.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 ain, 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.
