Crazy little jet engine
I'm giving this 5 stars relative to the other Thomas cars available because it is unique, fun and a little silly. Like other people mentioned, don't expect this to stay on the track. It doesn't. Only the best conditions will keep in on the track and I've found that mixing track brands is the least effective. But the fact that is zooms around the corner only to fall off is part of the fun. As the story goes, the jet engine unexpectedly ignites pushed Thomas at uncontrollable speeds that exceed even Gordon. The jet engine is definately faster than other trains and it's unexpected behavior lends itself for a different kind of fun than a typical battery engine. I will add that the wheels spin a little to freely going up hills causing it to get stuck sometimes. Lastly, I've had my son's jet engine for 6 months without any problem. Replaced the battery twice and it's still working. Overall, I would hesitate suggesting...

Lots of fun...
I wasn't going to buy this, based on reviews, but my son saw it in the store and really became attached to it, so I decided to give it a go at home. We've had no problems with it coming off the track. It doesn't go too fast. It's easy for my 2.5 y/o son to turn on and off himself and set working on the track. It handles the corners and hills and tunnels just fine. We have generic track, not the special Thomas one with the grooves that are supposed to hold the trains on better. It can also push the other non-battery-powered wooden trains along, so you can just buy the wooden ones and use the jet engine to convert them to battery powered. I would recommend this item. Enjoy!

The little Jet engine that could
I like that the jet engine is where the batteries go. This enables my son to play with the jet with the other engines instead of Thomas. The double wheels let it have a little more power do to make it up the incline with the wooden set of trains. The powered enines like Thomas and James can't pull many cars around and go up the hill. one draw back it that there is no magnet at the back so if you want to pull more than one car they have to be infront. Then you have to keep a watch and make sure the trains stay on the track.
