Customers are mixed about the speed of the toy vehicle. Some mention it's fast and accurate, while others say it'd be better off returning it. The engine runs slow but steady, and it has one basic speed whether traveling up or down. It moves and moves slowly so that your son could chase after it and pick it up.

feels like it will last a long time
4 Stars
feels like it will last a long time
Would have given 5 stars if it didn't derail so much. Other than that, construction is solid, feels like it will last a long time. Only had it for a few days but it has already taking a beating without breaking a sweat. I run it on IKEA tracks combined with the Wooden Train Track 52 Piece Pack

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2015
Powerful and cute. I tried it with my son and was able to pull about 14 extra little trains. Goes up and down pretty much anything. Don't put it in the sand or water! Lol! My son did it and stopped working right away. We had to open the whole train and fix it. We had the IKEA train tracks and did work, only that something was getting stock in the connection parts and didn't go under the bridge or tunnel (Thomas is a bit bigger than the other trains).
