Review: James and his best friend Aaroh - You made my grandson’s day🙌🏻🙌🏻 Thank you so very much. Be blessed.
Review: Great toy, but you really need to supervise younger kids with it - This train moves much faster than I expected. It's a lot of fun for the kids. It works on carpet too, not just the train tracks. You really need to be careful using this toy around younger kids though. It's definitely an entanglement hazard when it comes to hair. And the wheels have a pinch point. Just use common sense and your kids will be just fine playing with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They keep going and going!
*by T***E on February 22, 2018*

This James train is great! My son absolutely love all of his motorized trains. They stay on the tracks well as long as he does not lean on or bump the track to much. The train can even jump the track with the tender attached. They really make for lots of fun. We pulled out his tracks for his birthday party and the trains were a hit and the batteries last for a very long time. He even leave them running and they still last. I 100% suggest this toys for 3yo and up! You also have to be mindful of kids with longer hair and the wheels it will get stuck in their hair!
