Review: Best Christmas present for my son! - My son(6) absolutely LOVES his gift from Santa! He LOVES trains and wrote a letter to Santa he wanted a train set. I got the blue tooth train which took a bit to connect but got it working just fine. I have a samsung galaxy. Probably going to order the remote so I can have my phone back lol. The voice command does work (I see some people couldn't get it to work) just click it and say "All aboard" and the train starts moving. You can tell it to stop, reverse, increase speed. Train stays on the track just fine so far. He's been playing with it for hours. I ordered extra tracks and a few Y tracks and they just came today so super excited to make a very large track! I wish I could turn down the volume on the train tho, as much as he's been playing with it, the noise is a bit annoying after a while lol. Quality is great. I had one very similar when I was his age and still have it and it still works, we usually use it under the Christmas tree. Anyway, the steam is a little meh but my son still loves it. Just a few drops of water and it makes a tiny vapor cloud. It's cute. I read the vapor is created by the vibration of the train so if you put the water in and it doesn't vapor, run the train a bit and it will eventually. Great buy! He's happy so I'm happy. I got the protection plan just incase.
Review: Great train - Bought for a 4 yr old. After an easy set up, he has spent hours playing with it. No problems.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great train
*by R***E on April 23, 2026*

Bought for a 4 yr old. After an easy set up, he has spent hours playing with it. No problems.

### ⭐ A good train until it died
*by S***T on December 10, 2025*

The train was fun for our 4yr old but now three Christmas seasons later the engine is dead. It will make two laps around and then won't move any longer and the light flicker out. New batteries didn't solve it and neither did calling Lionel's customer service. They said they are sold out of that engine and the motor can't be replaced in it. We bought a Lionel being name brand and thought we would get years of use out of it. We would only use it every few days for play and it never was continually running. We would only have it out for about three weeks each season so it wasn't being overused or abused in anyway. Pretty big bummer for our son around the holidays.
