5.0 out of 5 stars Sights And Sounds of the Sea, July 12, 2005

This review is from: GeoTrax Rail & Road System - Harbor Docks Lighthouse (Toy)

I have always liked lighthouses so when GeoTrax offered a lighthouse, I had to get it to add to our setup. This is a wonderful addition in terms of play but it does use three AA batteries.

A button at the top of the lighthouse activates the light and sounds. I had thought the sounds would just be a fog horn. Imagine my delight when I heard surf and seagulls! When I pushed the button again I got a different set of sounds. But the light and sounds are also activated when a vehicle passes through the arch (a light sensor triggers the action). On the "water" side is a small dock for a tugboat (included). The dock also has a fuel station to fuel up the boat. A crane is also included to move freight between the boat and the track. The pieces are highly detailed n the same manner as all GeoTrax (here we see shells, crabs, an anchor, and other wildlife incorporated into the pieces).

Even before I put in the batteries my son was loving the lighthouse. He particularly enjoyed fueling the boat. The set comes with a piece of curved train track and not the usual straight piece which make real sense for a lighthouse but it can be placed over any section of track. A great addition to any GeoTrax setup.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to Geotrax!, June 18, 2005

This lighthouse was a really great add on to our track layout. It has a light sensor inside that sets the sounds and lights off on the lighthouse when a train passes through. The toy will also shut off when it is not played with for an amount of time (maybe 15 minutes? not sure). This is a helpful feature considering batteries are not cheap! Then it can be turned back on again by hitting the button on top of the lighthouse.

The only complaint I have about this toy is the sound level seems too high. I know Fisher Price has toys out there that have not been recalled, but are the dangerous toys list because of the decibel level. This one belongs there. I wish the sound was adjustable because I don't want my little one experiencing hearing loss because of a toy!

Another great feature of this add on is that it isn't hard to incorporate into your layout. Set your track up and then just pick a spot to put the lighthouse around a curved piece. It doesn't take up much room either. The Air & Sea series as a whole has been great, we love it. This set comes with a boat and piece of removeable cargo, and the lighthouse has a gas pump to "fillup" the boat.

We definitely recommend this piece, its one of our favorites for making the set more interesting!

I would say that this is perhaps one of my favorite additions to the Geotrax set next to the Clock Tower. The lighthouse "interacts" with the set because as a train passes through the arch, it activates the light in the lighthouse and one of three different sounds. Very realistic. Many of add-on's don't do much, but this one gives the set a deeper sense of realism which is nice. Fully recommend.
