Customer Reviews

A must for Brio collectors!
My 2 1/2 year old son absolutely LOVES this car! He has had a Brio train set for a few months now and was delighted to see the train take on a life of its own and move by itself! This train can only pull about five cars or so with any speed, but my son loaded all of his up and it still pulled, just VERY slowly! Enjoy!

Brings the set to life
Our son is not yet three, so he has a hard time pushing the trains around the tracks he builds. However, this train enables him to really bring the tracks to life. He loves the train, and sleeps with it every night. In spite of the admittedly rough treatment, it has held up very well. Nice addition to any Thomas or Brio set.

Rechargeable batteries
It's true that this toy eats AAA batteries. However, I've located rechargable NiCad AAA batteries, and tried them out.

The train will run for somewhere between 40 and 50 minutes continuously on a fresh charge. My 4 year old does not run the train continously, so a single charge lasts longer than his attention span for any given day.

Rechargables do carry some maintenance, however. In particular, if you leave the unit on much past when the battery is drained, you can permanantly kill it. My four year old seems to be able to handle this responsibility. It has been a learning experience.
