Review: Fantastic battery train and the best price one to buy. - Don't understand the negative reviews on this at all. It can pull loads of carriages even up a hill. Battery life is very good. Obviously it will eventual run down with a 4 year old always leaving it running. But to still lasts days. Also very quiet. Which is a big plus for use. Update on this. Recently got the brio freight train as well. Had to return it as it's twice the price but only half the quality of this little hape train. Wheels are bent, won't stay on, only half the speed and canny pull as much as this train
Review: A nice sturdy train with good battery life - I bought this train to use with my grandsons generic wooden train track. The train works really well having both a forward and reverse action using a switch on the top. The battery life is really good and the train has a small light of the front which adds a nice affect. The cost of the train was much less than the well known wooden train brand but in. my opinion works extremely well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this compatible with the Lidl Playtive Junior wooden track?**
A: If the lidl track is compatable with the brio standard that almost all wooden tracks adhere to then it should be fine. I bought the Sainsbury's wooden track and the hape engine worked fine with it. Hope that's some help.

**Q: Mine ran out of batteries after 1 hour of good usage. Does anybody else have issues with battery life?**
A: Yes! Absolutely astonished that anyone at Hape thought they could release a kids' toy that eats 2X AAA batteries an hour!

**Q: How fast is this compared to brio?**
A: It was great but stopped working after a couple of days. Got my grandson a brio steam engion for Xmas but I don't think it's battery operated.

**Q: Will it fit on the Melissa and Doug wooden train set?**
A: Never heard of this one.  Fits on Brio and tracks from Lidl.  This is my Fav train.
