We have had this for a year now and it has been a big hit and has proved to be very durable and easy on batteries too (he whistles to remind you to turn him off when he is not being used). I bought it for my 2 year old who is now 3. He soon got used to the controls, they are very easy to operate even for little fingers. Thomas moves forwards and turns around. He plays a tune as he moves which is not too annoying for us adults. My son loves the steam feature which is totally safe (it is just cold water vapor). You can also set Thomas to manual where he can be pushed along by the child and plays his tune as he goes (great if your child is finding the remote control tricky).

I purchased this for my son who is just over 2 years and it has been a real hit ! He loves it and got the hang of the simple controls and thinks its faciniating that cold water comes out of the funnel. It has been very durable and is still on the same batteries, has a push along mode when bored of the remote controls he switches it over himself depending on what he wants to do.
Definately recommended, worth paying the money for.

I bought this product for one of my Thomas-The-Tank-Engine addicted nephews as I liked the sound of the "authentic Steam effect" that it claimed to produce. I did not have time to test it myself before wrapping it up, but managed to witness it's use first-hand last week when i went to visit.
When I asked my sister about the toy and whether it actually produced "steam" she replied that it did, and proceeded to show me. She filled up the container within the unit with water, and then handed the control to my nephew (Aged 3), he then proceeded to send Thomas across the living room carpet with what appeared to be actual steam coming from his chimney. I was actually really rather impressed by this as I had never seen this before from any child's toy - although I recall Scalextrix and Hornby may have used similar technology but I had long since grown out of them by the time it came along.
The toy itself aside from the Steam effect is simple enough. It's not particularly fast, nor does it do anything else or come with any other accessories, so one could argue that it's a very basic Radio Controlled device with a Steam gimmick, but I think it's honest enough to pull it off and so I can happily recommend it to anyone with a young child who might show an interest.
Tip: They're likely to ask you how it works but I didn't even know the answer myself!

Great toy
My daughter loves it.
It's not too loud or too fast, and we strapped carriages to poor Thomas, so he can work as a real chugger. Read more
