From the desk of the product designer:
Behind the design
“During the final phases of testing, we wanted to make sure the train could bear the weight of small cargo. Instead of adding whatever we could find around the office into the cars, one of our designers thought of moving the train to a kitchen table and putting a dish of butter in one of the cargo cars for easy butter delivery during holiday meals!”

The grands loved this train! It is a lot bigger than I thought it would have been. Worth the price and gave many hours of fun for my grandsons.

My 9 year old grandsons loves train and really enjoyed building this, although it didn't run too well, he said. I really enjoy giving these gifts to my grandsons. They truly enjoy and look forward to them.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my grandaughter who just turned 8. This is an amazing crate. Its a bit complex to assemble but with Papa's help it went together like it should. Absolutely one of the best crates we've seen which is saying something since my grandaughter has been getting these crates for several years and loves everyone.
