It works well and you can take that as the truth from a very happy four year old. Trains are very big right now and Thomas and Friends are everywhere from books to T.V. It seems to be made well and moves along the track with the help of the batteries which cannot be removed by a child. It takes a screwdriver to open the train's little space for batteries. This is a good idea because a certain little brother might get a loose battery into his mouth if they were accessable. So it seems to be a great toy. We played with it on the floor without a track too. On the floor it goes pretty fast. But of course the track is best. It was a good addition to his train collection. Review: Well Made, Cheerful Bright Red James - James' splendid bright red paintwork makes him a flashy addition to the stable of engines that my granddaughter is collecting. James is a well-made addition of the line of Thomas & Friends engine. He chugs along sturdily on his battery-operated motor, and his bright red paint really makes him stand out in the train barn. James, and the other engines, get so much play time that we decided to invest in rechargeable batteries and a charger. Now the trains can be kept running all the time> Fisher Price toys are always well made and offer great play value, and this train is no exception. ## Features - Assortment of TrackMaster motorized toy trains - Great addition to your TrackMaster collection - Motorized train play is compatible with most TrackMaster track and train sets (sold separately) - Collect all your favorite Thomas & Friends characters to expand your motorized railway (sold separately) - Each train requires 2 AAA batteries ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IWOGE3S | | Age Range Description | 3 years and up | | Are Batteries Required | Yes | | Batteries are Included | No | | Battery Description | 2 AAA batteries | | Best Sellers Rank | #174,683 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #313 in Kids' Play Trains & Trams | | Brand Name | Mattel | | Color | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 6,571 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Promote imaginative play, motor skill development, understanding of cause and effect, and basic education about vehicles. | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00746775384487, 30746775384488 | | Included Components | toy | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 1.97 x 10 x 5.98 inches | | Item Type Name | Toy | | Item Weight | 170 Grams | | Manufacturer | Fisher-Price | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 78.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 36.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | BML08 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Material Type | PP | | Model Name | Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends TrackMaster, Motorized James Engine | | Model Number | BML08 | | Number of Batteries | 2 AAA batteries required. | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operation Mode | automatic | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Set Name | Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go!

My son absolutely love all of his motorized trains. They stay on the tracks well as long as he does not lean on or bump the track to much. The train can even jump the track with the tender attached. They really make for lots of fun. We pulled out his tracks for his birthday party and the trains were a hit and the batteries last for a very long time. He even leave them running and they still last. I 100% suggest this toys for 3yo and up! You also have to be mindful of kids with longer hair and the wheels it will get stuck in their hair! ## Frequently Bought Together - Thomas & Friends Motorized Toy Train James Battery-Powered Engine with Coal Car for Preschool Pretend Play Kids Ages 3+ Years - Thomas & Friends Motorized Toy Trains - Thomas & Friends Motorized Toy Train, Emily --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4872406-thomas-and-friends-motorized-toy-train-james-battery-powered-engine](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4872406-thomas-and-friends-motorized-toy-train-james-battery-powered-engine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
