This review is from: Bachmann Trains Thomas And Friends – Salt Wagon (Toy)

I bought this wagon to go along with all our HO Thomas trains. It is fun to play with and it arrived brand new like I bought it at the store.

This is a really nice representation of a big CSX engine. My two year old loves it because it looks just like the “twains” he sees in the region. Be aware, this engine will not work on 18 inch radius curves. However, it is doing fine on 22 inch curved track.

Received this train and it had a sticker on it warning that it is made with a chemical known to cause cancer and reproductive problems in the state of California. Wish this warning had been posted in the description. I sent it back. Have found out since that several of Bachmann’s trains have this warning on. There are other train companies that use better materials.

This is a great toy to go from the wooden track to electric track. It is big and sturdy enough for a five year old to play. My son absolutely loves it.
