Jakks Power Trains: Testing the Pacific Power Trains Auto Loader City

CTR testers Corey and Emma help us better understand a new twist on train sets, and an entirely different price range. Power Trains are hampster-sized motorized trains that run on 2 AAA batteries that last about an hour. The "Auto Loader City" set, reviewed here, contains 56 pieces that include: 1 Auto Loader; 1 Motorized Engine; 4 train cars; 2 tunnels; 20 small decorations, and 28 track pieces that can be attached to make more than 18 feet of track. As you can imagine, there's a good deal of assembly required, and the parts don't always snap together perfectly. Testers found the coupling process (attaching the engine to a car, for example) clumsy. Engine features include two speed settings, a small LED headlight and wheels that work either on track or off. This isn't nearly the quality that you'll get out of a typical Lionel set, but it isn't nearly the price, either.

As much as they are old, I still like them, i still have tons of them that my grandparents and dad got me, it's not ACTUALLY model trains, but it's a good way of scaled railroading for young kids

Thanks for showing me if they had a switch or not

I did a google image search for the mining set and found where you could buy one. Tried to post it but it wouldn't let me. I bought these sets because of your reviews thanks a lot!

1:05 if you want a power trains set that comes with everything for a city then you should get the power trains deluxe city set
