Review: Put together track correctly - I have put this little train up at work on a much expanded figure 8 track, as seen in the picture every year between Halloween and Thanksgiving 4 years in a row. It runs 9 hours every day, at a slow prototypical speed (faster would run better) 5 days a week for at least 5 weeks. That's over 1000 hours of smooth running. Putting up the track, I run the train at various speeds for testing puposes, and invariably I find some uncupling or derailing problems. Every time it is because when connecting a section of track, I've not set the track correctly into the little crimp connector on one rail or the other. Usually, i've slipped the rail on top of the connector, and that leaves a little bump, or heigth difference that causes the derailment. It's so slight that casual observance doesn't show it, but running my finger over the joint, lets me feel the problem. I make the correct connection and look for the next problem area. Once it runs smoothly for 15 minutes at speed, we're good for the rest of the season. The students (High School) love it, as most haven't seen a "toy" train set, especially not one so small. The only problems I've had, is sometimes the kids bump it, or because I've got it running so slowly, it may stop at the track cross over, as there are some unpowered parts of the track there, necessary to keep the track from shorting out. A small bump with my finger to get it going, and adjusting the speed a little higher (so that it will coast through the crossing) and we're good for the reat of the day. I feel this is not the fault of the set, but rather design constraints for running the system. At night we "park" it near the back and turn it off. Our running speed is with the dail at about the 11:00 position. There is only one connection to the track from the power pack, even with all that extra track. I've ordered an extra set, in case this one goes out and I think I will use it this year so I can take the "old" engine apart to clean and lube it for another 1000 hours of use. Again, I can't emphasize enough, with cars so small and light, you need a well laid out and maintained roadbed, with out any bumps and good electrical connection. Also, yes the cars don't auto couple when they come together, but they do look and hold together better than the older "Rapido" style couplers. As I just leave it running all day, I appreciate the look and reliability of the newer "knuckle" connetors, even though they are harder to connect and rerail. As for engines that don't work, it gets it's power from the tender, which doesn't weigh much; mayby adding a little weight would help. I know I clean our track every year, and that seems to help with the power issues that might arise. We also live in Colorado, so the dry air may be a factor.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone use it with the Department 59 Dicken's village?**
A: I use it with a different smaller village set and it looks great.  I think it would work with the Department 56 items.  Some of my accessories are from Dept 56.

**Q: DO the coach cars light up. Does the headlight on the locomotive light?**
A: The coach cars do not light up. The headlight on my locomotive also does not light up.

**Q: How tall are these cars?**
A: 3/4"

**Q: I have a tabletop that is 17" wide. Can I use flex track to make this work?**
A: I would say no I bought some extra track made a shape like a planters peanut curves in in the center I built a platform out of luan 26 " deep 50 wide made a nice village 17 isn't enough in my opinion but it's a great set

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trains
*by C***N on January 10, 2026*

Very good starter set for my 7 year old grandson!

### ⭐ REALLY disappointing...
*by A***N on December 31, 2023*

Track went together OK. Like trying to build a Swiss watch, especially me coming from Lionel O gauge. (Really big trains.) Rest of setup went well. Engine started right up. Went fine from to slow to fast. However... the couplers are total JUNK!!! None of them will work, in ANY combination. I did get one car to attach to the engine for a bit, but nothing after that. Makes me wonder WHY they included a bag of replacement couplers. Am I supposed to replace bad couplers for THEM??? These trains are SO tiny that no standard screwdriver, even jeweler's ones that I have would fit the screws. I can't even see the screws without a magnifying glass... Manual said go to the website for help. Website said call... They said don't take their defective stuff back to dealer. I'd send it back to Amazon. But the likelihood of them sending me a replacement that would work is negligible. I guess I'll wait till the day after New Year's and call Bachman to see if they have a fix. Pity... The engine is really cute... UPDATE: Train had had complaints for coupling problems since at least 2019! Why are they STILL shipping defective units and spoiling Christmas for so many people???
