Lemax Christmas Village Sights & Sounds: The Starlight Express (04232)

My old version of this set conked out, wires were broken and it stopped running. This train set makes my mom so happy when I set it up with my village each year that I had to find another one, and this one was perfect, ran well, and saved my village. Seller sent very quickly too. Thank you.

Beautiful! Packaging was great!

Sadly so poorly made. We purchased a bunch of items excited to decorate for Christmas. Have to return them all. Broken and missing pieces, definitely can’t be passing these down as I had hoped

Bought after Christmas 2024. Substantial, nicely built & well packaged. Opened it & tested it. Worked nicely. Tracks are strong but hard/awkward to clip together and take apart. Used heavy rubber gloves to push the tabs together trying not to break them, (the outside edges of the tracks are pokey, as they should be.) :-). They may work better after some use, none of the tabs broke. Loved the detail. I just put it together as a circle & it goes pretty fast. Battery only in 2 of the cars, no electrical in the tracks, but you can use the on/off switch on the tracks to activate the "stop" switch under the engine. Very cute. Will enjoy next Christmas! Still have to see if there are additional tracks I can supplement with to expand the footprint.

I enjoyed it so much I kept running out of batteries, I had to buy rechargeable batteries. Good quality.

The set was almost perfect for the little ones. Its colorful and has an option to play music with sound affects. But the rotating Rudolf on the caboose is too heavy and causes it to easily tip over and derail. I ended up returning it because many of the engine pieces arrived broken.

Great train, makes wonderful sounds - Merry Christmas and all aboard with a lite on the engine. Perfect addition to the village. Price is icing on the cake!
