Product ReviewsLionel Disney 100 Battery Operated Train Set 712093 Years Of Wonder 29pcs

Cute train for anyone who loves Disney

This is a very fun train set from Lionel, especially for anyone who loves Disney. The locomotive and cars are colorful and cute, and with two AA batteries it runs well and plays pleasant engine sounds that sound like a real steam locomotive. The locomotive can be run with or without the engine sounds. Lionel has currently produced about three different types of this class of sets, including a Penn RR Christmas and a version of the Polar Express train. For all of them, they are the size of S scale, or 1/64 trains yet they run on classic O scale track. For anyone unfamiliar with this type of toy train talk, it means that the locomotive and train cars are the same size as Hot Wheels or Matchbox type cars, so they will go well with those types of playsets. Since the included track is classic O scale, other battery operated trains of this scale can run on it and even some antique Marx and Lionel trains such as the classic wind-up tinplate cars can run on it as well. This is a huge benefit! The only reason my rating is 4 and not 5 is because it would have been nice for Lionel to have locomotive action with the wheels or maybe include a reverse as well. Also, the trains seem kind of delicate and may not stand up to rough play. But overall, it's a good train set and a good series of trains from Lionel.
