Thomas the Tank Mini Motorized Set

Got this for my son for Xmas and after playing with it for a few times, it started making this horrible clicking sound. He can only play with it a for a few minutes before one of us would turn it off due to the disturbing loud clicking sound. The trains would also get stuck sometimes which frustrates my little guy. Would've been a great toy and my son loved it, but only when it doesn't make that horrible clicking sound!

Our son got this for Christmas and it has completely stopped working already. We were replacing batteries nonstop and then it eventually never came back on. I wouldn’t recommend spending the money on this. We are very disappointed and after reading similar reviews see it’s a common issue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for about 5 minutes , eats up batteries like crazy, trains get stuck at spots, very frustrating for my 4 year old

I purchased this item for my son for Christmas and boy do I regret it he loves it and keeps him entertained for the most part but verry frustrating for him and my self the belt that lifts the trains up makes an extremely loud clicking noise at first it didnt do it that often and not it's like it never ends it's like it clicks more than it works correctly not to mention that when I purchased it it was missing the small part that connects the yellow track so I had to then go and purchase spare parts so that it would be complete

My 3 yr old ASD son got this for Christmas from one of my friends this year. He absolutely loves it and will watch it go for as long as I can handle it. For him it's a great toy, for me it's a pain. From the first time I turned it on, the lift belt clicked very loudly and didn't lift the trains. I have to gently help the belt get moving when this happens, which is very VERY often. At first it was only once every 10 minutes or so, but now it will sometimes be as often as every 30 seconds or so. It's as if there is poor gear mesh inside and the gears are slipping. Considering this is the main part of the toy, this is more than a little frustrating. Other minor issues are that it eats batteries like crazy. The track selector part at the top is very stiff and my son can't operate it. You have to make sure the selector is in the perfect spot or the trains wont go down the chute and will cause a back up, which starts the gears slipping again. The trains will jam up on the bottom when you have more than a couple on it at once. These issues wouldnt bother me at all if the motorized part worked correctly.
