Overview

Not a push-along locomotive, this BRIO engine takes commands from an infrared remote with a throttle for speed and reverse. Buttons on the controller and on top of the engine trigger lights and train sounds.

A child gets control over speed and direction, while the magnetic coupling joins the engine to other trains. The listing says batteries are needed without saying they come in the box, and track is a separate purchase.

Who it's for

A child with an existing wooden layout can add the engine and run it from the remote. Beginners with no track should buy a starter set instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Remote with throttle and reverse
  • Lights and sound effects
  • Engine buttons as a backup
  • Magnetic coupling for other trains
Cons
  • Batteries needed, inclusion unclear
  • No track included
  • Small parts, choking hazard warning
  • Two small batteries to replace

Performance notes

The infrared remote sends speed and direction commands to the engine, so it needs a clear line of sight. Two forward speeds and reverse change the pace on the track, and the top buttons still drive it when the remote is out of reach.
