Review: Great little train. - My son loves it! Still works perfectly 2 and a half years in and still regularly played with.
Review: Has the toddler stamp of approval - Well, this gained me kudos from my 3-year-old nephew so it gets 5 stars. Secretly I did like playing with this as well, so I also give it five stars. It's amazing how much time you can waste, and yet strangely enjoy, watching a toy train go round and round a track. These Trackmaster trains are very pricey for what they are, but given that my nephew went around for a week afterwards telling everyone that his favourite birthday present was his Trackmaster James, it's worth its weight in gold. Suck that other aunties ;-)

## Questions & Answers

A: Its just a motorised trackmaster  train with James body bolted on top they can be interchanged with other characters from Thomas and friends ie body shell removable and swapped with other character body shells

**Q: Can you use this without the track on laminate floor?**
A: Hi, Thank you for your question. Yes, this will work on a hard floor! Many thanks - Team Ciao Bella

**Q: Is this compatible with the wooden brio type tracks? I'm looking for a battery operated thomas and friends train for the wooden sets. thanks!**
A: No. The tyres are not able to grip wood.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A stury and robust train. Good value.
*by M***N on 7 January 2016*

A solid and well built product, easily able to withstand the 'crashes' and man handling of children, without being too complex so that children (age 4+) are able place the train onto the track without adult assistance. Takes two AA size batteries and one set of batteries lasted at least a full day with the train going constantly. Granddaughter delighted and Granddad exhausted!
