33971 Smart Tech Sound Record & Play Engine - Interactive Wooden Toy Train for Kids | Perfect for Age 3 and Up | Enhances Motor Skills

We bought the brio smart tech set last year for Christmas and the train is starting to get tired. It’s great that there is a replacement train. My son loves this train and the full set is awesome!

We initially loved this train which was purchased for my two year old grandson. After a few months of play the train stopped working properly. It operates on the tracks as normal but stops at each and every interactive item such as tunnels and arches. It does not make sounds anymore or record sound. This item was very expensive and we expected many more years of play from a company such as Brio. I am very disappointed in this item. Now we have a handful of interactive train accessories that do not operate as intended. Waste of money.

My grandson has been enjoying hours with the toys (and so has his parents!) Bought another Smart Tech piece. Unfortunately the motor on that one was broken. Returning item now but had to ship to England so still waiting to get credit for that. We had to pay the shipping and will get back about 75% of the cost.

We’ve had this train for about a year now and my four and five year olds (a boy and a girl) both love it. There are mixed reviews out there because people don’t read the instructions. Download the app and update the train first to load the sounds and movements on it. Then - voilá it works great with all the smart tech pieces. My kids love driving it through the app. You can change the headlight color and record your own sounds. Granted, they like to record fart noises and just say butt over and over on it but still it’s very much enjoyed. Be sure to hold the button down to power on and off. It’s not a quick press. If it isn’t functioning properly consider the batteries. The headlights turn red when they’re low. The engine could be a little stronger but it can pull three or four cars up an incline which is plenty for my kids. It stays on course fairly well too despite three or four different brands of track we use. Definitely a fun buy that has kept their interest longer than I thought. They get bored of playing trains but keep playing because they think recording the sounds is so funny.

Bought because it’s the only train that’s compatible with the repair station my son got as a gift. It’s very high tech and you have to download an app to turn it on and use the first time. You can customize the color of the lights and record your voice on it, but I could never get it to interact to the station we bought it for. It’s very high tech, but for my 4 year old’s purposes, he plays with it the same way as his other battery operated trains. Definitely expensive for what it is.

The train is cute and works well with app, but it has never registered the tunnel that came with it, so the sound doesn’t play when the train runs through it. Not sure what the issue is, but it was disappointing, especially considering the high price for this item. We previously purchased another sound tunnel in a different set and the train registers that one so I supposed we just got a broken one in this set. After reading some reviews, this seems to be a common occurrence.

First we bought the brio haunted train station which was NOT cheap, only to find that the smart train that makes it work is sold separately which is crazy! So then we bought this (again, very expensive) and it worked for maybe 5 minutes (though not with the haunted station) and then stopped working. Completely not worth it. Wish I had paid attention to the reviews. Total waste of money and my son is bummed out and keeps asking if I can fix it.
