Frequently Asked Questions

The locomotive runs on 2 x AA batteries, which are not included in the box. No batteries are required for the track pieces or carriages - just pop the AAs into the engine and the set is ready to go.
The 24 curved track pieces form a single oval measuring approximately 165 cm x 104 cm (65 x 41 inches), so a clear area of around 1.8 m x 1.2 m is comfortable for running the train. The track snaps together without tools and can be packed away between sessions.
The 711981 is a mini-scale battery-operated set with its own proprietary snap-together track, so it is not directly compatible with Lionel O-gauge or G-gauge track systems. It is a self-contained ready-to-play set rather than an expansion for an existing layout.
