Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We bought the CSX version of the Iron Horse at a local hobby shop and my 8 year old train-on-the-brain son loves it (we've had it for 2 day). At full-speed it stays on the track nicely, the engine is a very solid metal-plastic combination with metal wheels and a light in the cab. The hand rails around the engine are frail but designed to pop right back onto the engine (instead of breaking off) if slightly mishandled. Perfect size for a 6 foot Christmas tree display (a larger tree will warrant the purchase of a track expansion set). A far cry from my 1st HO set back in the 70's with all the little metal tabs that got lost and bent (yeah for E-Z track). You still have to be careful when connecting the track but it's a lot easier and sturdier that the old-version HO track. The box says 14 years and up, but my 8 year old has played with his grandfather's HO set and he's fine if an adult helps with the track construction and is around in case of electrical problem when he's playing with it. Controller has an internal breaker that will shut it down if there's a problem (red overload light signals breaker went off on the controller). Unplug and wait 15 minutes and the breaker resets.
