I bought the J-1 train set for my son who LOVES trains and as such, he has dozens of toys that are of course... Trains. He is 5 and autism and he finds this set particularly interesting. This is not just another toy train, you can turn it on and set up within 5 minutes but the fun hardly starts until you play with the colored tiles, each of which triggers something to happen. There are so many configurations and more than enough to keep kids thinking. Very good for the senses and if you don't want to play with the tiles at all, go ahead and download the App to control even more.All in all it is possible to control the train's speed, stop, reverse, color of the train LED lights, sounf effects and more.Pros-Easy to set up and use.Numerous configurations.Applies to a very large age group.Helps to learn pattern recognition.Cons-I really don't have one bad thing.

We bought an Intellino train for our train-loving kid for their 10th birthday. This is a kid who has loved trains with an intense passion since they were around 2 or 3 years old, so we've accrued quite a few train sets over the years. They also love building, coding and STEAM activities so when I stumbled over this train it seemed a perfect fit. So we got the train and grandparents chipped in with the accessories. It was a hit. They loved coding the track, and adored the fact that adapters allowed use with standard wooden track railways as well. The app was a nice bonus, but only worked on one device, so that limited the capability. So, nine months later, I happened to go on Intelino's website..... Wow! There are lesson plans and activities to correlate with the train. It uses a downloadable Scratch program that then walked my kid through all sorta of coding information. Scratch can link into Artie the drawing robot (which we also have) and other Stem toys as well. My kid can now code and coordinate not just the train, but multiple devices. They spend hours now working with Scratch and the train. Highly recommend this toy for both train affectionados and robot/ coding nuts. It's capacities are huge!

This little train became a fast favorite on Christmas morning with both my 5- and 9-year old, as well as their similarly aged neighbors. The train was a gift for my 5-year old, and I purchased it as part of a BF/CM lightning deal so I did not pay full price. It is very well designed and definitely captivates any child who already has an affinity for (a) trains, (b) puzzles/coding, (c) motorized toys, or all three! I wouldn't recommend this toy for anyone much younger than a 5-yead old as the little color coded chips could end up all over the place, in a mouth, and I could see an aggressive 3-year old breaking a track piece or damaging the train (especially if they're a thrower like mine was at that stage). I have already ordered the extension pack ahead if their birthday. I have not tried to combine it with wooden rails, but I can see the train is the right size. I saw there is even an adapter piece (sold separately, of course) so you can connect the plastic rails that come with the Intelino with the more prevalent Thomas/Chuggington/Ikea wood tracks. I am very happy with this purchase and recommend it as a gift for any little one who loves trains!

I have mixed feelings about this train set. For starters, it's more of a laboratory for teaching kids to program. The kids get to see a train move, and react, according to the instructions they provide to it. This is a great idea but honestly, it could've easily been so much more! Let us discuss.The track fits together easily although with the base kit there isn't much of it. I suggest buying the track extension pack when you order this set. Also note, you get one locomotive and one carriage. That's not a very exciting amount of rolling stock! Annoyingly, if you want to buy more trains, you are effectively obliged to buy a complete set. Of course this also means the trains look identical (beyond customization with stickers). It would've been fantastic if they offered a variety of locomotive and carriages for separate purchase. I don't think the manufacturers really thought this through...Control. You can general control instructions by creating graphical sketches on your phone. The sketch programming reminds me of similar tools I've seen for robotic cars. You can also signal the locomotive with colored squares you place along the track.Overall the control mechanism is decent, but not exciting. Again, I feel the manufacturer has missed many opportunities to create a truly iconic, fun and educational toy. I might end up 3D printing some new carriages and possibly even some of my own trains - just wish the manufacturer offered more variety!Size. The trains themselves are tiny and unremarkable. I somehow picture a train that was at least six inches long, but in reality I think the locomotive is maybe three inches at most. See picture.Personal thoughts. The idea behind this train set is brilliant. However the average kid would get more fun, and hence learn more, from a robotic car (costing about the same). Plus, the car would not required track.

This is my new favourite programming toy! After seeing it modelled online and at the Bett Show, it was a must-purchase situation! It appeals to all ages and I have used it with my 4 year old Reception children up to my Year 6 Digital leaders. I love the multiple ways you can program the train, from the physical tiles, to the app and by using Scratch. It is multi-functional and exciting for big and little people! Love that it is also compatible with wooden sets although it struggles with wooden bridges as the angle can be quite steep. Looking to buy more accessories now to expand the set and explore more of the coding challenges within the app.

I got this $50 cheaper off amazon than priced at best buy. Great little toy for those train enthusiasts. Unlike most train toys with batteries, you don't just make a circle track and watch it go around and around. This one uses coding and your smart phone to operate. Very interactive!
