The Polar Express Train Set--A Review

Welcome to my Polar Express Train Set review. Everyone remembers the stunning 2004 movie, "The Polar Express." Since its release just a few years ago, it's become a beloved Christmas classic. Now, you can bring the beauty and wonder of the film home for your children to play with in the Polar Express Train Set. Designed for children ages 8 and above, even younger children can enjoy this magical toy with parental supervision. It looks remarkably like the train in the film, so kids can pretend they're riding to the North Pole to see Santa Claus along with all the other kids on the train.

This exquisitely crafted Lionel Train Set is extremely easy to assemble. It has smoothly lining cars and a track that's a snap to piece together. The parts are all made of heavy, durable materials, which means that they won't break easily. There's a transformer included to power the train, though it will need to be charged before the train will run on the tracks. Fortunately, charging doesn't take long. The Lionel Trains Polar Express Train Set is a perfect way to introduce children to the magic and wonderment of toy train sets, and could very well be the beginning of a lifelong hobby.

The Lionel Polar Express Train parts include some small figurines that ride on top of the cars. These can be potential choking hazards to young children, so for any child under the age of 8, parental supervision really is necessary when using this toy. However, the figurines create a more lifelike experience that is astounding to behold. There's even a steam whistle on the engine car that sounds absolutely authentic.

This is a delightful toy with an old-fashioned charm. Even better, you can add to it by purchasing additional track pieces, since the track that comes with the set isn't very long (measuring 60 inches by 40 inches). With the Polar Express Train Set O Gauge model, you get one die-cast steam engine, a coal tender, 2 passenger cars, an observation car, a transformer, 4 movie characters, an oval track, and an instruction book. There's also a bottle of smoke fluid included to provide an even more realistic experience. If you're looking for that one special toy that will be treasured for years to come, this is the one you want. Your children will set this up each year well into their teens, and may even include it in their own family holiday decorating traditions when they're all grown up.
