Climb aboard this train set pulled by a highly detailed steam locomotive; followed by a Toy Repair Shop Gondola where the elves fix any malfunctioning toys, Hot Cocoa Tank Car where the elves refuel as they work, Toy Shop Tool car that carries all the little hammers and supplies to make the toys, Do Not Open Gondola transporting all the presents, and The Boss Caboose where the big man himself, Santa, rides along making sure everything is ready in time for his departure on Christmas Eve!

Review: Great addition small flaw - Got this to add to our Polar Express x-mas tree train set.... it has LED bulb for the spot light which to me is a Plus...the car itself it mostly plastic....my biggest complain... it’s not too big of a deal BUT I wish the PE on the spot light itself was backwards... So that when your running your train and your spot light on the car hits a wall and or tunnel....the signal shows the correct way... sounds petty I know BUT to me a small detail that should not have happen...
Review: I would advise a friend to buy it - This is a very well constructed train set. It has many features including Bluetooth. We very much enjoyed it. It stayed on the tracks and was fairly easy to set up. I would highly recommend it. The engine feels like it weighs about 5 pounds alone and has no problem pulling three additional cars that we bought

Nice car. Sound is loud and clear. Only thing is sound seems to occur randomly and not as listed in the instructions.
