does this train go by itself or do you push it? thanks

You have to push it around the track. If you push the button on the smoke stack, it makes train sounds or plays music

This is a manual train that must be pushed but I used it for a first train and my toddler loves it.

You put your fingers on the wheel and push up. It only moves in one direction. It won't go both ways.

The train track is held by a bracket that connects to the trunk of the tree. The track runs around the tree, you may have to adjust some of the branches so the train won't hit them. When you press the little button on top it starts making sounds "all aboard" and them it starts ridding around track.

I dont remember. The 2 trains I recieved never worked for me. So I do not own one.

The train we received works great. Its a toy train and you have to get the track set up correctly for it to work right. When you are setting up around a tree it is not the same as bolting the track onto a board as in a hobby room, so you have to work a little to get and keep everything connected. Great train though...I put my wife's engagement ring in one of the cars and asked her to watch the train. It took her about five loops to finally see the package...

Yes. You can push it and the wheels move. The coal and barrel move when you push it as well. If you do out a battery in it, it will connect to other train cars and push/pull them along as well. Our 4yo loves this :)

Even though this little engine is rather slow, it has been geared to pull a large load (for it's size). It has not problem pulling up to 10 train cars on a flat track, or even up and over an overpass (using the assending / descending track). My grandkids and I actually connected four assending tracks is series to go from the floor up and onto a couch. The train (by itself) had no problems.

Yes, this train runs on batteries, so you do not have to push it around the track. We got this from my sister a couple of years ago as a Christmas present because she works at Disney, but it was so cheap that we had to return it because pieces kept falling off of it. It did look very cute though and my boys cried when it kept falling apart. Hope that helps anybody who's looking into buying this product. I would not purchase this again.

Hi, I have not opened yet, as we got this for Christmas. But from my Model Railway experience I would say they would Not do that. Regards

It says it has sound effects and I can see the button on top of the first train so I think this is a battery powered train option also. Any thoughts on this??? We have another one I am trying to replace.

If you manually move the train is moving, but without inertia, that is not freely rolling after you release the steam engine, and by pressing the start button a smooth move, only the first day creaked badly now everything is fine. Generally train is great, kids love, especially to fill the locomotive, only fueling already lost. If you're buying and if resources permit, immediately take additional rail kit, or a large set.

No,you have hold it. The 3 speed Travelon can sfand on its own but it cost little more.

not as freely as the non-motorized trains...it is able to be pushed but I don't know if it's good for it..so we don't, hope that helps :) We love ours...we've had it nearly a year now and it's still going strong!

We had the same problem but assumed it was our problem. The instructions tell yo u to put the drops in before you start the train. I'm interested to hear if you find out that is a flaw. I would never return this train as grandson runs it two to three times a week, but would exchange engine. Let me know.

Yes, the motorized train can be pushed. My 3 year old grandson does that most of the time, as it can be difficult to turn off the engine with toggle switch. It goes forward and backwards, and "off" is in the middle. This is my grandson's FAVORITE toy. Hours and hours of fun.

You have to push the train. You also have to swivel the bridge back and forth. My 3 year old grandson loved playing with it.

The pedals do move on their own when you are pushing it. The child can put their foot on the pedals and they will stop turning and make a ratcheting sound when their foot is against it. That way their feet don't get wrapped up in the pedals.
