Amazon.com Product Description
Complete with a fast, remote-controlled train, an exciting main terminal building, train tracks, and passengers, the Fisher Price GeoTrax Rail and Road System Grand Central Station provides hours of creative fun for children ages 2-1/2 and up. It is a part of Fisher Price's line of GeoTrax toys.

A Train Powered by Imagination! By using the remote control, your child can make Aero the Engine speed along the track and pull into Central Station, with his driver, Eric, right inside! Send the passengers up and down the station's elevator, or put them on the train for an exciting ride. Load up the train with cargo using the crane. Thanks to the power of your child's imagination, the possibilities are endless.

Durable and Easy to Use The toy is constructed from durable plastic and features large pieces perfect for little hands. The big, easy-to-use remote control makes the train go backward or forward and has a range of about 12 feet. It includes an automatic shut-off feature to preserve battery life. The sturdy train track snaps together easily in a variety of configurations, and the whole set can be used with other GeoTrax accessories. Adult assembly is required; you will need a Phillips screwdriver. The remote control and train engine require three AAA batteries apiece.

What's in the Box
Grand Central Station, Aero the engine, and 2 train cars, an articulated Eric figure, and 2 articulated passenger figures, cargo piece, remote control, and 14 pieces of Snap-Lock Track.

Make the Aero the Engine speed along the track with the remote control.

The GeoTrax comes complete with buildings, train tracks, and passengers.

Product Description
The Grand Central Terminal offers the same classic GeoTrax play that kids love, now with the addition of articulated figures. There's so much to explore in the main terminal building, which is the central hub of all the action. There is an information area with a destination board, food and vending stations and an elevator with mechanical action. Drop cargo through to the lower level, or make your way to the train yard. Two platform areas -- one for passengers and one for cargo -- connect to the upper level by an escalator and conveyer belt. On the cargo platform, kids can lift and load cargo with the crane.

Playset comes with a sleek, fast-moving R/C passenger train named Sonic, featuring two attached passenger cars, fun sounds and forward/reverse action. Also includes three figures: Sam, the conductor, and two passengers. All figures fit into the vehicles for a complete play experience. Comes with play cargo pieces and 14 pieces of Snap-Lock track for multiple configurations. Requires 6 "AAA" batteries, not included. Measures 43"L x 36"W x 11"H.

Fun, but bulky January 6, 2009
C. Green (Oregon, USA)
This is a great train set. My kids love to play with it. Had we known it was so large, we may have reconsidered the purchase. Setting up is time consuming, so to make it worth it, you almost have to keep it put together. If you have a play/rec room where this could be put together and kept out, this is a great toy for your kids. If your home is small, like ours, it's not practical. Finding room in our home has been a challenge. This train set is durable and of quality craftmanship. Our 19 month old can play with it too and we don't worry about small pieces or fear her breaking it.

GeoTrax Train January 6, 2009
Ricki Lynn (Oklahoma, USA)
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my 2 and a half year old grandson who loves trains. He has played with it for hours and my daughter tells me it's his favorite toy. It's easy to operate requiring only minimal adult assistance. Sometimes the track will separate or if he puts the train on the track going the wrong direction the train will derail. However, its simple to get it all going again. This train is great for ages 2-4. It might be too simple for a child older than that. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a toddler who loves trains.

great for kids January 6, 2009
Nicole Lavigne (gardiner, maine United States)
I bought this for my almost 3 year old son and he loves playing with the people and pretending with the trains. He does need help with assembling the track, but once its together, he will play for hours.

Great Fun even for Adults January 5, 2009
Chever (Salt Lake, Utah)
My three year old son got this station set from an aunt for Christmas 2008 and it has been the best toy so far. Being a model railroader myself, I found myself just a bit envious once I put it together and watched my son play with it. I loved the control of the engine so much I've bought two more engines and a additional track set for some expansion so I can play with my son as well.

The Pros:

Each different looking engine has it's own controller and run independantly of each other, making adding additional engine sets easy if you have more kids that want to control the train.

Track is durable, easy to link together and setup.

Setup of the station was easy, stickers were already applied and one step in the instructions was already done.

You can buy additional/replacement Geotrax parts and single peices of track through the Mattel Parts Shopping website(Fisher-Price must be affiliated with them).

The Cons:

The engine will eat the three AAA batteries fast so have lots on hand or rechargables.

The engine's top speed will be a bit slow for older children but is really perfect for younger ones, especially if you add another train or two.

The two paraell switch tracks are only to be found in this set(cannot even buy additionals from the Mattel website), and only as a righthand turnout, no left one is avalible. So if you are designing a layout with more of these you will need to buy another Grand Central Station set. It would be nice to offer these on their website or in a track set. You can buy the full curved turnouts in sets or online however.

While on track, this set could of benifited from a few more peices, particularly straight sections to make the sidings a bit longer for the two optional layouts it diagrams in the instructions. Since the rail track pack is generally not that expensive, throwing one in would not of raised the price of this set all that much and elevated this set from a great toy to phenominal, as the track pack includes trees and signs to add to the layout.

All in all this is a great set and if you are a model train enthusiast, you may likely find yourself playing with this set too!

Lots of fun, overpriced on Amazon January 3, 2009
Aaron M. Weis (Raleigh, NC)
My son (2.5yrs)loves it and we recently added the GeoAir tracks. The set can be found for half the price (~$50) at Target or ToysRUs.

Not sure why but Amazon has jacked up some of their toy prices since the holidays. Very disappointing.
