Remote Control Train for Wooden Track – Battery Operated Locomotive with Opening Door, Action Figure, Lights & Sounds, Powerful Engine Compatible with Thomas & Brio, Gift for Toddlers 3+

Comparing it to our Brio engines this thing is awesome, especially the price point! Can haul quite a few cars behind it. All the sounds come directly out of the locomotive. The remote features are great and work as intended. We may purchase another for role playing since you can stop it and trigger horns from anywhere! Curious to find out how long it will last.

Easy to use, keeps my 2yo very busy. Sound is soft too !

Great quality. Just eats through batteries quick. But I think it could possibly be that there is not a clear on off button. The button to turn off is also the stop so my children leave it technically on but not running. But as a toy and enjoyability it’s great. Easy to use, not to loud our overly annoying.

So far so good. The grandchildren played with it all day without breaking. That says a lot!

It worked well for about ten minutes then the wheels stopped turning. It will randomly start to move very slowly, but for the price it was disappointing how quickly it stopped working.

Works great with and without the remote control. Big hit with all the kids. The sounds (other than the regular chugging) turn off after a few seconds so it also isn't annoying to the adults.

My child and I have recently started and expanded “our” wooden train collection including battery engines to pull all the cars. Naturally, this involved practically purchasing most battery engines on the market to compare them against each other. This bullet engine was put to the test against its steam engine design counterpart offered by the same company that is controllable with a remote as well (has fwd/reverse lights/sounds), Brios Mighty Red and h2o Steam Engine, and then the single button basic locomotive offered by the same company as this bullet engine. Hands down this bullet engine is the best. It operates on two AA batteries and this provides superior power and speed compared to all of those tested, most of which run off of one AA or more commonly available one to two AAA batteries. It was able to easily post the best time when put to speed lap tests and was able to pull the most cars out of those tested both on flat tracks and going up a single or double incline. Now, add in the fact that you get (and this is important) a line of sight remote to control your trains and this set goes over the top. You can control up to two trains (A&B Signal) from one remote with Fwd/Reverse, Train Horn, & Light control offered from the remote. My suggestion would to be to also pick up the compatible Locomotive black Steam engine that is offered by this same company and pair these two engines off the same remote. Note, this black steam engine came in second in our testing, it runs off one AA battery so is pretty powerful and fast, just not as much as this two AA battery Bullet engine model. Well my rambling has come to an end hope this was helpful and to summarize if you’re looking for one battery engine to buy for your wooden train set, look no further. You’ve found the one.
