Review: Pros: detail is better than most, looks great baby loves it going round, wheels move etc. Cons: as others said it’s bigger than you expect, and you need a lot of space round a tree to make it go round the bottom of a Christmas tree but that dims are available. Also would be nice if have a volume control, or way for it to move without train audio, it’s a sensory event for sure. Despite cons we love it and would recommend.
Review: Muy buen producto, llegó bien protegido y en un plazo bastante razonable teniendo en cuenta que pasa por aduanas. Tuve un pequeño problema y el vendedor me lo resolvió rápidamente, muy recomendado.

*by M***P on 11 August 2020*

I love this train. The movie commentary, the solid build and the easy to put together track are great for the price. Can't wait to see it under the tree at Christmas time this year. The incredibly quick shipping to Australia in just over a week was also a great surprise I thought it would take weeks.
