Parents should be aware that overfilling the water reservoir may cause Thomas to leak. Many water toys can get messy, so it's best to play with Thomas on a protected play surface. All items should be dried thoroughly when your little engineer is done playing.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
My nephew LOVES Thomas. He is captivated by him and everything trains. When I presented him with this toy, he was so excited. The train is small enough for him to move around with but not too big that he can't do it by himself. The remote is the perfect size for his hands and the buttons large and very easy to use. The steam is a bonus. It really lends authenticity to the train and I think it's amazing that it's cool to the touch and I don't have to worry about him getting burned. He has been playing with it for several days and still isn't bored with it. It's very durable and doesn't have any small parts or sharp corners. I would recommend getting some self-charging batteries though, as you could be going through them like crazy if your little one plays with it for an extended period of time. I would definitely purchase another one!

My 4-year old loves Thomas and all things train related. He was really excited to open this and start using it. I didn't tell him about the smoke in order to gauge his reaction. Overall, he liked it, but wasn't overly impressed. The main disappointment is that the remote control seems flaky, making it very difficult to operate the toy.

When the toy works, it's really cool. The "steam" seems to be cool mist similar to what's produced by an ultrasonic humidifier. The smoke stack also has a blue LED light that shines whenever it makes the smoke so that you can see it easier.

I really liked the fill bottle, which stores on the underside of Thomas, and the train is designed that it leaks very little even if turned upside down. My son had as much fun refilling Thomas as using him.
It worked pretty well on both firm plush and berber carpeting,

The remote is IR (infrared) so it has to be close and able to see Thomas. I noticed that my remote was... Read more

This review is from: Thomas & Friends: Preschool Steam 'n Speed R/C Thomas (Toy)
My son, Joel (2), loves this train! When we first pulled it out of the box, he played with it and just said thank you. After I put the batteries in, and he heard the whistle and saw the steam, he laughed and gave me a big hug! He is in love with this train. We played with it until it was time to sleep and even then I had to take the remote controller from his hand after he fell asleep.
Sure it takes a lot of batteries but it is durable (it survived a trip down the stairs) and fun. To me, it is well worth the money and the batteries.
