I spent months trying to decide on which Lionel train set I wanted to buy, for our Christmas tree. I couldn’t decide between the Polar Express train and the Harry Potter one. I ultimately chose the Hogwarts Express. When it arrived I was more excited than my kids. The train is quite large and plastic, which I wanted. It is still a good weight for being plastic. The plastic is very durable and I would highly recommend the plastic trains if you have kids that like to throw toys. The tracks are easy to put together. I did purchased extra tracks just so we could have more track options. I would most definitely buy a Lionel train set again! My husband wants to get the higher end trains from Lionel too. It’s worth noting that these trains can definitely take a beating. My 2 year old is by no means “gentle”. This poor train has been dropped and kicked a number of times. And it has held up great against our kids!

Pros: detail is better than most, looks great baby loves it going round, wheels move etc. Cons: as others said it’s bigger than you expect, and you need a lot of space round a tree to make it go round the bottom of a Christmas tree but that dims are available. Also would be nice if have a volume control, or way for it to move without train audio, it’s a sensory event for sure. Despite cons we love it and would recommend.

Muy buen producto, llegó bien protegido y en un plazo bastante razonable teniendo en cuenta que pasa por aduanas. Tuve un pequeño problema y el vendedor me lo resolvió rápidamente, muy recomendado.

I love this train. The movie commentary, the solid build and the easy to put together track are great for the price. Can't wait to see it under the tree at Christmas time this year. The incredibly quick shipping to Australia in just over a week was also a great surprise I thought it would take weeks.

Can’t speak to the longevity yet, or battery life. But if I can get a season out of the 6 “C” sized batteries that the train takes, I’ll be happy. I run N scale trains, so this is a big boy for me, ha! It seems pretty robust; my 3yo son already carried it around by the handrails applied to the boiler with no damage. (Probably got lucky, though) My lab knocked it off the tracks as well; just rerail and keep moving! Downside is that it’s not really a cherry red, like in the movie, more of a maroon color. Seems a silly detail to not get right, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Sound is fine to me. My expectations are low; it’s…soundly…in the “toy” category. Heyoo! Anyway, buy the thing. You’re not going to find an O-scale-adjacent train for cheaper, and Lionel is Lionel. They’ve been around forever for a reason.
