Hardly Classic Train Set,
January 26, 2012
By: JimDMA
from Boston, MA
"Product arrived with marks on the box indicating that it had been used a gift prior to my purchasing. Obviously, a returned product being resold. On opening box I discovered several of the couplers were broken. Maybe this was why it was returned in the first place. I purchased a similar product in 2006 from Orvis and was hoping this new train would be of the same quality. I was very wrong.
It was returned for a full refund."

Poor Quality Toy,
January 7, 2012
By: trainwrecktwo
from Savannah GA
"We purchased the train for our grandson who is three years old. Parts began to fall off of it from the time we opened the box. The engine is sturdy but the cars are poor quality. One drop on a carpeted floor was the end of the caboose. The roof fell off. The next was the freight car. The wheels fell off. Grandson was upset but not as much as his grandfather.
We shall see what Orvis has to say. After all their name is on the box."

"When we opened the box, we saw that one wheel was already broken off. The set is very cheap and rickety. However, the price is pretty low in comparison to other train sets, so I guess you get what you pay for!"

Disappointed grandparents,
December 16, 2011
By: justnana
from Glenolden PA
"This present is for our young grandson who will probably not notice there are parts missing. The train itself will please him but it probably won't last very long. We had to use a paper clip for a missing hook between the train cars. The track is flimsy.And no we didn't return it."

Great for under the tree!!,
December 11, 2011
By: grama
from Atlanta, Georgia
"We wanted to have a train to go under the tree for a number of years but had never gotten around to getting one till it was too late to get it in time for Christmas.
This year we saw The Classic Rail SuperSize train and ordered it a couple of weeks ago. It is now under the Christmas tree - looks and runs Great. Shipping was very fast as well.
We love it and so will our Grandkids when they see it and hear it going around the tree."

Train around the tree,
November 29, 2011
By: Viktoria
from VT
"The Train itself and all the cars is nice - however the locomotive is rather loud but it have a good "train sound" - must be on hard wood floor, the plastic tracks are not sturdy enough - Everything is made of thin plastic so in my opinion it is NOT for small children under 5 years - For the price and a little effort it makes a Great Christmas Decor around the tree"

Frustrating Toy!,
November 28, 2011
By: maplessk
"I have a 2 & 4 year old, one of which is VERY into trains. So, I thought this would be a good year to get a train to go around the tree. I would not recommend getting this train unless you have the ideal set-up as pictured in their display (hardwood floors & a tiny tree skirt). I have a regular size tree skirt, so the train track has to run over 2 sides of it. The tracks don't connect well to begin with, but when you throw in the bumps from the tree skirt, the track doesn't stand a chance. Not only that, it's difficult to get all the wheels of all the cars placed perfectly on the track so that it runs straight. Finally, the cheap, plastic hooks holding the cars together frequently don't stay on (and one of the them came broken in the package).
As I mentioned above, some of my problems might go away if I had the perfect set-up, but for $80, I shouldn't have to create an ideal setting. My children have been very disappointed & frustrated, making me wish I had never purchased this to begin with."

I love this train!,
February 5, 2010
By: enthusiastic
from Northern California
"I bought this train a few seasons ago and have used it around the Christmas tree ever since. I love it and so do my grandchildren who are 4 and 20 months! Because it is not electric the kids can turn it on (by pushing a button) and watch it go. One of the cars is big enough for a stuffed animal or small doll to go for a ride. Since Christmas my grandson who is 20 mos goes to where the tree was and says," choo choo!" The tracks are a bit fragile and it would be nice to have replacements available. I recommended the train to two friends who each purchased one."

"I've always wanted a Train around the Christmas Tree for the Grandchildren. This one looks like a real train, has the smoke, whistle and another noise. We tried it on the carpet and it did keep running off the track, but think that on a hardwood floor, it will not do this. I think the product was worth the price. If someone wants a really nice train, they will have to pay the big bucks for one."

"This was a birthday gift for our 7 year old grandson. After I read the reviews, I was a little leery, but decided to get it anyway. He loves it! Other reviews said they couldn't figure out how to make it smoke. Ours smoked all by itself. Very cool! It isn't heavy black smoke- just little wisps. There were no instructions at all, but wasn't hard to figure out how to put it together and make it go. It makes great train noises. The track is the part that could be improved. It is not durable and one part keeps coming apart when the train runs over it, causing derailment."

"Train was functional and cute. Not for younger children. Easily derailed and too fragile for typical Christmas morning roughhousing."

"Our grandson is a 3 1/2 year old train junkie! So we got him this, from Santa ... Christmas morning he went bonkers! All other gifts were totally ignored! The only problem was no one could figure out how to make it smoke. But he didn't know it was supposed to, so it didn't bother him a bit. It will come out, now, every Christmas, around the tree, with wonderful memories to be relived each time."
