With the Fisher-Price GeoTrax Remote Control Timber Railway, kids get to be the conductors of their very own train. Completely remote-controlled, the three-car train features auto-aligning wheels that ensure the train stays on the tracks. Children will enjoy piloting the train around the railroad's many colorful bends, loops and slopes. They can use the working crane to load logs onto the train, or make a quick stop at the Easy Rail Station. Designed for kids ages two to seven, this train set provides hours of imaginative play.

Kids will love being the conductor of their very own three-car train. View larger. All Aboard! Fun and Easy to Play With
The Timber Railway is painted in vibrant colors and has a cute, cartoonish look that kids will undoubtedly enjoy. The included train (named "Steamer") comes with three cars: a steam engine, a log cart, and a caboose. When the train's wheels move, its smokestack moves up and down. The train also comes with a conductor action figure. Both Steamer and the conductor also appear in the included feature DVD, which gives kids a story to work within and deepens their imaginative options.
The railroad adventure begins at the Easy Rail Station by placing the train on the orange portion of the railway where it automatically aligns to the track. In general, the auto-aligning mechanism does well keeping the train on the tracks, but the train will occasionally derail when going down some of the steeper slopes. Kids can pilot the train by using an intuitive remote control, or can opt to move it around by hand. As the train traverses the track, it will make its way up a mountain, circle around loops and drive through a tunnel. There's also a working crane, where kids can load lumber and other cargo onto the cars.
Build a Railroading Network
The Timbertown Railway features interlocking track pieces that snap together easily. Although it has been built for easy assembly, the track will most likely require some adult assistance during setup. With the help of the included instructions, setup should take approximately 15 minutes. In all, the set requires six "AAA" batteries (not included) -- three for the steam engine and three for the remote control.
The Timber Railway has been designed with smaller children in mind, and older kids will quickly get bored with the railway's compact size and limited activities. However, it is an ideal starter railroad set for younger children, and will provide hours of imaginative play. The set is also compatible with the rest of the GeoTrax set -- buy them all to assemble the ultimate railroad play set.
What's in the Box
Easy Rail Station, elevated mountain with tunnel and working crane, remote control, steam engine, log cart, caboose, conductor action figure, lumber cargo, 15 pieces of track, and instructions.

From the Manufacturer
The GeoTrax Lead Train Set offers all the classic railroad play little boys love. They can become the engineers of their own imaginations with so much to do. Starting at the Easy-Rail Station, the special track area makes it so easy for them to get their RC train lined up on the tracks. Board the engineer figure into the front of the classic steam engine or on the back of the red caboose. Little boys can control the train two ways - push it along or control the action from afar with an easy-to-use RC controller. The controller features forward and reverse controls and train sound effects. Drive the train around the curve, up the hill and to the mountain. Pick up logs to keep the "wood-burning" engine going. Use the crane on top of the mountain to load it all up. The train can make its way down the winding hill and back to the Easy-Rail Station to drop off cargo and complete the trip. Set up the 15 pieces of durable, Snap-Lock track in so many ways for new adventures. It's the perfect 1st train set for the 2-year old engineer. And since GeoTrax is a system that all works together - add onto this set for even more fun.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2010I bought the Timbertown Railway for my 2 1/2 yr. old for Christmas. It was the first present he opened and we put it together within 5 minutes and he played with it for an hour. He loves everything about it, and so do we. It seems durable, fun, and easy enough for him to play with and manipulate on his own. He had 2 other Geotrax trains already, one with remote and one without and that definately added to the fun factor. If I could change anything, I would just add more figures to the box set as it only comes with one...the engineer for the train. Overall, was the biggest hit this Christmas.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2010This was a gift that my 4 yr. old son said he wanted. He already had the high flying airport. He received that when he was 3. Now that he's older it doesn't seem to hold his attention for very long because there is only so much you can do with it because it is a remote control toy. Very durable. I would recommend this toy for younger kids. Amazon shipped fast. We did parent friendly packaging. So nice for us at Christmas when there are lots of toys to assemble, but not presented like the store packages. He wasn't very excited when he opened it because there aren't any colorful pictures showing the toy.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2010Got this for my 3 year old for his birthday. He loves trains, thought this one would be great for him. He does have fun with it, but loses interest fairly quickly because even with fresh batteries, it doesn't go very fast. Doesn't need to be super fast, but a little faster would be nice.
It's durable though, he has driven it off the dining table onto wood floor on purpose a few times when Mom's not looking, and it's holding up well thank goodness. He does love the movie that came with it too, though I am a bit sick of the songs on it myself!
Over all, a decent toy, the tracks are easy to put together once you learn the formation. But I wouldn't buy for anyone over the age of 4 at most.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2010Durabile, fun, easy to assemble. What more can you ask from a train set for a toddler? My son loves to take apart and rebuild the track. We look forward to expanding his track sets at holidays/birthdays. I can't think of anything negative to say about this set. Even my husband who is very critical of toy craftsmanship hasn't had anything bad to say about it.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2010Our 2-1/2 year old loves trains, but is afraid of most anything that run with a remote control or makes too much noise, so when buying this I figured he'd just push it around the track. Luckily he absolutely LOVES this thing and loves all the noises and it being run with the controller. On a side note, it also is hours of fun for our two cats who are mesmerized by it going round and round.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2010I thought this one was going to be a hit! But, I was wrong. It is amazing what your children choose to love. We have other Geo Track sets and this went well with it. They like the bridges and additional train, but for some reason, it hasn't held their attention like the others. So, my 7 year old and 3 year old play with it together (fighting half the time). My 7 year old is the architect and the 3 year old the engineer. When the building and creating is done, and the train has done 2-3 laps something usually distracts them and the train is left running itself.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2011The remote broke after a couple weeks and now its a worthless piece of junk. My son was so disappointed. If it had worked it would have been a nice toy! Not worth $50!!! Dont buy this from Amazon.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2010Product is excellent, was a little disappointed that the Amazon Earth friendly packaging didn't show what the item was on the box, as it was a Christmas gift and to open a plain box isn't real exciting, but the price was fabulous and the train is very durable. My three year old has had many hours of fun already. Perfect gift for the younger train loving crowd.
