4.0 out of 5 stars BAD INSTRUCTIONS!, July 1, 2006

I've noticed many people complaining about the batteries for this train, and that the train only works for the first few weeks. Well, we had the EXACT same experience, which was very very frustrating. what the train instructions do NOT tell you is that in addition to the 4 battery cells being on the train, there is also two 1.5 AA batteries (on the front train). This is NOT apparent or intuitive. 3months after buying the train, we finally figured out this additional spot. After many months of frustration, we finally got it to work; my boy is happy now; all is well.

My son enjoyed the train while it worked (for about 5 months) a lot. However, the train suddenly "died" and we have tried to no avail to change the batteries. We purchased batteries a couple of times to make sure that we did not have "bad" batteries. I expected better things from a BRIO train.

1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't last long, December 1, 2005

My kids loved this train but it only worked a few weeks. We've tried new batteries but that hasn't made a difference. It was pretty dissapointing for them when it broke and I hate wasting the money.
