The media could not be loaded. I absolutely love this train. For some years, my partner has wanted to relive her childhood memory of a steam train under the Christmas tree. After going with a Lego City train a couple of years ago (epic fail), I found a very cheap version (£12) which looked the part. But without a remote control, and no possibility to turn off the sound, it was no more than an ornament.This train addresses all those issues. The remote control allows the train to be stopped and started and the sound to be turned on and off.The track assembly is a little fragile, and you will need a nice flat surface, or the track will simply fall apart.Also, the steam is a little hit & miss. At first, it wouldn’t work at all, then one morning, it suddenly worked, and when it does, as you can in my video, it’s quite spectacular. The addition of the track “furniture” is interesting, if completely unnecessary, but it gave me 15 minutes entertainment assembling 2 trees and 8 signs and sticking the stickers on them. I appreciate the addition of a little screwdriver needed to access the battery compartment of the train and the remote control, and a water dropper to add water to make the steam. The only missing component is batteries for the remote. Make sure you have 2 AA batteries on hand.The track diameter, if circular, is a little smaller than most at 84cm which is absolutely perfect for our tree. Many are 104cm which would be too big for us, so delighted to find this ideal-for-us size. I’m sure it will now serve as our under-the-tree train for many years to come.Finally, I think it’s pretty good value for what you get and all the functionality, compared with others I’ve seen, and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Highly recommended.

The media could not be loaded. Absolutely love this train set, looks great under the Christmas tree, such a great asset. Everyone that's seen it thinks it's fabulous, from the authentic sounds of a steam train and the added bonus of steam coming from the funnel. Best buy.

This is a great train set with a lot of features for the money. Easy to operate via the remote control even for a two year old. We stapled the track onto some ply wood to save a youngster from throwing the track all over the place. The steam makes it very authentic.

I'm not sure where the high star ratings come from, but for me this is tat for £43. Maybe if it was half that it'd be OK.One coupling was broken before the train was even on the track - quick superglue fix though.3 days out of the box and the train just runs when on, it won't stop any more, although other functions work. Even after disconnected from the battery for a recharge. (Edit: 48 hours later and it's operating as usual again).I will say the steam effect is really good and my son loves the train, but as an adult and the person parting with my hard-earned, I'm very disappointed.

This was a gift for my husband, so he could have a train that circled our Christmas tree. He really seemed to like it when he put it together. It was easy to assemble, it's not the highest of quality, but I feel I got value for money. However he struggled to get the stream function to operate and the train details if you up anything in one of the open train compartments.

Good toy, easy to assemble and should last the tantrums of a 3yr old for a few months at least. Thanks

Engine creates a lot of noise - horn and ‘chuffing’ before is starts to move

Did not disappoint, lovely train set and steam does really work….
