BRIO World Mighty Golden Action Locomotive

My grandson really enjoys his well designed Brio train set that we routinely add components to as gifts. This gold colored engine is especially nice because it is powerful with two batteries and beautiful. Replacing the batteries is relatively easy with a small Philips head screwdriver. The only downside to this and other Brio train sets and components is that they are overpriced. Since the pandemic Brio has engaged in price gouging. However they are high quality.

I ordered like the whole kit n caboodle on the original train set w bridges n wooden tracks. Which come w push type engines. In addition I purchased several battery motorized engines. This one is far better than any of them. I believe cause it has a turning axle on the end of it which u can hook up several other cars and it can manipulate the track curves better. It’s the ONLY one that does not fall off. Look for engines with the turning axle support. Trust me, I put well into over $300 bucks and many hours on the floor w my grandson with this. He loves it, when it works! He wants it on all the time. Even if he is doing something else he will come back n makes sure it’s running accordingly. I hope this is something he will cherish n pass on to his kids someday.

So much fun. My grandchildren play with their Fathers old brio train set but this locomotive is a serious upgrade. Worth every penny!!

Great toy.

The hit of Christmas for our 2-year old grandson. This one is fast, powerful and has great sounds both in forward and reverse. Highly recommended.

Great, powers off when unable to move. Powerful pulling and lots of fun.

Kids and I have been building ever larger wooden tracks and I thought it would be cool to get a powered train moving on them instead of the hand-pushed ones. This looked like a solid option, especially with the pivoting towing piece. I was wrong. There are several serious design issues. Opening the battery compartment is a pain. You need to have a thin and long screw driver to reach the screw through the train's chimney, remove the chimney then assemble it again. I could live with that. However, the train's motion started becoming very jerky after 2 play sessions. I checked if there were any gunk in the axles but there wasn't. Next step was to open the motor compartment. They used non-standard triangular security screws so no screw driver fits. After fiddling with them, I finally opened the motor compartment. The gear assembly is extremely shoddy with gears loosely moving about. The jerky motion was because some gears would disengage and then re-engage in each rotation. No fix was possible. We tried living with the jerky movement but it seemed to have seriously compromised the pulling power and the train had issues going up shallow slopes. This quality level is unacceptable at this price. We ended up getting a battery train from Ikea at a fraction of the price and with much better build quality. Avoid this Brio train.

Excellent quality. A bit of a design flaw: the train is a bit too long, having six wheels instead of four. Whenever it turns the corner of the Brio tracks, it tends to go off the tracks.

Preciosas. Caras pero muy buenas. Brio es muy buena marca.

Super tolle Lok ist sehr gute gebaut und hat ordentlich power! Sehr stabile Fahrt sowie schöne Form. Was manche schreiben das sie ständig entgleist kann ich überhaupt nicht verstehen! Da man ja die Gleise auf einer Stabilen Unterlage oder Tischplatte aufgebaut hat und der zur somit nicht wie auf einen weichen Teppich entgleist überhaupt könnte! Der Schraube sitzt am Schornstein und ist mit einen dünnen Schraubendreher Schlitz oder auch Kreuz zu öffnen dann können Batterien 1,5V als auch Akkus 1,2V betrieben werden. Wir verwenden Akkus der Umwelt zu liebe und die Lok fährt trotzdem sehr kraftvoll.

Little one loves it and I do too. I didn't read much about it before purchasing and I was happy to see this can also be played by pushing around as little one often likes to play like that. I was worried it would break it - and let's be honest, it is a bit expensive. So my worry was that wouldn't last long. Battery power is good as son is playing solidly since Christmas and we changed batteries once. Sturdy, looks nice, the gold really stands out, pulls out lots of trains, the noise is not annoying and it stops after a while. Brilliant. Just a shame I paid 32 pounds and it is now £27. But totally worth it.

Ons zoontje is er heel blij mee.

My grandson loved it. A tad tricky putting the batteries in, but with the right tools. All good. I will be expanding his brio collection.
