Whilst this train works fine, the description is very misleading as there are no cars included in the box. I assume the term 'cars' refers to the trucks attached to the engine and not to the motor vehicles I expected to find inside them! Apart from that disappointment, the train was very popular with the little birthday boy and works well on the track or just on the floor.A great beautiful train pack ,arrived here well packaged and in pristine condition , it's been put away for Leo,s birthday ,I'm looking for lightweight Cars that fit inside the car carrying wagons ,or we might try some animals and make it a circus train. TWish that cars were supplied with this item as they are expensive and hard to get now. Good way of linking the train sets to the car setGreatBrilliant fun for little boys who love cars and trains, good quality
