Lionel 28 Piece Hogwarts Express Battery Powered Mini Model Train Set

You guys this is literally a true Lionel brand hobby train, which means it's a very lightweight plastic and not necessarily intended to be played rough with.. if you have slightly older kids that are really into trains like I do then the value for the money is unreal, but younger kids might prefer a diecast or metal train set. ❤️

I bought this as a gift, so I haven't used it yet. however, it looks authentic which was a relief being that it was bought with no picture available. the deal seemed too good to pass up, so I bought it with only the words that a picture of the product would be coming soon. here is a pic of the back of the box.

I bought NEW to take as a gift for a kid overseas. It turned out that returned goods sent to me. This is revealed when assembling.. now I can't return since item is overseas. .Even flee market traders don't do this.

When I first tried to use it, I LOVED the sounds the train made, but the train kept de-railing. I thought maybe it was because the train cars were so lightweight, so once I taped a couple of quarters to the bottom of each car, it worked fine. Overall, I'm happy with the train, but would maybe consider spending a little more for the more expensive (and hopefully sturdier) version.

Great train, my 4 year old nephew loves it and plays with it a lot. It was easy to put together and the batteries last quite a while in it, so we don't have to constantly change them. He has no idea what Hogwarts is, he just likes the train and sounds it makes

The battery was impossible to connect, the plastic quality was very poor. Not worth the money.

It's what my grandson wanted

I am satisfied

I was searching for this for my daughter. It was quite expensive everywhere else. This is actually a toy, but my adult daughter decorates a "geek" tree. She has Star Wars, Dr. Who, and Harry Potter ornaments, among others. This train set will go well with it.

When my son put the batteries in the locomotive, it became extremely hot. I actually burned my thumb while trying to take the battery out. The label actually peeled off one of the batteries
