Product Description

Editorial Review

Finally there is a HO scale electric train set for the ignorant among us. This set of 4 cars and 12 curved pieces snaps together to create an electric track. It requires a little patience creating a layout and connecting the track pieces, but not a degree in electrical engineering. The pre-wired track hooks up to a special power pack transformer to control the speed of the pre-assembled cars (diagrams included for repairs). Afterwards, it becomes a long-lasting, truly plug-and-play toy. Additional track and cars are available from the manufacturer or popular hobby shops. As with any product that involves electrical wiring, adult supervision is required. --S.J. Kurtz

My 9 year old son loves the train set. He paid with his own money and has already bought more track and switches. The EasyTrack has a draw back, it is more expensive that regular track, but does look more like a real teack bed.
He loves the train, plays with it for hours and has plans to fill the whole house with trains and track.

I scouted and looked around with every train making company before choosing Bachman. I thought Bachman offered the higher quality toy so I was willing to pay a little more for the name. Bachman does offer a limited lifetime manufacturers warranty on the package.
This train set is a christmas gift for my handicapped autistic brother who is obsessed with trains and things that go-around. I was suprised when the train fell apart, wheels fell off, etc. The engine is the only part that actually is usable, the cabose and box cars all fell to pieces. The little plastic wheels would not stay on! I have searched high and low for a durable train set! I wished I could find one maybe made of die cast material or something. Good Craftmanship is worth the extra money!
My recommendation is not to buy this particular set because the only part that is worth anything is the train engine itself!
