Review: Chug, Chug, Chug - Our Grandson's face lit up when he opened up this train. "Oh! That's what I've always wanted!" It works well and you can take that as the truth from a very happy four year old. Trains are very big right now and Thomas and Friends are everywhere from books to T.V. It seems to be made well and moves along the track with the help of the batteries which cannot be removed by a child. It takes a screwdriver to open the train's little space for batteries. This is a good idea because a certain little brother might get a loose battery into his mouth if they were accessable. So it seems to be a great toy. We played with it on the floor without a track too. On the floor it goes pretty fast. But of course the track is best. It was a good addition to his train collection.
Review: Great toy, but you really need to supervise younger kids with it - This train moves much faster than I expected. It's a lot of fun for the kids. It works on carpet too, not just the train tracks. You really need to be careful using this toy around younger kids though. It's definitely an entanglement hazard when it comes to hair. And the wheels have a pinch point. Just use common sense and your kids will be just fine playing with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They keep going and going!
*by T***E on February 22, 2018*

This James train is great! My son absolutely love all of his motorized trains. They stay on the tracks well as long as he does not lean on or bump the track to much. The train can even jump the track with the tender attached. They really make for lots of fun. We pulled out his tracks for his birthday party and the trains were a hit and the batteries last for a very long time. He even leave them running and they still last. I 100% suggest this toys for 3yo and up! You also have to be mindful of kids with longer hair and the wheels it will get stuck in their hair!
