I am extremely disappointed in this train. As a design engineer, I can't help but think of the process used in designing GeoTrax toys, and I cannot believe they don't have a maximum allowable height & length for these. "Bull" is significantly taller than both of my son's other engines, and subsequently often gets stuck while passing under standard items (such as the upper level of the subway station). Additionally, the newer named engines seem to have a longer total length and wheel base than the older ones. This prevents them from working with some older Geotrax items, namely the roundhouse. This could have easily been prevented without sacrificing anything. Fisher-Price really dropped the ball.

My 19 mo old just got this for Christmas, since his big brother (3 1/2) got a Geo Trax set and I had been advised to get a train for each of them. The cargo is fun, especially since we purchased the cargo loader set too. We have not had any trouble with the sizing of the trains - I would highly recommend Geo Trax.

My 3 yr old son recently became addicted to GEOTrax Classic. For his birthday I got him the Timbertown Railway, Aero & Eric, and Bull & Bruno. He has loved Bull and Bruno since day one. One his birthday - when he opeend it he started playing with thema nd hasn't stopped since. My only complaint is that FisherPrice isn't making them any more, so they're hard to find and expensive.

Our son loves the Geo-Trax train stuff and it has got so hard to find. Having done some research I see that Fisher Price began making it in 2003 and has discontinued pretty much all of it. This is such a shame as it is good quality and good fun. My only possible gripe would be that there doesn't seem ever to have been much option in the way of additional track.

This train doesn't grip the tracks like the other geotrax trains do and therefore is constantly coming derailed and falling off the track. My 3.5 year old son is constantly having to fix it and gets frustrated playing with it. (Or asks me to fix it constantly). After paying this much more for a second train, I would expect it to perform as well as the first geotrax train that came with the original set.

Our grandson plays with the toy whenever we babysit him. He plays with it for hours at a time. He loves trains and especially GEOTRAX. I am happy I purchased the toy for him even though it was used. It cleaned up nicely. The seller was very nice to us. Would certainly consider purchasing items from this seller in the future.

I just got this for my two year old son for Christmas. From the second he opened it he has been playing with it non stop. I can hardly get him to eat he loves playing with these trains so much. The trains and tracks are very very durable and are very easy to but together. For the most part he can put all of the tracks together. The trains are also easy to put on the tracks unlike most train sets. I got him the Grand Central Station set as well as the tunnel GeoTrax Rail & Road System - Rocky Falls Tunnel, the suspension bridge Geotrax Suspension Bridge and Helicopter, "Bull and Bruno" train set GeoTrax Rail & Road System Remote Control Set: Bull & Bruno and additional tracks GeoTrax: Road Track Pack. I haven't had a problem with any of these pieces and they work together seamlessly.
My six year old daughter is having a great time playing with these as well and to be quite honest I even enjoy playing with them too.
My only advice would be to shop around. Amazon and some other stores online seem to be way overpriced. For example the Grand Central Station on Amazon is [...], but I found it for [...]. The same goes for other pieces like the bridge, tunnel and "Bull and Bruno" train set. I found all of these for significantly cheaper prices.
Overall the Geotrax set is great and I would highly recommend them for any kid that likes trains.

I bought this for my 3 year old son because he has the GeoTrax movie and Bull and Bruno was all he talked about so of course he was so excited when it arrived. It's a great toy.
