“It boasts many great features including a 9V motor. Best of all, it has many minifigures and cars. There is a wide range of accessories too, including a radio and some pizza. If you don't like the set though, you can destroy it for it's wide range of blue pieces. The... More minifigures include a conductor, a banker, an X-Treme team member, and a couple other civilians. Plus, the set comes with a great 9V motor and a whole circle of train track. 5 out of 5.”

Lots of windows make this the perfect train for seeing the sights. You decide where it travels -- through the mountains, along the coast or in the city! Passengers can drive their car on board, then relax in the passenger car where they can watch movies, eat or just look at the great views. Plus you get storage containers for luggage, food, mail and valuables. This set comes with a 9-volt speed regulator, 16 curved, 2 straight tracks, two cars and a truck for total of 645 pieces and 9 minifigures, five rail workers and four passengers.
