Review: Great Job Lionel on a Wonderful O Gauge Polar Express Train. I cannot think how you all could have made it better at the price you sell it at. Sounds like a real Train (Choo Choo sound), the bell, the whistle, the movie sounds, the smoke, the headlight, the cars that light up, etc., are all Terrific. For those who are wondering if the O scale is worth the extra money, YES! Our sons have the plastic (larger scale) which is perfect for them as they have small children that love to attack it. But the O Gauge is mostly metal like the other Lionel Trains and the Engine is heavy. And thank you desertcart for making the price a little more affordable. It's Perfect and we cannot be happier! Thank you!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: metal or plastic engine?**
A: Only the Engine is metal- the rest of the set, including the wheels, is plastic.

**Q: Will this product fit O-gauge tracks?**
A: It comes with the lionel fast-track.  You can run on o-gauge track.  You can buy transition track if you need to merge the two tracks.  This or any other TMCC style train requires power to be constantly "on"  throughout the track set.  And either the hand controller or bluetooth device controls the engine.   So you can not run a "conventional engine" with a tmcc or lionchief engine at the same time since the power is "constantly on" when using this engine control.  Make sense ?

**Q: Can you be used outdoors?**
A: Yes, as a matter of fact I can be used outdoors. I was actually outdoors just a moment ago.
This train, on the other hand, isn't made to be kept outdoors. You could set it up and use it outside for a while as long as the weather was nice, but it shouldn't be left outside. Since it isn't waterproof, or even water-resistant, any moisture would ruin the electronic components.
I'm nut sure if you were asking me or the train, so I answered for both to be safe. If you were asking the train, then what I'm about to say will probably disappoint you........The Polar Express by Lionel isn't capable of answering you. It is an electronic toy which isn't capable of hearing, thinking, or talking. Sorry to break it to you. I'll give you a moment while you let that sink in. Go ahead, take all the time you need.

**Q: What is the difference between this and the 5.0 Bluetooth set? They both have Bluetooth and the descriptions are the same**
A: Yes,  5.0 has more options including the ability to record your own messages to the train from your Bluetooth device. The 5.0 is also all electric with hand held control that requires 3 AAA Batts or a0ai mentioned the use of Bluetooth.
