(More customer reviews)This red engine has resparked my kid's interest (& me too) in his wooden train set. However, when it comes to climbing with more than 3 cars, the nose of the engine rises and then just loses traction with 5 cars or more. Our work-around is to add weight to the tip to keep the nose down. Tacky... but now my kid can pull 6-7 cars during climbs. We're using the Brio tracks, not sure if the (knurled) Thomas tracks would've provided more traction. If Brio were to perfect this train engine, I'd suggest weighing down the nose-tip area and maybe have at least two drive axles (the front axles in addition to the rear axles). It was a pleasant surprise to actually see batteries were included. However, I recommend replacing the two AA in the front engine with better ones... it's peppier around the tracks and better at climbing.
