If your child loves Thomas & Friends, then this Lionel Trains Thomas & Friends Diesel Locomotive with LionChief Remote System is an absolute must. Remote controls are color coordinated so you can control one specific engine at a time, making it move forward, backward, at different speeds and announce your presence with whistles, bells and pre-programmed messages. The tracks are designed so you can run more than one Thomas & Friends locomotive at a time, creating hours of fun for your little one and their friends as they race around the track. LionChief locomotives are designed to work on any track powered by a conventional transformer at a constant 18 volts, so the track options are very broad. Staying in character, moving his eyes from side to side, the diesel locomotive checks out the road ahead. Three removable faces let your child play with the expressions and add more drama to train time. Designed for use on Lionel Trains traditional O gauge tracks. Recommended for 8 years and up.
