Easy handling and operation.
The details are realistic and coupling cars is... easy. The wheels are easy to mount onto track due to size. These features allow play for young children easy and fun! The remote is simple to operate and handle even for a 3 year old.

Train
I like the train but to me from the pictures it appeared to be made of... metal, Also why didn't they make it run on 110volt power or transformer power like the regular Lionel trains, Batteries C size are costly so if you plan to use or play with it a lot buy rechargeable batteries, The reason I said no on durable a lot of plastic. Reason I said I recommend it is because it cost a lot less than a regular Lionel train.

Exeeded My Expectations
I was surprised to see the negative reviews on this ...product, but after reading them I think most of them were from people that did not read or understand the product description. This is a 'G' scale toy plastic train with plastic track that is battery powered and is controlled by an R/C unit. I have not seen another 'G' scale set with better quality equipment and features for the price. The engine has built-in sound that makes a steam 'chuff' noise synchronized to the speed of the engine. It also makes a steam brake release noise when it stops. It has a bell sound and whistle that you can control from the R/C unit. It has 3 speeds in both forward and reverse directions. The speeds seems very prototypical. The speed is also momentum controlled - the train speeds up and slows down at a measured pace just like a real train. The detail on the engine is quite good for a 'toy' train. I had the same experience with the included batteries as others - they barely moved the train for a few minutes and then conked out. I replaced the standard batteries with alkaline ones and it ran for about 10 hours before needing replacement. I have switched to a compatible 9.6v rechargeable battery that works great, is cheaper to run, and environmentally better. The packaging states the set is for kids 4 years or older. Both my 4-1/2 year old and 2 year old can run the train with the R/C controller (and did not stop playing with it for almost a week). However they do not have the dexterity to couple the cars or snap the track together. I would guess that a 5 or 6 year old would be able to assemble and operate everything without adult help. They have banged the engine, thrown the controller, and knocked the coaches around quite a bit without any damage. For model railroaders or anyone who wants to tinker, you could add lighting to the coaches fairly easily. I think the train would work well outdoors if you want to try creating a garden railway. I do wish Lionel would make more track options - an 'X' crossing and R/L hand switches would allow expansion to a true train layout instead of just an oval or circle. I don't think you could find a better quality radio controlled toy 'G' scale train with so many features for such a low price.

Very entertaining
Highly entertaining toy with great sound effects, lights, ...and controls. Speed can be adjusted and can even go in reverse. Good quality components that are light-weight yet durable. Highest speed setting is not extremely fast though that may be preferred. Also runs well in reverse. Track can be modified to make three different shapes including a circle, a square, and an oval. Could easily be the centerpiece of a Christmas display and, likely, the most fun.

New version for better or worse
The train is maid of plastic but has a quali...ty feel. Previous version had a battery compartment in the tender and most importantly could take a 9.6V rc battery pack, which this version cannot. This new version has a battery compartment in the engine with a recommendation for alkaline batteries. The good thing is that there is no wire between tender and engine, the bad thing is that it seems to be designed for non rechargable batteries which is more than a little backwards. Another thing that feels cheapish is the cool led light. I can't understand why they didn't use a more realistic warm white led.
