Product Description
-------------------
A train you can ride on? That moves by itself? It's hard to imagine any child not being excited by this prospect. The Santa Fe Train offers an amusement park experience in your own house. Assembly is a snap, literally. The track pieces click together with no problem, and it's so obvious how to assemble the train, you almost don't need the manual. If you feel prepared to take it on, this train set can make for a spectacular birthday or holiday present. In the interests of instant gratification, however, be sure to charge up the battery the night before. Some other considerations for parents: This toy takes up a lot of space: at a bare minimum, 12 square feet. It may have limited replay value, since you can go around and around a track only so many times, even if you are 4 years old. And it requires a bit of maintenance in that you must keep the battery charged up. --David Stoesz

My younger sister had one when she was little and loved it. So this year my daughter got one for christmas. Problem was it would stick or de-rail on the track. She's only 18mo old, and we figured out the problem - Not enough weight. We unscrewed the coal cover, and put 2 plastic bags of sand inside. It did the trick. The same thing worked on the kabose. Now she can ride it all on her own even on the full figure 8 track. ;

I bought the train for my 2 yr old son last christmas and although it looked great set up under the tree it was very disappointing when the train kept derailing and getting stuck. We have it on carpet and although it may work better on hard wood it was alwful on carpet. My son loved it as did my 1 yr old daughter but I kept having to stand by to give a push or put the train back on track. It really looks so much better than it works. But it was worth the expression on my sons face when he first saw it - he loves everything trains!;

I bought this item with great expectations for my 2 yr old grandson's b-day. I was extremely disappointed with the performance of the toy. The train would not stay on the track. After it threw my grandson off of the train for about the 4th time, we tried it outside. He had difficulty steering the train straight and the handlebar housing kept pulling away from the train body. The train startup I thought was very jerky and moved way to fast for the track setup. I returned it to the store last night, of course losing my freight exp. [...];
