Review: Toddler really enjoys it, and well built. - One thing to note: I purchased this on a 40% off sale. (about $25). For that price, this is worth it. At 35-40, I think this is over priced. $30 seems like a fair price, but $25 really is more appropriate in my opinion. The toy itself is great. My child loves it. It makes a starting and stopping noise when turned on/off. It then makes moderately realistic "chugging" sounds for about 30 seconds. Then those sounds stop, but the engine keeps going for another 4-5 minutes. It will run for about 4-5 minutes or so then turns off, so it doesn't just run until the battery dies. The remote is an Infrared remote, it has to point at the engine to work. Though he doesn't use it, I will sit across the room (about 10-12 feet/ 3-4 meters) and start it up sometimes. We are using it with wooden tracks from Ikea, and it works great. It is about twice as large as the Ikea cars, but the magnetic connections work fine. It is too tall to go under the bridge that comes with the Ikea set, it's about a centimeter too tall to fit cleanly. My child is too young to use the remote, he just isn't interested in it right now. (He was 1 1/2 when I bought it). Eventually it will interest him, so I figured I would get the remote version. The three yellow buttons on top work perfectly for his needs. (forward, stop, and back)You're Though it fits on the Ikea tracks, he normally ends up running it on the floor. On tile, wood, and short pile rugs it works perfectly. A thicker, or loose carpet would bog it down. It's fairly strong, on a tile floor it can easily pull more than a dozen and half of the Ikea cars, assuming the batteries are not too worn out. I've found that rechargables, like the Eneloops, work better, they have better energy densities and provide more power. But, standard AAs work fine also. The battery door is held on with a screw, so children can't open it and get to the batteries. The batteries lasted longer than I thought they would, probably giving 10-12 hours of run time before they became too weak to work well. The rechargables were longer. It's well built, and has suffered many drops onto hard tile without any damage.
Review: Fantastic train car for a 2 - Fantastic train car for a 2.5 year and older child (my child got this for 3rd birthday). My child LOVES being able to control it both on the train and from a distance using the controller. Having the ability to make choices at this age is so important and this r/c train really helps with this. We found that each time we start playing with it we first need to hit the center button on the train to “wake it up” and allow it to connect with the remote control. We have been using it for hours a day over this past week and the batteries have lasted well and we have not had to change them yet. Two cons, which could be big ones for your child: 1) this train does not always handle gaps in tracks or hills very well. I believe this is because the back tires are not as well-threaded or thickly-lined with rubber as other battery-powered trains we own so it gets stuck when going up hills and in spots on tracks with gaps. Be sure to purchase some sure track connectors to hold pieces together however won’t help if you have a gap in viaduct or bridge pieces; 2) falls off track when going over short curve pieces - can be frustrating but that’s what the “train’s engineer” is there for. These cons, however, don’t make me deduct a star because my child still gets that much enjoyment from it. As a new mom to this world of trains and after reading countless reviews and blogs of tracks and engines and having some great and not so great purchases, here are my recommendations. - I don’t recommend the Brio RC Train Engine be the first train a child gets when they get into trains on wooden tracks - this r/c train is like the 3rd step or phase after the child “masters” or gets bored with their wooden tracks. I’ve had great luck with my kiddo and maintaining his interest by adding pieces in phases when his interest starts dwindling. “Phase 1” simple track layout and train cars my child pushes (this let my child experiment without too many choices and learn at own pace). “Phase 2” adding a battery-powered engine that only goes back and forth by clicking button on train (no remote control, some of these battery-powered trains have a “free play” option to also make them like a train your child has to push) and adding more curves and switches as options to the wooden tracks. “Phase 3” this r/c train and elevations in your wooden tracks. Please let me know if this was helpful. Thank you!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone tried attaching 2 of these engines together and operating together with 1 remote? Does it make it easier to pull longer trains or faster?**
A: I have not tried putting 2 together.  In regards to the remote, had multiple issues with it.  Broke day one, replaced it...  Broke within a week again.  Sent back.  Quality is lacking with this but haven't found anything strong with a remote.  Lionel makes a great G-Guage for kids.  Little pricey ($120) but quality and strength are second to none.If you want to stick with the wooden track set, the battery powered (push button) Thomas locomotives are the strongest I've found, but always had issues with the button sticking/not working as well.  Remember, you get what you pay for.

**Q: Does anyone know if this train compatible with Thomas or Melissa and Doug track?**
A: Yes it does. We have Thomas and IKEA tracks and it works great on both. It also runs on the floor. It is an amazing train for kids and you don't need to buy new tracks! We haven't even needed to change the batteries yet. I bought it for my 5 year old son and now I 'm going to have to get one for my 2 year old daughter. It has become the most played with toy in my house. I highly recommend it.

**Q: Does the sound come out of the engine or the controller? Or both?**
A: The sound comes from the engine.

**Q: whats the range on the controller? We have a large amount of wooden trains and wondering if this will reach the other end of the table (9'-10')**
A: YES it will. But it uses an infra red signal so there must be an unobstructed "line of sight" from the controller to the locomotive. any obstruction... say a building, mountain, house will block the signal and temporarily lose control. The engine will not stop, for a time until it clears the obstruction. Very satisfactory for me! I cannot understand why Brio has not made other configurations such as old time logging locos etc. Range ( within reason ) is not the critical factor, obstruction is! Try bouncing the signal off a nearby wall or  >> the ceiling! Ask more questions if you need to.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Train for Wooden Range
*by A***R on February 4, 2026*

This train is high quality and runs well with multiple cars in tow. Although, at top speed it is slower than some other brands. IR controller can be slightly aggravating with line of sight at first but you get used to it.
