Lionel HO Scale The Polar Express Model Train Set

My son cried when opened Christmas morning! It was beautifully packaged and was delivered very fast! The train is beautiful and the sound it makes are identical to the movie which my son was very specific about the importance of this. Great gift and made our Christmas morning very special! Thank you !

This is a very detailed an intricate train set. The features are incredible. Note it's not for younger children and not as sturdy. This is for train enthusiasts.

Great gift! It was a little smaller than I wanted it to be but made up for it in quality!

Incredible Train Set! always loved the Polar Express since i was a kid. all i can complain about is the Track. Lionel did a horrible job designing and manufacturing the track. it cuts out all the time. the best way i found to fix it is to get a exacto knife and cut part of the rail bed underneath the track that joins together, and to buy standard HO Gauge rail joiners. sure they're flimy and break over time, but it's way more worth the hassle. no one wants a train that will cut out on the tracks while running.

Got it for a Christmas gift and haven't opened yet, but by looking at the box and reading about it, I would say that it's just what we expected. Thanks Walmart, will be shopping more later.

It arrived before scheduled delivery date in perfect working condition. Very satisfied.

Soo happy with this train. My husband loves it! It was an early gift. Super easy to setup and operate.

While the train is a nice version of the Polar Express, it has issues. The track is easy to assemble however it does line up at the joints. The rail heights are uneven, even with rail jointers they are uneven causing derailments at most joints. The track is so bad I ended up buy new track from Backmann. Had to wire in the power line from the Lionel track. The remote eats batteries, the observation car coupler had to be shimmed to keep it from derailing in curves. Then all the lights in the observation car went out. I contacted Lionel about the lights, and they asked for me to return the car, and they would send one back once it arrived at Lionel. After talking to them they agreed I could buy just the lights. $20.00. At the end they are sending them to me for free. 12-20-25 Haven't gotten yet and it's been over two weeks. I bought Lionel because I thought it would a better quality over the other brands. Not! I've been doing HO trains for 40 years and never had so many issues with a new set.
