LEGO Express Passenger Train 60337

A wonderful, happy son who received this as a birthday gift. And that's great, because, you know, LEGO is expensive. Normally, we would first look on second-hand sites for a purchase like this, but there isn't much available (which is a good sign). Indeed, there are a lot of batteries needed, but we simply use rechargeable batteries (which is more environmentally friendly and ideal for this type of toy), and that works perfectly. I'm a big reader of reviews, and somewhere I read that it didn't work with rechargeable batteries because they only provide 1.2V instead of 1.5V. But so far, after just one month of use, we haven't had any problems. The track is a bit limited, the "round" track can get boring, but grandpa and grandma gave us extra rails and switches to expand it, so that problem is solved. According to the son, the best thing about the train is that it has lights that can be turned on and off in different brightness levels, and that it can travel at different speeds, with the fastest speed being very fast. He hasn't crashed it yet, so the train is quite stable. However, if you lay the round tracks in a wave (up-down-up), he can't drive on them and it derails, because the wheels are slightly too far apart to follow the curves. It also runs perfectly without the tracks. The extras, such as the figures, bicycle, wheelchair, and platform, are also fun, although there isn't much role-playing involved, and it's more about (fast) driving with the remote control. Overall, we haven't had any negative experiences, so we definitely don't regret the purchase!
