Product Description
Join in the fun with Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends! James is a medium-sized engine. His six driving wheels are not as big as Gordon's and not as small as Thomas'. He a has fine scarlet coat and brass dome and likes to think of himself as a Really Splendid Engine. This can occasionally lead to high-falutin' ideas about sort of work suitable for such a noble creature: invariably they land James into trouble. Discover the large range of accessories to build and expand your own world of Thomas.

This review is from: Tomy Thomas Track Master James Train (Toy)
Although this is a good looking engine, the battery is housed in the coal truck, and there are wires joining the coal truck to the engine. These wires soon broke with the normal play of my 3 year old, so now James can't be battery driven. We had the same problem with Henry. Now I always look for trains with the battery in the engine itself, such as Thomas or Diesel.

This review is from: Tomy Thomas Track Master James Train (Toy)
Although my sons favourite Thomas character he was heart broken when james stopped working within a few days, this was due to the wiring between james and his coal truck snapping therefore james has to be manually moved now. for the price they charge for the engines i have found a fair few to be of poor value, ive had 3 toby engines, each one the battery connectors dont work, 2 bertie buses on both the tiny switches have snapped off and the same with a few others. considering how much parents pay i really feel we are now being ripped off with shoddy toys, and just paying for the "Thomas" brand

Great but the pamphlet that came with it was misleading!,

This review is from: Tomy Thomas Track Master James Train (Toy)
James the Red Engine,The small pamphlet that comes with it to show how to insert batteries is misleading and incorrect. Using only diagrams (with no words) it shows how to lift the cover of the caboose to insert one battery. The diagram also shows how to lift the cover of the locomotive to insert a second battery. Squeeze from both sides and lift up. Tried it, it wouldn't lift up. Used a knife to force the 2 parts of the locomotive to separate but luckily stopped short of breaking it. Finally used a screw driver to unscrew 4 screws on the bottom of the locomotive ... 7 parts came out ... what a mess, but wait ... there was no place to insert a battery either! Took me half an hour to put it together again while my 3-4 kid hovering around. What a relief when I finally flicked the switch on and the train wheels started to move. My son loves it. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful:

Buy Percy Instead,

This review is from: Tomy Thomas Track Master James Train (Toy)
My 3 year old loves playing with his Tomy Thomas Train Set so we bought him this to expand his original set. The Thomas engine in the original set took a lot of abuse from my toddler and it continues to run fine. However, the battery for James is pulled behind it in the tender car. There is a wire that connects the car to the engine. This wire broke after about two weeks of play so the engine doesn't run any more. The only good news is that my son is able to hook up the cars that came with this to his Thomas train to make a longer train. My recommendation for younger children would be to buy Percy. The battery for Percy goes inside the engine, just like Thomas. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

This review is from: Tomy Thomas Track Master James Train (Toy)
I bought this for my two year old to go with his Big Set. The battery is in the coal car and its' lid/cover keeps coming off! I have taped it on to keep my son from playing with a battery and that works for about one day. All the other trains that we have of this set have battery compartments in the bottom and you need a screwdriver to get to them. I do not like this James set. There are others that are better.
