Somos fans de esta marca desde hace muchos años, incluso hasta cuando los niños han dejado de jugar con trenes, aún los tenemos y no queremos desprendernos de ellos. Son de madera, por lo que no se rompen. Los trenes aguantan con las pilas mucho tiempo y te permite mil combinaciones distintas.

Christmas gift for my nieces, who quickly started misusing it in every way possible (dragging it, dropping it, fighting over it, tearing the front hatch off, etc.) and it held up to the abuse like a champ. Very much a quality build, and the nieces loved it.

My little loves this! He can turn it on by himself ( just 2). It turns itself off after a few minutes so it doesn’t eat the batteries.

My Grandson and I build with train tracks every week. This is his first battery operated train that I purchased for his birthday. We have so much fun with the train tracks and this little Brio Train made it even more fun. Brio has really nice train products that I will be purchasing in the future.

The Brio Travel Train is one of our grandson’s favorite accessories on his train table. Most of the pieces he has are wooden and manual, so just having something battery operated gives him great delight. A conductor thrown in makes one happy boy.This set measures about 8” long—each train car is about 4” long. It runs smoothly on our tracks, and the little man fits nicely into all three compartments. The only difficulty we have is sometimes stopping it. The train runs in both directions and requires a push down on one directional arrow or the other. Stopping it is the opposite--making sure neither arrow is depressed, and that’s not so easy for a three year old. We solved the problem by showing him that all he needs to do is put two fingers over each directional arrow at the same time. That action ensures neither arrow depresses. It requires picking up the trains, but that is part of three year old fun, and he doesn’t mind at all. He enjoys playing with this train on tracks and everywhere else in the house

... because both me and my 5 yr old LOVE this. We play with it so much that I have to switch the battery out after a few days. Sometimes, though, my son forgets to switch the toy off, but he's learning that he doesn't get to play with things without proper care and use. We would be remiss if we didn't point out that it would be so much more fun if it went a teensy bit faster. But, considering how small the train is, that's not a deal breaker.

This Brio train set is a nicely detailed and sturdy toy that keeps my toddler engaged for long durations. There are a few things that I would like to call out:1. This train is compatible with Thomas, Imaginarium and other standard wooden railroad tracks. However, there is a slight curvature on the sides of the cars, about half an inch above the wheels. This increases the width of the train set a bit - so not all bridges with side rails may allow the cars to pass through freely. Ours needed a light nudge at the leading end of the bridge to continue its journey. We tucked in a small piece of paper on either side of the bridge where the side rails meet the wooden track, so that the plastic side rails stay wider and do not bend inward at all. Problem solved!2. As some others have noted, there is noticeable power difference between the forward and reverse directions of the engine car. Our train is able to easily pull (forward drive) up to two additional wooden cars. But when in reverse drive, the train is generally slower with just the two cars, there is an increased propensity for the cars to go off-track at curves or interchanges and climbing bridges is painstakingly slow. I would imagine that one would be happy with the bi-directional feature if used on level tracks only.3. The On/Off switch (that also doubles as the forward/ reverse toggle) seems to require a good amount of force to operate. I believe that the sensitivity of the switch has gotten worse with time, and my 3 year old is now unable to switch it off or change direction. I also find it difficult to operate the switch. Interestingly enough, I always end up switching it from forward to reverse before being able to 'stop' the switch in the 'Off' position.4. Contrary to some other reviews, I like that the flip-up parts of the train are removable. They do not come loose when the train is operated, or let's say, if the train falls off a bridge on the set. But at the same time, if you step on the train or if the toy is thrown, these parts are separated, thereby preventing breakage. They fit right back without any hassle.Overall, this is a nice passenger train with great looks and reasonably good battery life

My son love this train. He has it pull many other trains along the track with this one pulling it. It has a reverse and is a hit at our house. It is sturdy and goes at a good speed with easy to push buttons .
