Although my sons favourite Thomas character he was heart broken when james stopped working within a few days, this was due to the wiring between james and his coal truck snapping therefore james has to be manually moved now. for the price they charge for the engines i have found a fair few to be of poor value, ive had 3 toby engines, each one the battery connectors dont work, 2 bertie buses on both the tiny switches have snapped off and the same with a few others. considering how much parents pay i really feel we are now being ripped off with shoddy toys, and just paying for the "Thomas" brand

Although this is a good looking engine, the battery is housed in the coal truck, and there are wires joining the coal truck to the engine. These wires soon broke with the normal play of my 3 year old, so now James can't be battery driven. We had the same problem with Henry. Now I always look for trains with the battery in the engine itself, such as Thomas or Diesel.
