Lionel Trains Polar Express Train Set - O Gauge

Wow this was worth the hassle to find. We lucked out and got it at retail price and delivered before Christmas. This was my 6 yr old son's first "real" electric train. What a special train it is. The details are fantastic. Lionel out did themselves! The engine is sooo heavy and very well built. The passenger/observational cars were suprisingly light, but incredibly detailed, quite beautiful! Transformer is powerful, track easy to put together. The characters are to scale and he has placed in the train and they ride around sticking out the end of the cars and in the engine. Smoke stack works perfect. Everything is just great. I guess we have a train enthusiast now. He runs it every day... and is soooo proud of it. He is so careful with it and teaches all his friends all about it. Worth every penny. -- Customer Reviews

Lionel Polar Express Train Set - G-Gauge

Customer Reviews. Not sure what everyone is talking about, because I have not had any problems with this train. I love it and think it is a great addition to our holiday traditions. I am so glad that I didn't listen to the negative reviews! This train is a great basic train for little ones. I have a 4 and 2 year old and they have had a great time playing with it. I have had to teach them not to touch it once I get it set up because, yes, the train falls off the track if kids are trying to play with the cars. Yes, the track comes apart if someone is stepping or pulling on it. Yes, the couplings don't stay together when the trains fall off the track. I didn't expect any more...that sounds pretty obvious to me. But once set up on the track, it runs smoothly...on our carpeted basement floor. The remote control makes it a great "toy" without them having to actually play with the train. I love the forward/reverse as well as the bell, whistle and conductor call sounds. We also didn't have any trouble with the batteries provided. We set it up a a couple weeks ago and our kids have played with it almost everyday without having to replace batteries yet. I don't have any complaints at all about this train. I'm so glad I bought it!
