The description of this toy says "Wooden Railway System" however it's almost entirely made from poor quality plastic - there is absolutely no wood in this product whatsoever. It takes one AAA battery which lasts a very short amount of time. The locomotive is incapable of climbing even very shallow inclines - so no fun with going up over bridges etc. The "Brio" logo on the train is a cheap sticker and will most probably fall off. All in all a very poor offering. It has a cheap feel, eats batteries and performance is very poor, oh yeah and it's not made from wood. Stay away.......
