Train Set Disney Mickey Mouse Holiday Christmas, iffy electronics - $35 (Appleton north)
QR Code Link to This Post
Pretty big. The oval track in the pictures is just using the curved track pieces. There's another 10 pieces of straight track to make the track even bigger.
Works, but....
There's some corrosion in the battery tray. One of the battery contact springs is rusted away, and the rest of the metal contact area has lots of corrosion.
I wiped away a bit of the corrosion and then used a piece of aluminum foil to fill up the space where the contact spring was. The train works with that. That's not ideal, but it shows the train will work if the contacts are cleaned up. And of course the train can also be pushed around the track by hand as a non-electronic toy.
I don't know what's with two of the remote control buttons. There's a button to play sounds, and a button to play songs, and sometimes they work sometimes not. The forward/backward and stop buttons work okay.
Looks good.
Has the Disney figures and two railroad crossing posts. The green top piece fits on top of the train fine, I just had it off to show the batteries and the (unnecessarily big for the task) piece of aluminum foil.
Needs 4 AA batteries in train, 2 AA batteries in remote.
The box is nice overall. A mild rip on each end.
Can deliver to Neenah or so depending on the day.
Here's a one-minute video of it. The link goes to my Microsoft OneDrive account:
