This is a top toy that has been so well thought out and designed. You will also need 3 batteries – and to fit them, and that’s it. Moving. The train moves in the direction the child pushes it and stops if it’s held still (or can’t move). It can run on smooth floors as well as the tracks. The tracks are easy for small hands to put together. The set comes with bricks to build: A simple station (bonus points from me for the baguette and suitcase). A tree (bonus points from me for the squirrel). A coal tipper and shovel. An engine driver type character. A girl character. An engine A carriage Track to make an oval – including 1 straight with a building base to put the station on. Action Bricks (see below) All three roof sections (1 on engine, 2 on carriage) tilt so that characters or ‘stuff’ can be put inside. There’s play value enough in the above to warrant the price (under £50 delivered), but, you also get ‘Action Bricks’. The Action Bricks are tough lozenge shaped things and sit neatly anywhere on the track. As the train runs over an Action Brick, things happen as below: Yellow Action Brick – sounds horn White action brick – switches on engine light and gives a horn ‘chirp’ Blue action brick – engine stops temporarily and steam hising and water glugging type noises are made. Red action brick – stops the train Green action brick stops the train and then reverses its direction. The twins (2 year olds) are enchanted. Really motivated to join the train and carriage together and control it around the track. Learning cause and effect through the Action Bricks, role playing, building around the set. It’s been a big hit. The only downside has been - a few scraps over it – but more than compensated by the hours of engaging play and learning. Oh and it’s soooo cute.Read full review

My son loves it not stopped playing with it since we got it, my only issue is the the track it’s not very big but we knew this after looking at it and reading reviews. So we also got 2 add on sets to make it more fun for building. My son has an iPad and he can use the app to control the train on his own. It’s easy to build and easy to set up the Bluetooth. The photo I added is all 3 sets together

A great set of Duplo train track. It is solid and great for the 3 year old it was bought for. The action bricks are a good addition.

Very impressed by this toy, robust, easy for the kids to put together and the kids love the action blocks. Still have to try the app and we might go for the track extensions too.

Duplo's steam train is well built in such a way that small children can assemble the track after a short experience, both its operation and the variety of options that can be played are understood very quickly. The only downside is that the track (rail) is relatively short and creates boredom for very young children after a relatively short time.
