New York MTA New York City 3 Pc. Battery Operated Train Set with Track ,39" X 25",Silver

The media could not be loaded. It’s a cheap little plastic train, but as long as the track is put together properly and laid flat, it runs pretty smoothly. The front car lights up and makes train noises. The doors don’t open; the side details are actually stickers. We bought two sets to get a longer train and additional track, and it does slow the train down quite a bit. Please don’t expect anything extravagant; it’s a $30 plastic train. We are happy enough for what we bought it for, and it was worth the little bit we spent on it.

Good product. Be aware that batteries don't come with the product. Anyway, was happy with the purchase. Was a good gift from New York.

Best gift I bought for a friend this year. They love the style and how much it reminds them of NY. Great for all ages and durable. It did take forever to receive, and that was the only drawback. Three weeks waiting for it was ridiculous in my opinion.

The tracks are very thin and sensitive and poor quality, they don't cling on together and the poor train derails all the time.

My kid brother loved this for Christmas

When I applied the batteries, the train didn't even start. Not even the lights shone. The train has an uneven weight from start to finish. The engine is 5 times heavier that the cars. The cars are also prone to derail too, even if you're pulling it with your hands.

Obviously a $35 train set isn't going to be all that amazing, but for that kind of price it's hard to complain.This set is basically all plastic including the rails themselves. I'd say the biggest downside to this set is that there's no way to run the train without the loud sound effects. All or nothing!Even if the sound effects were off, I think this train would still be relatively loud compared to higher quality sets because of crude, high friction operation. It's so crude that the drive wheels don't turn along with the curves of the track. That low-cost setup just happens to be good enough to function.It derails more easily than a normal train set as well, probably because of those static drive wheels.I wouldn't really recommend this as a train for a child to play with, especially since there's no way to control the speed and actually have some real solid play with it. I would think most kids would break this set pretty quickly as well. I think the plastic snaps that keep the tracks together have a defined and limited lifespan (i.e., be as careful as you want disassembling but those plastic clips seem like they will wear out no matter what).I wanted a tree under my Christmas tree that was public transit/subway car themed, and this fits the bill and looks good enough from a distance.

I love the sound that it makes.
