Scientific Toys Grand Canyon Express Remote-Control Train Set - G Scale

This is an all-plastic, battery-operated, remote-control train set. It is G scale so if you make a circle to put around your Christmas tree, it will be about five feet in diameter. The 6 C batteries go into the tender which plugs into the engine. The engine has a light and a speaker that plays train sounds. The sounds are a little on the loud side, but kids like it. The remote control lets you run the train backward or forward and you can turn the sounds on or off. Despite being plastic, this train set has held up well. The track connections started to get a bit loose after about a year of play. There are not many accessories available to buy separately. Amazon does sell additional track to make a figure 8 for about ten dollars. If you and your kids area really into trains, then you might be better off with the more-expensive electric sets that you could grow into. Otherwise, this is a fun, realistic-looking and affordable set. Also, there are about six versions of this train set.

I bought this train set because I missed out on a similar one at Home Depot. For the price, this is a real deal. It is stable (doesn't fall of the tracks every time around the tree), has sounds (a Conductor, engine, bell and whistle sounds), it has a nice big light on the Engine and plenty of juice with 4 "C" batteries (not included). Most definitely worth the money.

The kid in me always wanted a Christmas tree train and this fills the bill. For the price I think it's great. It is rather loud and I don't plan on showing the grandchildren how to turn on the whistle and steam sound (although I'm sure they'll figure it out). If it gets too noisy I'll just send it home with them. Grandpa perks. Merry Christmas Y'all.

The toy set seems very good. It is pretty good sized.

The train and track are heavy, durable plastic and very colorful. The train is delightful, with a loud whistle, a great headlight and ample track. It was a terrific hit at a reasonable price.

Got for my 5 yr old grandson this Christmas. He of course thought it was cool "but" we were very disappointed! Not worth the money! Took screw off to put batteries in and the screw wouldn't go back in. On/off switch on train doesn't work. Very cheaply made!! Also cars wouldn't stay on track. Embarrassed to say I spent $165 for this. DO NOT BUY. !!!!!

if you are looking for a year round train you might want to spend a little more and get a better trainbut if your looking for something for around the treethis is a great deal it is a bit noisy but you get used to it or shut it offwe found that the front wheels derailed alot so we just unscrewed them and it runs fineour 2 year old loves it
