Are the trains electric?

No, regular push trains like the classic Thomas the Tank Engine trains. We play with both on the table and track.

Yes, it's motorized by battery power and it moves along the track (plastic) on it's own power. A great train set for the young beginner.

The cars and tracks are modular so yes. The only thing is the engine has limited power.

Yes trains are plastic. Picture does depict the numbers as they are. I love my set. Nice and compact.

to some extent, yes. the battery operated thomas trains tend to fall off the bridge and ramps but the non-battery operated trains can glide along fine in my experience

Yes, they are electric and come with sending units. You need to supply the wires.

I was very unhappy with this battery train. I just purchased an electric train.

Yes, electric, they have sending units for the oil & temp. Bought a set of these for my 68 mustang. They work OK, but are a little dim at night. Justin

Yes, for the powered train sets that operate on plastic track. The layout would not be large, but it would work.

No, they're plastic except for the parts that matter - axles, gears, etc. With care and minor maintenance (cleaning, occasionally lightly oiled, kept dry, fresh batteries) they should last a long time. The electronics are compact and durable as is the whole set. I'm not sure what you mean by "fast", but speeds are reasonable, variable and realistic. Sound matches movement. Because the loco uses internal batteries, the wheels don't need to be metal. I operate mine on powered metal track that also supports the more standard electric trains. For that reason I'm glad the wheels aren't metal (making a short circuit). Hope this helps. Len.

This particular train set is motorized/battery powered...no manual pushing. It is very cool but a lot bigger in size than I anticipated. My four year old was able to troubleshoot the on/off switch button just fine as well. All in all we were pleased with this product!

I don't think they'll be compatible since these tracks are HO scale and Power Trains are normally N scale. Thanks

Lego discontinued the 9v series in 2007. The 9v system used electrified rails. For reasons of simplicity, cost, and safety, Lego opted for battery operated infrared remote control. The track is the same gauge as 9v; it just doesn't have the metal on top. New trains can run on 9v track (not drawing power, of course), but not vice versa. Click through my name and you will find I have a long guide to Lego trains with more detailed information.

no other train cars, but you can purchase separate ones that work with track, pretty sure all of them have the smart technology when they hit that certain part in the track, but the other vehicles don't move on their own, they do make noise and have to be pushed

The trains are not solid colors. They are yellow, purple and green and other various colors because they have stickers on them. Our trains look very different from the ones in the photo. They are more yellowish and purplish.

Yes, we also have the number train. Thomas trains also run on this track, as well as some of the cars and wagons, and the couplings are also all compatible.

Has a transformer that plugs into wall current and runs through track at lower voltage. Harmless current because current is reduced. I've had a Lionel train sonce 5 years old. 52 years ago.
