World Battery Operated Action Train - Motorized for Wooden Tracks - Kids Electric Set - Includes Moving Coal Wagon & Rotating Cement Mixer - Compatible with All Railway Sets - Kids Ages 3 & Up

Updated: The screw for the battery is in the smoke stack on top. NOT in the bottom where most batteries are. This says battery operated, but I was unable to change the battery. The battery is wired into the engine.

These are better than I expected. I’ve started Brio trans for my 1 year old grandson. I was shocked on how great these were. I even attached more cars and it could pull it.

My grandson loves this toy. Exactly as described. We love Brio toys.

It's really cute and still works after a few weeks of 2 toddlers playing with it! I like the little light that lights up in front and its cute how the coal car rocks back and forth. I made an oval track ,with my son's birthday cake in the middle of it, on the dining room table and had this train going around. It was so cute!! I like that it works with the standard wooden rail tracks. It runs with 1 AAA battery.

We have been potty training our train crazy son and it has been very difficult (he's autistic). He's struggling with #2 especially so I've been stocking up on little potty presents he can open if he has a success. This was the most recent potty present and he LOVES it! Indeed, it is very cute and works amazingly well! Some of these little battery powered magnetic trains (this takes one AAA) don't have enough guts to make it up a mild incline but this one has a surprising amount of power for its size! It's slow for sure, but my son doesn't mind. He only cares when they get derailed or can't make it up the hill. It's compatible with all the other magnetic trains and train cars out there and works on all our different brands of wooden track. Also unlike other trains of this sort, both of the cars it come with have action! The cement mixer spins and the coal car tips back and forth, also the front light of the train comes on and it goes backward and forward. Very very cute. All of these trains feel pretty expensive to me, but compared to most, you really get a lot out of this one. It's a definite winner in our house! Hope this helps. I did NOT receive this for free or at a discount.

I am way more impressed with this train than I expected to be! I didn't realize when I bought it that it would actually work on his wooden train tracks. That has made it a HUGE hit. It's easily his favorite train. With fresh batteries, it's strong enough to pull not only the two cars it comes with (which also have movement), but can pull other cars as well. Only a couple of small negatives. It's very quiet when it runs. Most probably think that's a positive, but I would prefer it to give a little more noise so I can locate it when the toddler has left it on. Also, the switch is a little tough for him to work because it has to be in the middle to be off. I think he'll get the hang of it eventually, but in the meantime mom will need to help.

The train was super slow, and then stopped. We put new batteries in and it went even slower until it didn’t work anymore.

I bought this for my grandson to go with the BRIO train set we also bought. The little engine only runs with one battery, so it's torque is pretty limited. It does pull the two cars through the layout just fine however. I didn't realize that the cement mixer turns as it is pulled so that was a pleasant surprise. Nice product.
