    I have a Holiday train set but……when I unpacked it for display this year the part that clips onto to track that the train gets it power from is broken. I need the replacement part so my train will run. Know where I can get such an item?

    We have had this train for 10 years! We love it and my kids can’t wait to put it up every year around the tree. It is a plastic train, so yes you have to be careful with it, and you can not turn the train up full speed or it will derail. I taught my kids to be careful with it and they have. The only problem is I went to buy my little niece one for Christmas next year and it does not look like I can get another one. I am so sad and hope I can find it somewhere. We really have loved this train!!

    This is a great little animated train set that everyone talked about over the holidays. It is easy to setup and looks wonderful as it chugs it’s way around under the tree. Better speed controls over the train would be nice but all in all it’s an entertaining set.

    Bought this train about 6 years ago. For the price, it was amazing. Lots of detail, moving

    parts, lights and sounds. It earned its price. But after a few years cheap construction began to

    show. Connecting the track with circuit continuity became a challenge, even with a voltmeter.

    The clips that were to connect the control and Santa’s Station worked intermittantly.

    That plus the frequent derailments, present from the beginning, made the whole experience

    more frustrating tan fun for me, and my 5 and 9 year olds. Tonight, it is going in the

    trash. Summary: its worth the price but don’t expect it to last for long. Perhaps with solder…

    After 10 years, I finally decided to replace my old battery operated train set which took 5 AA batteries that I change at least 3 times each season. I wanted the new train to be the same size but unfortunately, I already got rid of the box and I could not find the “gauge” anywhere on the train. I saw this product on Amazon and looking at the pictures, I knew it was the right size. After a few tweaks, I finally got everything to work perfectly. I love the fact that there is a “mute” button for when I just want to listen to Christmas music and watch the train go around the christmas tree. The details and animation are amazing. Now, I’m thinking of hooking it up to an electric power to send a shock to whoever wants to touch it (just kidding).
