One thing to note: I purchased this on a 40% off sale. (about $25). For that price, this is worth it. At 35-40, I think this is over priced. $30 seems like a fair price, but $25 really is more appropriate in my opinion.The toy itself is great. My child loves it. It makes a starting and stopping noise when turned on/off. It then makes moderately realistic “chugging” sounds for about 30 seconds. Then those sounds stop, but the engine keeps going for another 4-5 minutes. It will run for about 4-5 minutes or so then turns off, so it doesn’t just run until the battery dies. The remote is an Infrared remote, it has to point at the engine to work. Though he doesn’t use it, I will sit across the room (about 10-12 feet/ 3-4 meters) and start it up sometimes.We are using it with wooden tracks from Ikea, and it works great. It is about twice as large as the Ikea cars, but the magnetic connections work fine. It is too tall to go under the bridge that comes with the Ikea set, it’s about a centimeter too tall to fit cleanly.My child is too young to use the remote, he just isn’t interested in it right now. (He was 1 1/2 when I bought it). Eventually it will interest him, so I figured I would get the remote version. The three yellow buttons on top work perfectly for his needs. (forward, stop, and back)You’reThough it fits on the Ikea tracks, he normally ends up running it on the floor. On tile, wood, and short pile rugs it works perfectly. A thicker, or loose carpet would bog it down. It’s fairly strong, on a tile floor it can easily pull more than a dozen and half of the Ikea cars, assuming the batteries are not too worn out. I’ve found that rechargables, like the Eneloops, work better, they have better energy densities and provide more power. But, standard AAs work fine also. The battery door is held on with a screw, so children can’t open it and get to the batteries. The batteries lasted longer than I thought they would, probably giving 10-12 hours of run time before they became too weak to work well. The rechargables were longer.It’s well built, and has suffered many drops onto hard tile without any damage.

Fantastic train car for a 2.5 year and older child (my child got this for 3rd birthday). My child LOVES being able to control it both on the train and from a distance using the controller. Having the ability to make choices at this age is so important and this r/c train really helps with this. We found that each time we start playing with it we first need to hit the center button on the train to “wake it up” and allow it to connect with the remote control. We have been using it for hours a day over this past week and the batteries have lasted well and we have not had to change them yet.Two cons, which could be big ones for your child:1) this train does not always handle gaps in tracks or hills very well. I believe this is because the back tires are not as well-threaded or thickly-lined with rubber as other battery-powered trains we own so it gets stuck when going up hills and in spots on tracks with gaps. Be sure to purchase some sure track connectors to hold pieces together however won’t help if you have a gap in viaduct or bridge pieces;2) falls off track when going over short curve pieces – can be frustrating but that’s what the “train’s engineer” is there for.These cons, however, don’t make me deduct a star because my child still gets that much enjoyment from it.As a new mom to this world of trains and after reading countless reviews and blogs of tracks and engines and having some great and not so great purchases, here are my recommendations.- I don’t recommend the Brio RC Train Engine be the first train a child gets when they get into trains on wooden tracks – this r/c train is like the 3rd step or phase after the child “masters” or gets bored with their wooden tracks. I’ve had great luck with my kiddo and maintaining his interest by adding pieces in phases when his interest starts dwindling. “Phase 1” simple track layout and train cars my child pushes (this let my child experiment without too many choices and learn at own pace).“Phase 2” adding a battery-powered engine that only goes back and forth by clicking button on train (no remote control, some of these battery-powered trains have a “free play” option to also make them like a train your child has to push) and adding more curves and switches as options to the wooden tracks.“Phase 3” this r/c train and elevations in your wooden tracks.Please let me know if this was helpful. Thank you!

Like all things Brio, this is overpriced for what it is, but that aside it works ok.At first we thought the remote didn’t work – there is no LED or other indication that the remote is transmitting and the whole thing feels kind of fragile. Eventually we figured out it seems to takes a couple of minutes to link up when switching channels and it works best when standing up above the track – it doesn’t work well sitting on the ground or for long distances (maybe 10 feet max?)Once we got the remote thing figured out it does ok – It will pull three or four cars on flat track, and one or two if there are hills, and it does have controls directly on the train unit for when the remote is not working.Overall our four year old was excited about it, and it gave new life to the train set he already had.Minus one star for the fussy and possibly fragile remote, especially given the cost of Brio stuff.

I purchased this train to go with other brio products, it seemed like a great idea to have a train that could be remotely controlled, but to be honest I have found the remote to be a little tricky to use, and that it loses the connection pretty easily, otherwise the setting via the buttons to go backwards and forwards works ok,It does seem a little under powered for some of the bridges that Brio have when using with carriages.

Our 3 yr. old grandson loves trains and was apprehensive when trying to operate our large LGB size train set. But this one is perfect for his little Brio sets. Loves that he can by himself make it go around his tracks. Nice addition to any Brio train set.
