5.0 out of 5 stars Loving our Lionel, December 30, 2009

My husband and I bought this for our 4 year old son for Christmas, and he loves it. I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids normally, but our son has experience with other Lionel trains, and knows they need to be played with carefully. He asked for a Caterpillar Train for Christmas after seeing one at Toys R Us, but after reading online reviews, I decided to get one that would be compatible with our other track and cars. We use the train with Fast Track, which is much more durable than the old metal track. The transformer works smoothly, and it has a nice whistle sound. It comes with 2 high quality die cast Cat crawler loaders to haul on a flatcar. They tie down with 2 rubber bands for each loader that are attached to the car. Overall, this train has been a great toy and investment. We hope that with continued care, our son will be able to enjoy it for many years to come, maybe with his own kids someday. If your kids are destructo-bots, or you're looking for a throw-it-in-the-toy-box toy, don't spend the money on this train.

I like the set; however, the CW-80 transformer turned out to be a Power Max 40, and the treads keep falling off of the tractor models. I bought it for the transformer and track, and was disapointed with the Power Max 40.

We needed to replace a very old train set and found this one at a reasonable price considering everything included. This set works great. The locomotive is very powerful. The train's whistle works fine but we have not been able to get any smoke. It's not a big deal, our grandkids are really enjoying it even without the smoke.
