I ordered this for my 3 year old son and decided to open it prior to his birthday to check contents. Glad I did!
The trackmat is paper and was ripped, even if it wasn't ripped it would soon be as the creases are very deep, I expected it to be plastic coated or atleast of laminate quality. When fixing the track together the power pack would not connect and had to be propped up to even work?! Have sent this back as highly disappointed in it.

I remember having Hornby trains when I was young, so I bought a Thomas the Tank Engine set from Amazon a year ago for my oldest grandson and the train set was excellent. So, this year I decided to buy a Toy Story 3 train set for my youngest grandson and I could not believe how poor the quality of the train set was. It is obvious that Hornby have had to pay such a high price to Disney for the license to produce the product that Hornby have decided to reduce the quality of the product in order to keep the price in line with their other train sets.
When the train set was opened the front wheels of the engine had already fallen off as they are only held in place with a tiny amount of glue!! The couplings are of such poor quality and design that it is impossible for a young child to remove or add the rolling stock while it is on the line. The "forward and backward" switch on the transformer does not even work properly and "Woody" became detached too easily and could have been swallowed by a smaller child.
If the train set had not been bought as a Christmas box I would have returned it to Hornby and demanded my money back under the "Sale of Goods Act" as, in my opinion it is not of merchandisable quality.
This is in no way a fault of Amazon but Hornby really should be ashamed of themselves.

Toy Story Train Set - Poor Quality
We received this Toy Story train set as a gift for my children at Christmas. We finally opened it and set up a few days later and were immediately highly disappointed. Read more

Made of plastic (most of it) - not as good a quality as I'd expect...
The product arrived on time - and it's fairly good quality, would buy the same product from the same people again.
It's the only one you can buy that it toy story though.

Rubbish!
This is absolutely terrible. Cheap plastic control which doesn't work, flimsy trains which don't sit on flimsy rails and the so called play mat is paper. Read more

What a waste of money
This was bought for my 4 year old so I have probably spent more time trying to get it working than I normally would (it would probably be in the bin by now !). Read more

Not a toy for small hands
I agree with Frank S. In my opinion this is a toy that has been designed and produced to look authentic, which it does. Read more

As a buyer of Hornby train products for some 30 years now, and a great admirer of their recent railway models, I can honestly say this was the worst Hornby item I've ever... Read more
