### ⭐ Review
*by B***E on 1 January 2020*

Absolute garbage....returned it once and the second set just as crap. The track is useless..no conductivity and the rails dont align straight. And the train just doesnt want to stay on any track...always de rails...very disappointed as my son is obsessed with the polar express and it's not much fun for him when it constantly breaks.
