great value!
By heathert
my son is 3 and i was struggling decisive whether to buy this set or a more highpriced one. he loves trains and we have a great deal of thomas sets (all great) and the dinosaur train set (horrible) so i wondered if this one was good. the set is great – you may make this elaborate set or change it to a flat circle track. he loves the controller and all the sounds it makes. the track is very lasting and sticks together good. altho the mountain is just cardboard – my son loves it. he got it for christmas 2010 and played with it nonstop for days. he still gets it out once a week and plays with it. i have to put it together for him, but after the basi few times i may do it quickly.

Love It!
By N. Fulton
At the last minute, I found this on Amazon after resigning myself to going to sideline shops hoping to find it in time for my son’s 2nd birthday. Thank goodness! It arrived as ordered and I couldn’t wait to put it together-VERY simple to do. Once I had it up & running, my son took over the controller and can’t seem to put it down! He asked what the dissimilar cars were and names them each time the train rounds the track! Since we see Amtrak trains as we are journeying to and fro, I applied the ‘all aboard’ call to help him discern trains. This set makes the sound as well as train sounds and whistle. He utterly loves it! Lionel-thanks! Amazon, you came through again!!

A great train set for littler children
By D. Buroker
I had trains when I was a kid, and so did my dad. I still have my trains and will give them to my son when he’s old enough, but not yet. For now, there’s Lionel Little Lines. The box says ages 2 1/2 and up, and it’s true. This is a real train set, but made of plastic and way more lasting than the huge boy trains.
Our house is altogether tile, and I completely expected the Little Lines engine to be smashed in days or weeks. In fact, I watched my son bounce the engine off the tile many, numerous times. It just keeps on working. Easy on batteries, simple remote control, and the track snaps together exceedingly securely. While surely not the kind of toy that becomes a classic, it is in truth a toy that will last.
Like another reviewer said, it is rather earsplitting and there is no means to adjust the volume. I’m thinking the speaker covering technique is a simple and effective idea- if that doesn’t work, I’ll solder a 100 ohm resistor in series with the speaker. That will unquestionably reduce the volume.
I’d rate this toy a best buy, if your kid is mesmerized in trains. It is tough, simple, fun, and cheap.
