Summary: Incredible! Wow is an understatement
Comment: Our son (5yrs 4mos) is a Lego, vehicle, and train enthusiast. This was the only thing he asked for Christmas. He put everything together himself with VERY little direction from Dad (4 cars he did completely by himself just from the pictorials!). It is lightning FAST, STURDY, and SMOOTH - above and beyond our wildest expectations (other vehicles cranes, loaders, etc were rather delicate more for admiring and not necessarily for playing - but this is made for a 5 year old to PLAY). The remote controller can operate up to 3 trains with one control. Christmas is now 5 days past and my son has only left this train long enough to eat and sleep LITERALLY and that is so unlike him. He is having a blast, and as parents we are marveled at watching his excitement, accomplishment and desire to be creative. This train was WORTH EVERY PENNY - You will not be disappointed! Of all the gadgets, toys and things we have gotten, I've not ever left a review - this I just couldn't ignore - it really is that fantastic. We are looking at getting the Lego passenger train in the near future - it is that awesome. Best of luck.

Summary: Great incarnation of the Lego Train System
Comment: I have been collecting Lego trains for nearly thirty years now, and I have to say that this model holds the same magic that that original train thirty years ago held for me. There are certainly improvements in the system, and the way it is powered has changed somewhat, but it still has the same basics.
One thing to note is that the tracks are not compatible with the tracks from the first era of trains, so if you have the old blue tracks you do have to do some funky things in order to combine the two systems together. The trains, however, do fit in the same gauge so if you have a train from one system it work fine on the tracks from the other system.
This is apparently the end of this generation of Lego train, and a new generation is going to be introduced sometime in the next year or two. Apparently the tracks will still be compatible, which is very good news.

Summary: Wow! What fun!
Comment: We love this train! My son is a lego enthusiast and a train enthusiast, so this is great for him. His is six, but with a bit of help, was able to build the whole set. More track is a MUST! We like the ability to be creative - to change the track every time we build it. You have to have more track for that. The remote control has worked great. Be sure you push the forward button more that one time. We were pushing it only once, and it was going so slow, we were disappointed. But then we learned that if you push it multiple times, the speed increases - in fact, the train flies around the track! Amazing! This wasn't in the instructions.
