This product is not worth buying. The parts don't matchup. when the wheels are attached to the cart, it is so tight that the wheels don't turn. I think it is a total wast of money and time. I think amazon should not sell such products. I was disappointed.

The box it came in, nothing was written in English. I bought it to give as Christmas presents. How am I supposed to give a gift when nothing on the outside of the box is written in English. My son did a robot camp and made the solar powered train and loved it. I thought it would be a fun and educational gift to give. Very disappointed in the company that it was shipped from.

The train was much smaller than expected. The box and instructions were in English, but there was no manufacturer contact for further info or questions. Cheaply made in China product, but it does work.
