Review: Another great train from BigJigs - Another great train from BigJigs, it's surprising how these wooden train sets can get so large!. As always the grand kids are the excuse. This one works very well, has the traction to pull several coaches and get up all sorts of inclines on a variety of track layouts with a great battery life, and rarely falls of the track.
Review: Good product - The product itself is brilliant. We did have a lot of trouble getting the small screw out to put batteries in. The head seemed a bit mashed inside which meant a screwdriver wasn’t grabbing to unscrew it. We eventually got it out but had to through it away.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How fast is this compared to the brio ones?**
A: I personally found this train more powerful and quicker than some of the Brio ones particularly when towing carriages. My Grandson particularly liked the train noises it makes.

**Q: Does this train have chugging sound effects?**
A: Yes it dose.. very good item just look after the rubber part that go on the 2 back wheels, for better pulling of the other trains you may attach..

**Q: Will this free wheel/ can you push it ?**
A: No you cannot push it. The two pairs of middle wheels only turn by battery power.

**Q: Would it work on Ikea wooden train track?**
A: Raj although we do not have Ikea track we have wooden track from 3 different sources and the train works well on all of them . All the tracks seem to be interchangeable .. my guess would be that the train would be ok.  Mike

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun and fast!
*by L***0 on 17 February 2024*

Fastest train we own! Lots of power. The only negative is it makes a noise the whole time! Other trains just make a noise for a few seconds, this is constant. Fits the brio wooden railway track. Briliant little train
