Our take on the Hape Rolling-Stock Wooden Train Set, Battery Operated

A wooden train set from Hape with a battery-driven blue engine and two animated cars. The engine has a forward/reverse/off switch and a headlight that glows while it runs. One car's cargo bounces up and down and the other car's pumps spin as the train moves. It suits young children who want motion and lights without a complex track, and it connects magnetically to most other wooden rail toys.
