World Remote Control Travel Train – RC Toy Passenger Train, Compatible with BRIO World Wooden Railway Track & Sets, Add-On Accessory for Kids 3 Years and Up

Real good train that works on both the older wood track and new even a 2 year old finds it easy and fun to use.

My 3yr old son had requested this train after seeing it on youtube and was overjoyed when it arrived and I could not get it out of the packaging fast enough. The Train needs 2 1.5V AA Batteries and the Controller also needs 2 1.5V AA Batteries. Having read the reviews we were braced for a faulty or poor performing train and sure enough after 30mins of messing about trying all the batteries we could find and getting the battery checker to make sure that we were definitely using fully charged batteries, the train was only able to travel backwards and the remote did nothing... My husband broke the news to my 3yr old that it had to be returned... disappointment all round... then, Super Mum (that's me) re-read the instructions and saw that they specify 1.5v AA Batteries. On examining all the batteries we (my husband) had used it transpired they were all 1.2v. I then turn the house upside down and empty all battery operated toys in the house in search of 1.5V AAs and change all 4 of the batteries. Voila a 100% working train that goes back and forward, up and down bridges and honks - 3y old son is absolutely ecstatic.

Good train. My 6 year old loves it. Not very fast but not bad. Strong enough to pull a couple of carriages. Gets up small hills. Tips for people who can't get the remote to work:1. Make sure the remote and train are switched to the same channel (A or B).2. Activate the train by pressing the forward button on the top of it. The remote won't work until the train is activated first.3. It's infra red so you need to point the remote at the red window on top of the train. Just like your tv remote needs to be pointed at the TV. Move closer or elevate slightly so there is a clear line of sight between controller and top of train. (Also make sure child's hand is not covering the front of the controller.)4. If you have bright sunlight the infra red won't be very effective. Darken the room.

A solid quality product with prompt delivery and well packaged. A few things to note; to initiate control of the train you first need to ensure both remote and train are set to the same remote Channel A or B, press any button on the engine, the remote control is infra red so is line of sight you may need to orientate the remote control as your engine goes round the track- ensure the signal emitter (red bulb bit) is facing towards the train. The remote control and engine take two AA batteries each which lasts about 8 hrs continuous use in the engine before noticeably fading performance but still useable well beyond that. But the two batteries means it is fairly powerful but is slow. The remote control has four positions - locked forward, forward, stop and reverse. The engine has great sounds associated with its movement- including a chuffing sound when it first moves off, a braking sound when stopped and a horn which can be sounded from the remote control also has on/off switchable headlights again controllable from the remote control. The engine can easily pull three carriages but seems to get grounded when reversing up hills. With a character seated in the carriage it wouldn’t pass over the Brio arch bridge we had- the character’s head getting caught in the over beams but passes through our tunnels without issue. Being used by my 2 + years old boy he preferred the control buttons on the engine itself rather than the remote control. The remote control is dual channel A or B and the engine needs to be set to the corresponding channel. Does mean the same controller could be used alternating between Channel A and B to control a second remote control Brio engine or two remote control engines can be used without interfering with each other ( I noticed a red remote control freight train is also available) A brilliant addition to our Brio kit. Just to top things an auto shut off after a few minutes saves on battery drainage. Arguably the best featured powered engine available. Wishing other engines available had this feature set.

I bought this train for my 2 year old daughter, it was for her birthday and it was the most played with toy. I had already bought the Tesco wooden track and train and saw this train come up on a deal for only £7 so snapped it up.It needs AA batteries in both the remote and train but lasts for quite some time as she constantly played with it. I could hear the whirring of the train when she had left it running off the track! This will also run on hard floors so they will have great fun all over the house.The remote is simple and easy for little hands to control, my daughter particularly liked the lights and horn button on it!This is a really lovely train and it was made fantastic by the price I got it for. Such a bargain.

One of the battery compartments does not release the battery. Therefore there is no way to replace the battery once depleted.Brio didn’t help much and blamed the brand new amazon battery (!)This was a birthday present for a five year old , so now has to be taken away to be returned.Very frustrating experience.In summary the train / toy itself isn’t great anyway. Slow, doesn’t really climb bridges, the infrared control is a bit hit and miss, there also is no noticeable difference in speed in ‘fast mode’.I should’ve perhaps read all the other poor reviews before purchasing (!)*update* actually went for a Hape App controlled Train as a replacement. I have been a loyal historic customer of Brio but this is much better. Kids much prefer it too. Better control, more powerful; faster and better sounds, also usb chargeable - perfect!

More expensive than I would like to pay, but I wanted to get something reliable for my son, nothing worse than a toy breaking and an upset child. Great product, pulls four carriages easily could possibly pull more. Remote needs to be visible to the train as it works off infra red, a bit like a tv remote control, this can be annoying if there is no line of sight and I can't see why they could not use a standard radio control instead? The train can be used without the control as it has buttons on top. Works fine with our mix of compatible train tracks. Brought this for my son, but really it was more for me than him as pushing trains around by hand is only so fun for a while.

Avoid this. It’s fun, but we had to replace the batteries every few DAYS, and then after a few months completely died. Not worth the money.

At first it worked perfectly but after some normal usage it now will only go backwards. Very sad because we expected this to last at least a few years, not weeks.

手持ちのBRIOの線路に合わせて遊びました。トミカのスピードよりも緩やかで、早すぎず遅すぎず2歳児でも落ち着いて遊ぶことができて満足です。コントローラーも問題なく作動し、ライトやブレーキ音なども可愛らしくて楽しいです。

The toy is durable and well built. The 'owner' kid (5 yr old) loves it and runs the wheels off of it. So far, it's stood up ok. The linkage between remote and loco is kinda fiddly - but she figured out how to point the remote at the loco and is happily starting and stopping, and fiddling the light. Like any battery toy -- you have to put batteries in it. I'm going to try rechargables (nimh) to ease the burden on the ecology, but no experience yet.

El juguete funciona perfecto, mi hijo quedó encantado, sobre algunos comentarios de que tenias que estar muy cerca, (la verdad lo compré con ese temor), pero no, al ser infrarrojo obviamente tienes que estar cerca pero al menos a un rango de 1.5 M funciona sin problema, también depende de la carga de las baterías. Muy recomendable

Offert à mon fils pour son Noël, le train fonctionne vraiment bien, et le télécommande répond parfaitement, adaptable sur les circuits des autres marques que celle de brio, et comporte 2 canal pour faire fonctionner 2 loco indépendamment, traction correctle télécommande se met parfois en veille, il suffit alors de ré-appuyer sur les boutons de la locomotive et c'est reparti
