Excellent train set. My son loves it and it has been working fine. He has been playing with it for a few days now and no problems...train runs faster with rechargeable battery pack compared to using 6 c-batteries in the tender. This older set has the panel on the roof of a passenger car that you can flip and reveal a hobo on the roof..

For the amount of money I paid on this train from Lionel, I kind of expected a better product. The tracks were a pain to put together and the engine, tender and passenger cars continuously fall off the track. It big and bulky. However, I will add that my son, age 3, although he knows how to use these trains with their remotes, he prefers to play with the train, pushing it himself. So it could be a bad experience with it because he's not using it the way it was intended to be used. But still, with him gently pushing it around the track, the engine is constantly coming off the track. It has these "floating" wheels in the front and in the back that I can NEVER seem to get on the track. My son loves this engine. We have a Lionel O Gauge train, so my expectations were set very high. I seem to be the one that's more aggravated with this train, which doesn't really matter since I'm not the one who is playing with it. It put the biggest smile on my son's face and he's loving every minute of playing with it. That's all that matters, right?Read full review

Nice train set and entertaining, the only hard part is getting in and out of the box, if you planning to play this train alot you must get a big box and put it there for easy storage and play. Then save the box too.

This product looks great. It is well packaged and the parts are good quality. The problem is that it doesn't work! My son and I put it all together but the remote (which does look very cheap) would not communicate with the train. We tried changing the batteries but that was not the problem. It is simply not acceptable for a reputable train manufacturer to have less than perfect quality control. We sent it back.

When you spend this much money on a train set you expect it to be easy and fun to run. The train, figures and remote functions are great and any child that loves the movie Polar Express is intrigued. But the train is extremely hard to keep on the track and the links between cars wasnt designed well as the cars are constantly coming unhooked. Plus I wish there was an off switch on the train instead of having to unplug the caboose because when you do the cars usually unlink again or come off the track. I am very disappointed.

This train was more than I had hoped for. It was larger than I thought it would be. Easy to assemble. The remote is very easy for a young child to handle and control. The sound effects from the train are quite realistic. There are many places on the train that the figurines can fit. I bought this for my four year old grandson and he loves it.
