Lionel The Polar Express Electric O Gauge Bluetooth 5.0 Model Train Set with Remote

Great Job Lionel on a Wonderful O Gauge Polar Express Train. I cannot think how you all could have made it better at the price you sell it at. Sounds like a real Train (Choo Choo sound), the bell, the whistle, the movie sounds, the smoke, the headlight, the cars that light up, etc., are all Terrific. For those who are wondering if the O scale is worth the extra money, YES! Our sons have the plastic (larger scale) which is perfect for them as they have small children that love to attack it. But the O Gauge is mostly metal like the other Lionel Trains and the Engine is heavy. And thank you Amazon for making the price a little more affordable. It's Perfect and we cannot be happier! Thank you!

UPS dropped the ball on getting this train set here on time. I'm not going to penalize the rating due to this, even though I wanted to. The train set is well built, except for th plastic "railing" on the observation cart (last cart). The little plastic pegs that fit into the end of the cart almost broke off. Very flimsy! I recommend using small amount of crazy glue to secure it. I ordered an extra set of fastrack to make a bigger oval. Also included in the video is the holiday peppermint tank and the HOBO cart. The engine is pretty powerful. It is currently pulling 6 carts right now and still runs pretty fast. I tested the engine at full speed and it is FAST. I wouldn't recommend running it that fast because it might risk derailing. I did not use the included remote. Apple app has more function. I tested the smoke maker and worked just fine. You can control the smoke from the app as well. A train expert I know said make sure to turn off the function from the back of the engine when you're done using it or else it might ruin the smoke maker. This set was bought for my 11 year old son. I don't allow my younger son who is 7 to play with it. I don't recommend anyone younger than 11 to play with this set. Lionel recommends 14 years of age, which is too much in my opinion. I will definitely add more accessories like bridges and manual track switches in the future. Overall, I like this set and how well it is built. You can definitely add to it and will hopefully last for years if it is maintained and taken care of.

Very cool set based on the movie the Polar Express. Tom Hanks' announcements, train whistle and smoke generator work very well. Don't plan on using the app though and connecting via bluetooth. Seems the app has not been updated in a very long time, so long that it does not work with Android 14. The set comes with a very capable remote control though. Overall, a very nostalgic toy to help decorate the house for the holidays.

Returned first set because of one (1) faulty track section. New set perfect! I'm 80 years old and enjoying my second childhood.

I have a special place in my heart for The Polar Express and have been watching the movie every Christmas since it the movie came out. I have been wanting a train set for as long as I can remember but I knew if I was going to get one it HAD to be the Polar Express.. It was pretty easy to put together and once you turn it on oh my it’s Amazing and I could watch it for hours. Looks spot on!! Now for the cons.. This set is extremely tempremental and slips off its track very easily. I think I had to fix it daily because of one thing or another that caused it to slip. It is also difficult to pinpoint exactly where it comes off track and you have to really look at it. So if you have animals, toddlers, or pets that may bump it this may not be the set for you. I love this set so much but I feel a lot of work goes into it…

The engine seems fairly robust but the cars are light and appear very fragile. The connection between the engine and tender was tricky to seat properly and the couplers between cars are thin, cheap, and finicky. It looked good and sounded good, but it only ran 4 or 5 times and then the transformer died. This set is far from the quality you would get from the more mainstream Lionel offerings, and definitely not worth the price.

Alles war io Artikel entspricht meiner Vorstellung

Excelente producto, se siente la calidad desde el inicio, mi hijo está maravillado

All well

Un tren idéntico al de la película, los sonidos y construcción son únicos, mas cuando lo emparejas a la aplicación móvil, le sacas jugo al tren de pista, los materiales de construcción son excelentes

I’m not a hobby train expert but this train set is impressive. Seems to be a quality product. Very fast Amazon delivery. I purchased mainly for around the Christmas tree. However it’s so nice it would be a shame to only use it for that purpose. Glad I bought this more expensive electric set as opposed to the Lionel battery set. (Although I’m guessing the battery set would be more appropriate and practical for a very small child.) I intend to buy extra track pieces for this electric O-gauge set so it can live up to its potential. I like that it’s has the famous ‘Lionel’ name. The train engine itself is quite substantial, weighty and seems sturdy. The plastic train cars are more fragile. Realistic sounds. I recently paid $392 Cdn to Amazon.ca but I see they just raised the price to $525 Cdn. If you monitor the fluctuating price points over time, maybe you’ll save a bit? I don’t look at this Lionel set as a short term throwaway toy. It’s designed to be more of a long term product to be enjoyed for a number of years. It is indeed fun to own and I recommend it even if you’re a newbie like me. The online ratings generally seem very good. In summary, IMO, it’s definitely a fun and really nice train set. Good luck!
