Title: Still running 6-7 years later!
Review: Bought this for my first child back in '03 or '04. Also was used by 2nd, then packed away for at least 2-3 years. Got pulled out because my third "surprise we're still fertile despite birth control" child recently turned two and is just getting into the whole "Thomas" thing. I dumped the "rocket engine" out of the box of forgotten Thomas stuff certain it would not work at all, pressed the button and the thing started pushing Thomas around the track just like it was 2003 or '04.Others have said theirs broke in days (or hours!) don't know if the older "build" is better or I just got lucky. But I was pretty surprised. Says a lot for the old Duracell batteries that were inside as well. Yes it does go fast on the track, but use old worn batteries and that slows it some. You'll also probably need to help it up hills, but then Thomas is supposed to be interactive. Also, not creating super tight turns will help decrease derailments.
