Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Though Hot Wheels have dominated the miniature die cast toy car market almost since their beginnings in 1968, they've been less successful with (or at least a lot less interested in) other kinds of vehicles, especially trains, the occasional train-like car and the long gone motorized Hotline Trains being the only exceptions. Nothing like the various brands of connectable and collectible wooden trains or the Learning Curve die cast Take-n-Play Thomas & Friends trains was ever attempted,...
until now. In 2011 Hot wheels introduced the Rapid Transit Series: die cast railroad engines and rail cars, plus the occasional articulated bus, that snap together with rotating C-shaped plastic claw couplers placed fore and aft on every car and engine. So far they only come two to a blister pack: one locomotive and one matching passenger or freight car. One of the selling points, proudly displayed on the packaging, is that coupled consists can successfully navigate loops on regular Hot Wheels track, which turns out to be absolutely true, though an 8-car-consist was the upper limit we could ever get to go through a loop successfully, and some of the engines with projecting noses go through a loop better backwards.
The V0139 Hot Wheels Rail Rocket, engine # 8, coach # 8, appears to be a futuristic jet turbine powered engine pulling a matching passenger coach.
