Crappy setup
Didn't work, train was already not assembled out of the box. No way to assemble it back together.

    Polar Express Train-Battery Operated
    First of all, I ordered the train on 12/14--2 days after the deadline for it to be delivered by Christmas. I figured it would come afterwards--but I was shocked when it came on the 23rd! Hurray! Thank you, Lionel! The train was a HUGE hit;believe it or not, it was for my husband because he loves trains and we've always had one under the tree, until ours died a couple of years ago. Plus he loves the movie Polar Express! Our grandchildren absolutely loved it and now all the kids/grandkids want one.That will make Christmas easier next year!

    Train A Track F
    Polar Express train is easy to set up and looks and sounds great. Remote is easy to use forward and backward.. Works on batteries so no wires to worry about. Need to be careful about setting train on track so that it runs properly. Only Major concern when taking track apart the connecting snaps broke so track became useless for future use. Lionel sent extra replacement track and were easy to work with. Hopefully new track will not break.

    Great purchase!
    Cool toy! The kids love it! It does frequently go off track, but I feel that could be helped with a little more weight to the cars. I'm assuming the more expensive models remedy this and am considering it for a future purchase.

    Best Gift for a 5 Year Old
    The tracks can be connected very easily without much hazzle and so does the compartments of the train. The quality of the train is up to the standards expected from Lionel Trains as well. The audio is very clear and the train looks very realistic to the one in the movie! We've been watching the movie and playing with the set simultaneously for sometime now, and it never feels like enough (even for an adult)! My son loves this set soo much.

    Big boys and their toys
    I purchased this set as a gift for my husband. He had a train growing up that they put under the tree and he always reminisced about that. I decided to make his Christmas and give him a new train for new memories. He loves it.

    It definitely makes the Christmas tree! All aboard
    I like the size of it and the train did not go off the rails, even at full speed. The hardest part is putting it on the track correctly.

    fun for everyone, parent needed to realign.
    fun for all ages, only down side is that it needs an adult (possibly a teen) to re-align the train on the tracks. If you have more than one little kid, they are bound to keep knocking the train off the tracks in their attempt to play with it, then it takes another 5-10 minutes to get the train realigned again... seems to be fairly sturdy, although my kids did manage to break a bit of it, however, I was able to put it back together, so not too bad.

    New Christmas Tradition
    Great product for the price! My boys, 12 and 9, were excited to assemble this train. It works great and adds a festive element to our tree. It will be fun putting the train together every year.
