5.0 out of 5 stars Great little train, plenty of power, not great turning
Originally bought the smaller beginner toddler brio train. Did well, but as only had 1 battery it would run out of energy quickly and ran slowly. Also since my 2 year old liked to push it sometimes too this also slowly damaged the motor.We bought this train as a replacement. Firstly he loves the red colour and extra wheels. It takes 2 batteries and is way more powerful able to pull 2-4 carriages with little strain. Buttons are are easy to use (although he is nearly 3 now). Lights at front are fun for going through tunnels. There's a free wheeling button so you can turn the motor off and still push the train without damaging the motor, which my son loves to do sometimes too. Goes forward and reverse. The only downside is that it is longer so doesn't do tight turns well and call fall off the tracks.
5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, long-lasting little engine
From the reviews it seemed this is the best Brio engine and experience tends to confirm it:- can pull at least 6 cars up the curved tracks for bridges (we only have 6... maybe it can do more!)- battery lasts well: 2-3 days of heavy-ish play, more than a week if the kid also plays with it in unpowered mode- it CAN be played with in unpowered mode! (button decouples gears and the wheels move freely then) which not many of the powered engines can do- it makes an engine noise for only a very short amount of time when started (about 10 seconds) after which it runs silent. Times out after 10 minutes or so (another good point to stop the battery for going dry if the kid forgets about it running around the track)- some people say it's slow, I didn't find it so, the tracks are small so it moves at a realistic speed at that scaleThe minuses:- the jointed extension for pulling gets in the way the engine goes backwards, can get more easily off the track at switches etc.- for the same reason, can't go up hills when going backwards- the battery screw is a bit tough to reach/feels like it may be the weak point after many battery swapsConclusion: use it going forwards.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it.
We've had this for a few months now and it's still running strong. It eats through batteries sometimes, then other times it's fine. We usually play with it/run it about 5-20 minutes at a time and play with it a couple of times a week. Batteries last about a month or less. It pulls 2 cars easily, and obviously struggles the more cars/weight or hills you add (particularly with hills). We've had it pull up to 9 cars, but it slows way down and you can hear it struggle. I would not recommend this if you want yours to last. It does derail easily, due to it's length if you make very sharp curves, but this is a given. All-in-all this is a great train and I would buy it again.
4.0 out of 5 stars ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BATTERY TRAINS!
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW!I thought I'd write an extensive review because like many parents who are probably a bit more interested in trains than their kids... I have bought a few different ones, looking for the BEST!I have three battery operated trains and here is their score out of 40;1 - Brio red mighty action locomotive 30! WINNER2 - Bigjigs Rail Mallard 26 TWO BONUS POINTS FOR BEING FASTER!3 - Hape Number One - 25The mighty red is easily the best all rounder, however it is not anywhere as near as fast as the Bigjigs AND the worst thing is the screw that needs to be opened to change the battery is very hard to get to.Bigjigs derails and has many problems getting round our complex track - Too fast down hills so derails, too wide to enter tunnels after a bend, not good enough grip to get up hills from certain make of tracks... generally less stable mostly because of speed.Hape is SLOW and steady, has never derailed or got stuck and can pull a couple of carriages. It is SILENT so that good if like quiet but bad for kids who like sound.All three seemed to have around the same battery usage. I use rechargeable batteries as you will be changing them every few days and it's a waste to throw batteries away and buy new ones. None of them are perfect by any means.Here's how they performed in different categories out of 5;SPEED1 - Brio red mighty action locomotive - 32 - Bigjigs Rail Mallard - 5 + 2 points! = 73 - Hape Number One - 1I just timed a lap of all three - slightly inaccurate because they didn't all start with brand new fully charged batteries but the order is undoubtedly correct. 1 min 10 sec for our fast and furious Bigjig, 1 min 42 for our medium paced but steady Brio and an incredibly slow but steady 2 mins 34 for Hape!However... because of Bigjigs extra speed, it is faster downhill and has less control. I've had to change the layout so that there is a long straight after the hill so it doesn't derail on the bend. However because I think it's important for a train to be fast I've added two bonus points for this category.CONTROLS (movement switch)1 - Brio red mighty action locomotive - 52 - Bigjigs Rail Mallard - 13 - Hape Number One - 2The Brio comes with a very kid friendly 3 individual, easy to see, well spaced out buttons that go forwards, stop and backwards. Bigjigs has just one button... forwards and kids keep half pressing it so it roars forwards but doesn't stay on. Hape has a slightly awkward switch, that my 2 year old doesn't understand and it's difficult to stop the train without putting it into reverse. The good thing is, it has a reverse!SOUND and LIGHTS1 - Brio red mighty action locomotive - 42 - Bigjigs Rail Mallard - 23 - Hape Number One - 2I've given Hape a 1 for sound because it doesn't have any! But to be honest not having a sound is good sometimes so depends if you want sound or not. Hape has a good light.Bigjigs has several sounds but unfortunately the loudest and most obvious sound is AWFUL and sounds like a pterodactyl or an attacking hawk... but it does have some other sound that fade in and out that are quite good. It has NO LIGHTS though, which is a real shame as they are fun to see as they go through tunnels or you turn the house lights off.Brio wins this easily. It has two headlights and very nice sounds, which also turn off and on after a while, meaning it doesn't become annoying. It also has a different sound for revers, which is cool.STABILITY1 - Brio red mighty action locomotive - 42 - Bigjigs Rail Mallard - 23 - Hape Number One - 5Probably because it's so slow, Hape never derails. Brio is very stable but can come unstuck and Bigjigs is all over the place, because of it's speed it can derail at the bottom of hills and is generally less forgiving on an imperfect track.PULLING CARRIAGES1 - Brio red mighty action locomotive - 42 - Bigjigs Rail Mallard - 43 - Hape Number One - 1Brio and Bigjigs can both pull four carriages happily on a VERY hilly course but after that, with five carriages there are issues. Brio simply isn't strong enough and Bigjigs' magnet fails so the carriages decouple and roll back down the hill! Hape can only pull two carriages up a decent hill, at least when the batteries aren't 100% BUT the magnet is round the wrong way... at least compared to all other products from several different companies.HILLS1 - Brio red mighty action locomotive - 52 - Bigjigs Rail Mallard - 33 - Hape Number One - 4Bizarrely, Bigjigs doesn't go up certain types of track - to the eye they look the same but the grain of the wood must be slightly different and it doesn't go up them at all.Brio is brilliant.Hape is slow but rarely if ever fails up hill with full batteries.TUNNELS1 - Brio red mighty action locomotive - 42 - Bigjigs Rail Mallard - 23 - Hape Number One - 5Bigjigs is much wider than the other two trains so when it tries to enter a tunnel after a curve and hasn't had time to fully straighten it gets stuck every time. This means I had to change the track so that there are long straights before tunnels - an unnecessary restriction!Brio can sometimes get stuck because of its height if the track is not laid PERFECTLY. But mostly it's great.Hape is definitely the smallest, therefore best in tunnels.BATTERY CHANGE1 - Brio red mighty action locomotive - 12 - Bigjigs Rail Mallard - 53 - Hape Number One - 5Brio, why make it so hard to reach the screw? The screw is a phillips/straight hybrid so I bought a set of tiny Phillips screwdrivers to fit. But the Philips screw has already worn out after three battery changes so I've had to buy another screwdriver, a flat head with a very thin, long neck or you can't reach the screw.To avoid the battery change experience I may well get a rechargeable train... it's expensive but maybe worthwhile. But how it will take corners I don't know!The other two trains have perfectly sensible, easily accessible screws.CONCLUSIONBrio Mighty Red is the most expensive but best all rounder. If you have a flat track and don't mind a noisy train then the Bigjigs is fastest and if you just want a nice, calm, nice looking locomotive then Hape is your best bet.I didn't add a category for looks/style because they are all very different and look good but it's down to taste.
5.0 out of 5 stars Right on track!
After seeing online videos of this, I was a bit worried that it would be a bit mundane compared other other, speedier, noisier, flashier, powered toys, and might not engage my sons. I was wrong. My two sons love it, and after a week of play, their love of it seems to just keep growing even stronger.It feels a very well made toy. It's not particularly fast, but it assuredly pulls a trainload of carriages around the Brio track and over bridges. It occasionally stops if the track pieces are horizontally misaligned (as sometimes happens if you are using track from different manufacturers, for instance) or the bend is too tight, but a quick push soon gets it going again.The accompanying sounds can't be turned off, but they are not overly loud or annoying, and only play for a few seconds when the train starts its journey. The two forward lights, and the red reversing light, are nice touches. I also like the switch that coverts the train into a free-wheeler, for pushalong play.You will need a small phillips screwdriver to change the batteries, by removing the front of the boiler via a screw in the chimney stack. It's a little fiddly, but not overly complex.
Well built train for hours of fun
The media could not be loaded. This is a well built train that is worth every bit of its price. It is strong and capable of pulling 5+ cars (probably more) on flat tracks and at least 2 cars on the hilly tracks I've built (see video). The running lights and choo choo noises are a nice touch too. (Sound disabled in the video for privacy.)It was smart of the designers to incorporate the on/off toggle so that it can be used for free play (gears disengaged, rolls freely, won't damage the motor) as well as powered play (forward and reverse).The only downside is that it will have trouble on sharp curves (runs off the track or gets stuck) because of the long wheelbase. But as long as your tracks have broader curves it will run fine.Overall this is a great way to bring life to wooden train sets.
IKEA ile uyumlu
IKEA tren raylarıyla uyumlu ve en az 4-5 tane vagonu bana mısın demeden rahatlıkla çekebiliyor. Tavsiye ederim
Lola rollt
Leider ist der Lokführer nicht in der Gewerkschaft und die Lok rattert den ganzen Tag durch die Zimmer .Aber das ist ja auch gut so - meistens !
Great, fast and strong train.
Very good.
Quickly broke
The train looks nice, and would have been fun if it actually worked, but it broke really quickly (despite us being very careful when using it), and now it only drives backwards, which doesn't make it very fun. Too expensive for the quality.
