They can become the engineers of their own imaginations with so much to do. Starting at the Easy-Rail Station, the special track area makes it so easy for them to get their RC train lined up on the tracks. Board the engineer figure into the front of the classic steam engine or on the back of the red caboose. Little boys can control the train two ways - push it along or control the action from afar with an easy-to-use RC controller. The controller features forward and reverse controls and train sound effects. Drive the train around the curve, up the hill and to the mountain. Pick up logs to keep the "wood-burning" engine going. Use the crane on top of the mountain to load it all up. The train can make its way down the winding hill and back to the Easy-Rail Station to drop off cargo and complete the trip. Set up the 15 pieces of durable, Snap-Lock track in so many ways for new adventures. It's the perfect 1st train set for the 2-year old engineer. And since GeoTrax is a system that all works together - add onto this set for even more fun. | | | |

 Our Whole Family Plays With It Oct 28, 2009
By Christine M. Slavin
DURABLE FUN! If I had to describe this item in two words, it would be those. We have 4 children, but our two youngest are 2 and 3. I think, finally, someone has thought up of something that doesn't have "hundreds" of little pieces, small children of all ages can play with it and actually love it. I am a busy mom of 4 who stays home now to care for my mom full time as well. This toy is so quick to put together, I take it apart at night and put it back together in the morning and it takes maybe 5 mins. out of my busy day. My 3 yr. makes different track designs thoughout the days and my 2 yr. feels like he's actually the one making the train go on, so he feels rewarded. You can see his little gears working when he watches how it's put together. With that alone, it's educational
I don't understand some people giving this item a "poor design" or "not durable" ratings. Our train set has been sat on, stepped on (remember I have 4 kids), pushed over. This track stays together well an does not fall apart easily. You actually have to "unsnap" the pieces.
I give this item a perfect 10! It's the only reason I've gotten other GeoTrax stuff... so I can add to it.
Awesome guys! Bravo!!

 Great toy!!! Oct 26, 2009
By K. Twig
This is a great toy. My two year old loves it. He is able to work the remote, and likes to pull the train around the track. It isn't cheap, but considering its durability, its fairly priced.
Pros: extremely durable. exapandable/compatible with other geotrax, configurable, the hill and tunnel are cool. Simple enough for a two year old.
Cons: the track pieces are too hard for a two year old to snap together, its a little loud (with no volume). If it came with a couple other figures that would be cool considering there is a "station". Two more figures and a $50 price tag and this would be a five star review.
Battery-life is good but not great.
We have no problem with derailing. It will only derail if the hill is immediately followed by a curve (simple physics, it get going pretty fast down the hill), just put a straightaway first after the hill and it will never derail.
All in all: do not hesitate to buy, it really is a pretty cool toy, though it isn't perfect.

 Good Idea but poor design Jun 25, 2009
By Carrie
My 4 year old does like this train with the cool smokestack but the train design is poor. The smoke goes up and down as it moves which is neat. The train that is controlled by the remote is permanently attached to the first car of the train. The first car of the train does not lead the rest of the cars. Because of this, the first train often derails going down hills and gets my son frustrated. It's made just like the "Hauler and Big Rob," Team which we didn't keep because it derails. Not sure why they make the trains this way, it just frustrates my son. Expensive too.

 Outstanding train for those little train lovers Jan 29, 2010
By reg
My 2 1/2 year old grandson LOVES trains, so I purchased this for him for Christmas. He has played for hours with this set. First thing every morning it's, "Let's play Steamer," and you will hear that repeated several times a day. If he isn't playing with it, he is watching the DVD that came with it. The DVD is 4 different stories showing the different trains that are part of the GeoTrax team. This DVD has given "Steamer" a personality to my grandson. He re-enacts scenes when he is playing with the set. He gasps every time the "ghost train" shows up and is worried when the trains get stuck in the mud.
My grandson also enjoys his push Thomas trains. This set does have push trains available. It will meet the needs of younger children with the push trains, but at 2 1/2, he has had no trouble getting it back on track (or should I say, Trax!). Another grandparent gave him a Lionel train for children 2 1/2 and up. He enjoys and plays with the Timbertown Railway more. I don't know if it is the DVD that made the difference there, or if it is easier for him to operate. I am looking forward to expanding his set, although my daughter may object!
ETA: The train and remote quit working, Battery changes in both did nothing. My grandson used it as a push train and eventually went back to just playing with Thomas. My daughter bought the airport for him for his 3rd birthday. The day they set it up, he dropped the remote and it quit working. She then saw in the instructions that it said DO NOT DROP. Children in this age range (2-7) are going to drop things. Adults drop things. This is way too fragile for a young child and was a big disappointment.

Fun toy but why just for boys? Jul 25, 2011
By Alex M. Howard
My 3 yr old daughter loves trains so we go this for her for her birthday. So far the whole family is having fun with it and we can't wait to get more sets and trains. She also loved the DVD that came with it. But watching I noticed that every train "team" is made up of a train and the conductor, all male. I then looked up all the additional train sets, and all the conductors are men. It's very disappointing that this day in age a company like Fisher-Price would have better marketing vision. I hesitate to support such an outlook, but my daughter loves the train. Maybe we'll find some female figures from other toys and make them honorary train conductors!
