Customer Reviews

Magical at Christmas!!!!
Santa brought this for my oldest son 5 1/2 yrs old and he just loves it. The G scale train came with a remote control fair amount of track and the engine, tender and 2 passenger cars. My son loves this toy train so much that while visiting family in town for Christmas was begging to go home and play with his Polar Express.

Won't run
Santa got this for my boys for Christmas (ages 5 & 7). Packaged well, durable. The track goes together easy and is sturdy. Comes with batteries which is a big plus; however, after getting everything together and pushing the button, it will only move a couple inches and then stops. How disappointing is that to two little boys who want to play with it on Christmas. So now I have to get 6 more C batteries and hope that that will fix it.

DO NOT BUY FOR CHILDREN UNDER 6
I purchased POLAR EXPRESS G-GUAGE train for my youngest boy. It was relatively easy to assemble and is very nice looking - but for the money you get short-changed on the amount of track with it. Important note is that it only runs on batteries.

However, my son continues to want to lay or sit next to it and with the slightest touch it CONSTANTLY FALLS OFF THE TRACK!!!!! Also if you accidently touch the track it unsnaps. I have put this entire thing back together so many times I have lost count.

I will keep it because he loves it anyway but I would not recommend buying this for any children under 6 - this item only designed to look at only.
