Love the train. Glad I went with O-GAUGE. Very sturdy and has enough weight to sit flat on carpet. Grankids love it. Only complaint is that you can't record your own voice as advertised, VSR. Went online and this is a common issue.

No tiene sonido este tren. Esta muy bonito pero defectuoso

Works as advertised. Smoke feature is great and better than I was expecting considering this is a starter set. Do not use more smoke fluid than directions indicate. A smoke feature that stops working, is intermittent, or only works at high speeds, could be the result of too much oil. Remove locomotive from the track and turn it upside down on a paper towel so oil can drain out of the smoke stack. After a couple hours, place locomotive back on track, add recommended amount of oil and resume running. If smoke continues to be intermittent, with locomotive at idle blow down smoke stack to remove air lock/a stuck plunger. Once excess oil burns off, plunger should work as intended and smoke great.

I got this for my grandson (and maybe for me, too) for Christmas. It has great track sections that easily snap together and stay attached. (I mounted it to a sheet of plywood that’s covered with short-pile, outdoor green carpet). Each track section has two pre-drilled mounting holes. The train cars are well-built and have good coupler mechanisms. The remote works great. The app control also works good. I liked it enough to also get a Polar Express model for my wife!

Very nice train set, having WiFi opens up many options, being able to operate with your phone, well made with the engine being heavy, and the sound of the whistle and the bells are a plus
