Fisher-Price GeoTrax Transportation System Timbertown Railway Play Train Set

Bought this for my 8 month old grandson. Put it around the Christmas tree and he absolutely loved watching it and could even pull back on the remote to make it go. Put it in a plastic storage tote behind a chair in the family room, (not in an attic or basement) until the next Christmas, put in all new batteries and we get sound but the train will not go. I have followed all of the trouble shooting recommendations in the booklet, and can not make it go. Not that this was the most expensive set, but paying $60 for approximately 1 month of use was certainly not worth it. I have other fisher price items from my own children that my grandchildren are still playing with, so I am very sadden by the quality, or lack of, with this item.

We have had our Geotrax sets since my son was 3 (now he's 8) and my son has loved it! Since he has other toys now we are donating it to another family to enjoy. We have also purchased more track to expand our sets and we put it together differently everytime.

My son has played with this set every day since receiving it for his birthday over a month ago. He enjoys it more than his Thomas trains. It is a durable set and I find it easy to snap the tracks together and take them apart. I would recommend this set to anyone.

We bought this as a potty training reward for our 3 1/2 year old son. His requirements were that it had "chugger arms" and a remote. I contemplated buying something "older" but decided I want him to enjoy it NOW. I didn't want him to get frustrated at an ordinary electric train coming off the tracks, etc. This is perfect. It is great for little kids. It is durable, colorful, and manageable for them. The bonus is the DVD which makes this as relatable as Thomas is to his DVDs. I found this whole set to be MUCH cheaper than trying to piece together a Thomas set (for example). The only downside is the train is slow.

This is such a great train set for little hands! My Mother got this train set as a christmas gift and it has been his favorite toy ever since. Great for little hand, easy for him to put together and get on the track. Very durable. Also the DVD that comes with the set is awesome! My son is always asking to watch is geotrack movie!!! A MUST BUY FOR A TRAIN LOVING TODDLER!!!! My Mother is buying another one for my nephews.
