Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway, Percy - Battery Operated

This is my grandson's favorite thomas & friends train. It can pull all of the other thomas wooden trains. It's very sturdy and well made. It uses 1 aa battery which we have to change every couple of days because he loves to see it run around the track all day, even when he's not playing with the train set! sometimes he lets it run on the floor, and we find it under the couch, under the bed or up against a wall with the wheels still spinning, but it's ok i bought a 10 pack of batteries.

Little engineers will love watching percy travel around curves, through tunnels & over hills and bridges. This quality die-cast percy engine features an easy on/off button. Percy can connect to other wooden railway engines and vehicles with magnet connectors. Perfect for thomas & friends wooden railway train sets!  requires 1 aa battery (not included).

Fisher-price Thomas Train Wooden Railway Battery-operated Percy (Fisher Price) FAQ.

Our toddler has this percy and thomas battery operated train which pulls non-battery operated railroad cars along the track. It is amazing how many railroad cars this train can pull. It can pull about 10 trains. What's really amazing is that our toddler is pretty rough with these trains and it keeps chugging along! the train works on the standard wooden track. The train runs on 1 aa battery which is easy to install, you just unscrew 1 screw and you're good to go. I would recommend using a rechargeble battery because if your toddler is like mine, he doesn't always remember to turn it off! -Notice from L. Jacqueline, Ontario

This guys is awesome. He can pull many cars and goes up hills and around corners just fine. He doesn't get suck on uneven tracks either, like some said. He is heavy and well built. Not hard to change battery. Very happy with purchase! . I would advise you adhere to the recomended age of 3+ because the wheels will get stuck in hair when they're too young to know better. This is super fun! . Picture is of him pulling many cars up a double incline, like a champ!

- X. GuestThis was one of our son's favorite christmas gifts this year! he's 2 years old and loves the thomas the train characters-especially percy, thomas and james. This little percy engine is a great addition to our melissa and doug wooden train set. It's easy for our 2 year old to turn it on and off. This percy engine is much more powerful than we imagined, and he can pull (and push) quite a few other cars. We have had so much fun with the addition of three battery operated engines to our wooden railway layout. Percy is one of the strongest engines and can get around tracks well because he only has 4 wheels (the others have 6. ) the battery lasts for a week or two, and it has been running quite a bit. We are so happy that we purchased this as a christmas gift because the whole family is enjoying it. It's taken his little train layout to a whole new level! we will definitely be purchasing other battery operated engines, and we would highly recommend this percy engine for any little train fan.

We bought this for our 2yo son. He loves it and has not stopped playing with it. The button can get stuck in the "on" position, but it usually means that the top piece of the train has pulled away from the bottom slightly. It's an easy fix - just press them back together and make sure the tiny screw holding the pieces together is tight. It is a metal piece, so it's heavier than the other wooden cars, and the one downside is that the wheels don't roll manually if you try to push it along the track - it has to be turned "on" to actually move. It can struggle to take some tighter corners on his track, but it actually works better than i anticipated. Worth the money to us to see him so excited about a surprise present.

Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway, Hiro - Battery Operated

It's slow, but strong and quiet and that's exactly what i wanted. I'm taking one star off because it's too easy to leave it running unattended on its side or pushing into a corner until the battery dies. The target audience for this is small children, and they can't be expected to turn things like this off when the world is full of fun distractions. The button is also too hard to push, but i don't mind that it's a bit challenging to turn on. I just think it should have come with a timer so that it shuts itself off after a minute or 5. . That being said, it is strong enough to pull all of my son's train cars at once (8 or so of them) without slowing down, so other than the propensity to kill batteries it really is a great toy.

Fisher-price Thomas Train Wooden Railway Battery-operated Hiro (Fisher Price) FAQ.

I have a 4yo who currently loves "trains that move by themselves". He prefers the trackmaster motorized trains because they're faster. I prefer the wooden railway ones because they're much sturdier and less breakable by his baby brother. We bought hiro 3 months ago for 4yo's birthday and i am so impressed with how strong it is. It's the only motorized train we have, wooden or trackmaster, that can pull 10 cars uphill and not derail. In fact, hiro barely ever derails, even if he's pulling his cars around sharp turns. I don't think we've had to replace the batteries yet. If you're looking for a fast train, this should not be your top choice, but it still gets lots of play because of the large loads it can pull, and i'm quite certain it will last a lot longer than the trackmaster ones. -Notice from A. Maria, Doncaster

My then 3. 5 yr old son got this in christmas and he fell in love with it. He spent lots of time playing with it along with the other wagons he had. For some reason i was under the impression that this series of thomas train did not have battery powered locomotives compatible with the wooden tracks we had. But after spending some time to make sure this will work, we got this and it perfectly fits are wooden tracks.

- Y. NewellThis powered hiro looks cool! . The finish on this engine is great! . It take one aa battery. No lights or sounds. We have 3 powered engines, hiro, thomas and percy. We also have the powered jet engine. Percy works the best of these. Hiro is the worst engine for staying on the track. Overall the jet engine is the worst.

My son loves hiro. This train is great. It goes faster than the cheap battery operated ones from walmart and can pull a lot more cars than any other train. The battery is pretty easy to replace and we have replaced ours many times because hiro tends to run all day at our place.

Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway, Thomas - Battery Operated

This automatic version may not be suitable for a 3-year-old. At first i really liked the toy. It it worked well despite the abuse my son put it through except that it did not stay on the tracks very well. When the train went around a bend or if it was pulling a couple of cars, it would topple over. Accidents happen just like the song! my son learned that it was fun to make the train fall over especially since he watched a few "thomas accidents happen" youtube videos. After that he started playing more roughly with the trains deliberately pushing them off the table, etc. Like in the videos. Also, when the battery would die he would forcefully push the train manually which it is not designed for. Consequently, the wheels did not function properly and my husband pinched his finger when he was trying to fix the wheels while the train was running. . Our son could have pinched his fingers between the moving wheels because he would not simply let the train run on the tracks so now we don't let him play with it. He plays with the talking thomas and the non-battery-operated thomas train. We will let him play with his automatic trains again when he is older. He loves the thomas trains and i do think that fisher price toys are generally very durable and safe.

Good product. Just want to highlight that the product picture is actually a learning curve one and it has a light. The fisher price one is a bit bigger and does not have the light. -Notice from Y. Pearce, Queensland

Lovely thomas. It goes well on straight tracks but it has a tendency of derailing in the curves. After careful inspection it seems that one of the front wheels does not turn when activated. It had this problem since we took it out of the box and it didn't fall on the floor not even once. We have other motorized wooden engines and they work fine. My little one still likes to play with it.

- H. GuestI would definitely recommend this engine, great product at a great price. The one we got is made in china. . Pros; . Works well on the mismatched tracks we have. Strong little engine. Mostly metal construction. Plastic parts are good plastic. Plastic powered wheels have a rubber outter surface that gets amazing traction. It's 4 wheel drive (the center 2 wheels are not powered), with tons of torque. You'll be shock at how hard you'd have to press your finger into the wheel to stall out the motor. Takes 1 aa battery that is accessible with a mini philips screw driver. Very quiet compared to my son's percy engine(different brand). If it's laying on the floor on its side 10 feet away, you can't tell if it's even on. Easy on/off toggle. There is a big rectangular button that is flush with the surface on top of thomas for on/off - my 2 year old only needed me to show him how to work it once. Uses rounded magnets for coupling trailers, compatible with brio etc. This thomas engine was able to pull 8 trailers, some with wooden animals in them up over a bridge, so it certainly passes my performance test. I would imagine it could pull many more. . Cons; battery life. Alot of power driven by 1 aa. Get some rechargeable aas. Would be nice if it had wireless charging :). The wheels don't spin freely, because the drive wheels are geared so low. What i mean is. You cant roll it hardwood floor like a hotwheels car. It wont budge like that. Not a big deal unless a toddler wants to try to push it along the floor/bannister/sofa/wall etc. It works very well, however, when it is powered. . Overall; you really can't go wrong with this engine.

Our little train enthusiast loves the battery operated percy so it only seemed fitting to purchase thomas as well. He loves the train and seems very pleased. The only thing negative i have to say about the train is he has gotten his skin/finger caught twice in the wheels. I'm not sure if it's because he has 6 wheels and percy only 4 or what. The first time it was his stomach. He is a small guy at only the 10% in weight. He was playing at the train table shirtless and put thomas against his stomach. His skin somehow got tangled in the wheels and made a horrible place on his belly. I put a shirt on him and he continued to play. Later the same day i heard him crying and his finger was caught. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem. He has tons of thomas trains and this is the only one we've had issues like this with.
