My son got this train from the "Fire Department Santa". He loves having additional trains. We haven't had any problems with the controller like other reviewers, ours had been fine. However, our advice for any parents out there with Geo Trax systems - RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES!!!! My two-year-old LOVES all of these but can wear out the batteries fast. Investment in rechargeables has been well worth it for us. The only negative I've notices with any of these trains is that when you have ramp kits and build inclines, don't make the incline continuous or put a lot of cars on the train. If the train goes slower as the batteries are dying or slows down from the weight of the cars, when it tilts to go up the inclines the cars all slide off and go crashing down. Otherwise, this has been fun for the ENTIRE family!!!!

Controller broke after one day also, like other reviewer. Not a battery issue. Will see what fisher-price customer service says. My son loves it, but if it won't work then its obviously not worth it.

My grandson loved the train and loved the track but train owrked a total of three hours and broke. Was not a battery issue. He was heart broke. I bought a second train for him and it also broke the first day. Just quit working.

A very hard train to find. I am very happy I found it here. My son loves Geo trax and I am glad to add it to his collection. I know this train will stand up to hard use. The train will also get a lot of use.

My husband and I think this is the fastest of all the Geotrax trains (yes we have all of them)! This and the Oceanside Flyer are the favorites at our house! I recommend it for anyone that is looking to add on to their Geotrax.

This is one of the many GeoTrax engine I've purchased which has stopped working for no reason. They were working fine when I put them all away (with all the batteries removed, so no battery leak caused it). Out of six engines I stored, only one worked six months later when I got them out for my kids to play with again. I searched Mattel's web site for some sort of web based customer service to complain to, but as far as I can tell there is none.

Save your money, buy a real train set instead. This is just overpriced chinese-made garbage.

My son and Daughter have 3 trains for their set, don't know why but the other 2 (the one that came with the set and the Grey One) work well. This one on the other hand is about half as slow as them witch has the side effect of the other bumping into this one. At first I thought it was defective and had it exchanged at the store but the new one is just as slow. My advice is buy the Fire engine or another but not this one.

My grandsons play with this set continuosly. They are very durable and the 3 and 5 year old can set it up without additional help. Very child (and adult) friendly.

My son got this for Christmas and absolutely loves it. He's 2 1/2 and I'm sure will play with it for years to come.

Like others, we gave a GeoTrax train set to my 2 year old for Christmas. It lasted about 24 hours before the locomotive stopped working properly. The product is terrific when it works properly, but it didn't work for us. Fisher Price is sending us a replacement engine and gave us a remedy for our problem, which didn't work. In the mean time, I have about $100 worth of stuff that my kid won't play with because of a faulty engine. I would also recommend rechargable batteries...if you have "hills" in your set, it will suck the batteries dry!
