Kurt Adler North Pole Express Train with Musical C2064N Multicolor Design Review

I had one that I bought at a department store when my kids were little. I loved pulling it out every Christmas to watch it roll and flip and flip. It broke a few years ago. I think I loved it more than my kids because they've all grown up and moved and when I found it at Revain last month I bought another one! LAUGH OUT LOUD

So I bought one of these for me and my mom. We had one as a kid and hers broke. I wanted to show it to my kids. Very cheap parts. Bad design. I don't think they've changed the design since the 90's, the front of the train where the batteries go doesn't close all the way and the screw falls out. So it works for nostalgic purposes, but it won't last through my children's childhoods. :( at least it's cheap.

I had one as a kid and it was a good Christmas memory. I was so excited to get it for my kids. The packaging is great!

I turned it on while he was playing with other toys, but he couldn't take his eyes off him. Neither do I, by the way! It turns out to be a little mesmerizing, which is what I was hoping for! It requires adult…

Even though I'm 74 years old, I'm still happy when my wife puts my Kurt Adler North Pole Express under our Christmas tree. I originally bought my train over 10 years ago and was more than happy to discover that I can purchase additional trains online. I bought four more trains for Christmas. I will be keeping three trains for myself to give away at Christmas for years to come. This Christmas, however, I sent one to my 52-year-old nephew. I promised him many hours of fun playing with the North…

Not sure if that helps but my whole extended family loves this train. When I was a kid, my grandma bought one of these trains and put it on the children's table. We loved watching the Tippy train go down the tracks at Christmas dinner. Even when I was in my early twenties, seeing the Tippy Train was a big thing for my cousins and sisters. It has become a family tradition and oddly enough this train has become a family heirloom. My grandmother is now in a nursing home (they don't help her…
