watch the thing go round and round and keep the wheels clean, it’s best to buy the non battery powered engines.

This is a fun toy and my 2 and 6 year olds love it. However, there is a very hard to read warning on the underside of the train that says that hair may become tangled in wheels. They are not kidding! I had to cut that train out of my two year olds hair when he picked it up off the track and lifted it too close to his head. It happened in an instant! It was a bit traumatic for both of us. Fun toy, but can be dangerous.

I’m getting this train for all of my grand children when they turn 3!! So much fun! You need a star screw driver to open the battery chamber.
