Most of the time the tree and the train are behind a baby fence, and that would mean the kids would loose access to speed controls etc if not for the very nice remote control (that also has done much better than my TV remote at surviving drops so far from the kids). So that's also a very nice feature that lets the kids take turns ringing the bell, blowing the whistle, reversing at fullspeed, etc! (and this train absolutely has yet to derail on its own after a full month of this torture fest).
If i had to complain about anything, it would be the lack of lighting in the caboose. The more I looked, the more it bothers me. the caboose is already painted up for lighting to prevent bleeding light, and it already has a clear dome in the top for an LED. The only thing missing is an LED (which is like $0.05 in a mass produced toy like this), some wire and a roller pickup -- which sure would be a few dollars more a unit, but if this became $5 more and had a light up caboose it would be a far better deal, IMO.
If you don't care about the no lights in the caboose, then this is awesome. light up cabooses from Lionel & other O gauge manufacturers are like $10 or $20 bucks or less used all over flea markets across the globe, or $40 or $50 new here on amazon. LED kits are like $10 if you want to add some watch battery powered LEDS with a switch, or maybe a few bucks more or less to do it proper with a roller pickup truck from a donor caboose...
This Engine & Tender set is built very well. I expect it will last as long as my grandfather's lionel (which is still around my fathers tree) if used only once a year. The cars are cheap, but you're basically getting a $199 (on Lionels website at time of writing) engine/tender/remote set with track + 3 cars for however much over $199.99 this is when you buy it. For me that was $40. Very good deal. When you buy other lionel cars, they will likely be heavier with sprung trucks on them, or maybe be mainly diecast metal! Be sure to put heavier cars like that in the front of the train.
My kids are really enjoying it, so I might just let them consume this one via play in and over the next few years. I wasn't expecting them to care or even really notice it after day one at their age but its become the first thing the kids, my daughter in particular, want to see or interact with when they come into the living room. Every day, for the past two weeks.

I was super happy when I took the locomotive out of the box. Mainly because it was nice and heavy and felt like mostly metal.
I was really happy with the detail of the rest of the trains, and the general quality and detail of the set.
The Bluetooth works flawlessly on my iphone and I am really pleased with how easy it was to set up out of the box and fun.
Would recommend to first time novice model train owners like myself.
The tracks don't go together super easily. My son definitely needs help with that. They can be downright stubborn and hard to push together even for an adult! My husband and I had to tag team! We bought additional track to expand his layout and I'm glad we did even though it's a bit pricey.
The bluetooth app is pretty buggy. It's easy to set up but hard to maintain a consistent connection via bluetooth. My son lost interest in using the app pretty quickly.
If you're not using smoke drops you have to have the smoke feature switched off. It's hard to remember to switch that off or top it off when the smoke runs out and I'm worried it will damage the engine if we forget. I could do without the smoke feature personally, but I do like that you can use it with or without, and the smoke does work well.
All in all I am very happy with this train set and feel like we got what we paid for. My son has been in train heaven! Thanks for making his Christmas, Lionel! Santa gets major points for this purchase. And yes, I purchased it for full price and didn't get it for free or at a discount for writing a review. Hope this helps somebody else!
