Top positive review

Great price and packaging is awesome

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2023

Purchased this for my toddler to see around the Christmas tree, and the controls are actually simple to drive and produce different sounds. I had this up around the tree from Thanksgiving through Kings Day and the batteries lasted during that timeframe. I had this setup on wood floors and didn't have any issues with the train de-railing or coming off the track. The box made it easy to repack and store for next year as well.

Ordered train early to gift to kids, but received defective train - didn’t know until after return window passed. We are stuck with $100 broken train as customer service and “warranty services” are of no help… take head and open immediately or just order something else!

It’s so nice!! Our 2yo is in love with trains and cars lately and loves Mickey. This has become his favorite thing. It’s literally been running for two days straight because he won’t let us turn it off lol. He loves playing with the remote and pushing the train whistle buttons. Its perfect for around the tree base too. Get it! It’s so cute.

My daughter (and husband) love this train! It is so cute! We set it up to run around our Christmas tree. A little worried about it running smoothly on the carpet but so far we’ve had no problems. The cars are well built and durable. I will say that the connectors between the trains could be a little more structurally sound. My two year old wants to touch it, and when she does, it can sometimes come off the track or come apart at the connectors. But, she's two and that's just life with a toddler. :) The sound effects are super cute. It would nice if you could adjust the volume. Super happy with this purchase tho! It’s been a win for our family!

The Lionel Series of ready to play trains are awesome. We have two different sets. It is durable, kid friendly, fantastic remote control with bell, whistle and a couple of voice sayings "next stop north pole," and "next stop mickeys house"

I only give it 4 stars because I expected the voices to be Disney Characters like Mickeys voice. But no they are a unknown voice, possibly intended to be Santa? Lionel missed the boat on the audio clips, but perhaps it was a licensing issue with Disney. Too bad. Other than that the train is like the other ready-to-play sets that Lionel produces. Kid friendly, easy to operate for even toddlers as early as 3- 4 years old, and rugged.

Sets like these will get more kids interested in trains and model railroading as they grow older.
You can not go wrong with the Ready-to-play Lionel sets.

Bought it for my grandson last year. It’s a great train, the only draw back is when in reverse you can’t have the extra cars on the train or it derails. Grandson loves it. Great noises too.

The train runs great and the vocal and sound effects are terrific. I may be 77 but I'm having a ball playing with it! Actual durability will be determined over time .

Cute but not for toddlers

The media could not be loaded.

I am sad that Mickey broke within 30 mins of opening the box.

We love the size of the train and the track is large enough to go around a large tree. The details on the train are very cute and the train is well made and sturdy. The remote is easy to use. However, there are several things that we dislike.

1) Within 30 mins of the kids opening the box, Mickey broke.
2) Each part of the train connects with a very insecure hitch (which I took a picture of). The train kept coming apart and we spend a lot of time trying to reconnect the train.
3) The wheels of the train come off the tracks easily and frequent adjustments are needed to keep the train running.
4) Even though the sounds on the train are very cute, clear, and fun; it is very loud and there isn’t a way to turn the sound down.

Overall it is a neat train set but I wouldn’t recommend this for toddlers.
