On this new train, however, you can't push it along by itself - it will always start running, which limits his play options. (It also requires quite a shove which will also sometimes move and therefore break apart the train tracks it is resting on). Also, weirdly, it doesn't auto-power down when left idle - it just sits there, not moving, but draining its battery unless an adult thinks to turn it over and notice the blue light. Maybe it powers off eventually, but it hadn't after a few hours of not being used. The bluetooth app is not an essential part of the toy, but is poorly designed for very young children since only a small part of the phone interface is given to the train control, so the distance to move from full speed forward to full speed reverse is tiny (and on a modern iPhone is also near the edge of the screen and thus triggers other parts of the OS interface). Overall I find it hard to believe this has had much testing at the lower end of its target age range, since it's natural for little kids to want to push along their trains themselves sometimes.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2018-12-30</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2018-12-30" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="1054586105"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">DebFRN</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Steam Train for grandson</span> <span itemprop="description">Ok, so we were trying to come up with something for Christmas for our 3 1/2 year old grandson. I saw this in some ad, and logged in to check it out. Decided it was way cute...shared with husband who agreed. Bought this set plus extra tracks. It was a hit! He loves trains...I have the Christmas train and he loved that. So when he got his own train, he was pleased. It is far cooler than we ever imagined. Mom and Dad were also thrilled. All in all, a hit! Quick and easy to set up. It is easy for him to handle on his own.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2018-12-27</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2018-12-27" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="1054586114"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Popsicle</span></span> from <span itemprop="name"></span> <span itemprop="description">this is great fun for little kids and very easy to using</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2018-12-17</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2018-12-17" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="1054586110"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">walterf22</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Great first train</span> <span itemprop="description">Got this for my 4 year old girls.

In particular the app that allows to control the train is a lot of unexpected fun. It controls the train movement, honks, reacts to action bricks - it offers minigames that feature other parts of the set. It would be nice if the manual about the electric train was more detailed - it seems to have features. Such as one axle is motorized and the other has a motion sensor. So making the train run, it is actually easier to slightly lift the back wheels and push rather than just push. It was a little tricky to properly insert the batteries but they seem to last quite a bit. The train seems to have quite a bit of power and can pull several pieces. It would be good to have two green action bricks - then the tracks could be linear rather than a loop.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2018-12-05</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2018-12-05" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="1054586112"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">2</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Tiny</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Great track, poor quality train</span> <span itemprop="description">Purchased in June for my son, we enjoyed playing with the set and he loved playing with it adding to the original set, only problem is that the train stopped working, fault on the on button, really disappointed as my son loves it.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2018-11-25</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2018-11-25" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="1054586111"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">1</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Fatherof2</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Frustrating locomotive and incompatible tracks</span> <span itemprop="description">The electric locomotive does not move easily without the batteries. This product is labelled as for 2-5 year age category. Although our 2-year old loves pushing trains along tracks, he doesn&rsquo;t yet understand the electronics. It is not a nice experience for him without batteries and with them he gets frustrated at the (in his perception) random start /stop behaviour of the train. As a parent, it is also very frustrating that the train tracks (in particular the bridge in a separate set) are not compatible with &lsquo;my first number train&rsquo; or some other trains and vehicles currently available. In my opinion it was a mistake to phase out the locomotive without electronics.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2018-11-25</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2018-11-25" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="1054586103"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">2</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Tulip</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Dissappointed</span> <span itemprop="description">Pros: -beautiful figurines, - love the idea of action bricks, Cons: - the app &quot;connected train&quot; does not work, we've tried 3 devices, including a Huawei P8 lite that's the on verified and compatibile list of devices, - the train motor is too loud.

I'm looking forward to using this as part of an upcoming LEGO library Display &amp; Play Event. The modest price makes it a great way to get started with Duplo trains, or even use it as an expansion pack with other train sets. My only reservation is the design of the battery compartment. It took several tries to get the batteries all seated properly and the lid closed without one of the batteries popping loose again. Once everything was in place, though, I had *no* problem with the amount of power available in the engine, and it is a pleasure to operate!</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2018-09-22</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2018-09-22" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="1054586107"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">3</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">mikevince</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Not Strong Enough Motor</span> <span itemprop="description">I bought this together with the Train Bridge and Tracks (10872) and the engine with an empty car can't make it to the top of the bridge 30%-40% of the time. When using the app, the motor is noticeably weaker and stops 90% of the time before reaching the bridges's top. The tracks+bridge were setup on a flat, solid surface. Fresh AAA Energizer batteries were used. This is just nitpicking on an otherwise amazing set.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2018-09-03</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2018-09-03" /> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> if (document.getElementById('bvseo-reviewsSection')) { document.getElementById('bvseo-reviewsSection').style.display = 'none'; } </script> <!--end-reviews--> <ul id="BVSEO_meta" style="display:none!important"> <li data-bvseo="bvDateModified">y_2025, m_6, d_25, h_8</li> <li data-bvseo="ps">bvseo_bulk, prod_bvrr, vn_bulk_3.0.42</li> <li data-bvseo="cp">cp_3, bvpage2n</li> <li data-bvseo="co">co_hasreviews, tv_18, tr_49</li> <li data-bvseo="cf">loc_en_CA, sid_75BC266A, prod, sort_[SortEntry(order=SUBMISSION_TIME, direction=DESCENDING)]</li> <li data-bvseo="diagnostics">clientName_toysrus-ca</li> </ul> <!--end-bvseo-reviews--> <ul id="BVSEOSDK_meta" style="display: none !important;"> <li data-bvseo="sdk">bvseo_sdk, dw_cartridge, 18.2.0, p_sdk_3.2.0</li> <li data-bvseo="sp_mt">CLOUD, getReviews, 9ms</li> <li data-bvseo="ct_st">reviews, product</li> </ul>
